Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Puzzle Craft 2 at every 6 days against Alchemy Dungeon's every 4 months. Puzzle Craft 2 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (478 vs 42). Alchemy Dungeon's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 54%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Puzzle Craft 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puzzle Craft 2 has 478 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Puzzle Craft 2's written reviews are positive against 69% of Alchemy Dungeon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puzzle Craft 2 ships an update every 6 days, Alchemy Dungeon every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
