Cavern is a dungeon crawler in the vein of genre classics like Rogue and Nethack - but with original game world not based on any existing roguelike. Each level is randomly generated so no two games are the same. ---- Cavern was full of ancient treasure which surface people dug up to keep their high standards of living. Caves were inhabited by hostile creatures of the nether but Mystery Object of the surface kept the evil weak with it's power. Somehow, creatures of the deep managed to steal the Mystery Object and took it to the deepest levels of the Cavern. Now You, the Hero, must retrieve it before it's powers are used against the Surface! Features: •Shops to buy equipment and sell treasure •Three characters to play: Fighter : strong melee character. Adventurer : specialises in bows. Mystic : uses wands and scrolls. •Vintage game art by DeBray Bailey •16 randomly generated dungeons •In-game tutorial •Over 40 different monsters •Randomized item attributes and special unique items. •Online Highscores and ranking for each game played. •Saves your exact game state when receiving call or switching to another app. •Juicy sound effects. •Permadeath

Welcome to the old school RPG world of Saga RPG II: Evolution. Story ------ You have rid the lands of the evil Dragon King in your victorious epic battle and the people are thankful. However, the Skeleton King is now gaining power and the land is again being threatened. You are once again being called to arms to uphold peace as you journey through the lands. May your sword stay ever sharp. What to expect -------------- This game is built to be lightweight. The download is tiny, and the game processing is minimal. To accomplish this, the game itself is pretty simple. This is a second version, which is larger than the first and will grow as expansions are released, but the goal of remaining lightweight will remain. If you like the game, please show your support by providing a positive rating/feedback. Thank you for playing!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Saga RPG II at Free against Cavern's $2.99. Saga RPG II also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 80%). Cavern's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On rating, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
