Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Dragon Survival at every 2 weeks against Vikings II's every 2 months. Dragon Survival also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 37%). Vikings II's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 360) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
