Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dungeon Core at none against Dash Quest 2's 14. Dungeon Core also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 51%). Dash Quest 2's advantage is ratings volume (906 vs 32) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Dash Quest 2 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Dungeon Core asks for nothing beyond the download.
Dash Quest 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dash Quest 2 has 906 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Dash Quest 2's written reviews are positive against 74% of Dungeon Core's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dash Quest 2 ships an update fortnightly, Dungeon Core every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
