Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Kaetram at none against Dark Blue Dungeon's shown. Kaetram also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (72% vs 63%). Dark Blue Dungeon's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
