Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dungeon Abyss at 4.7 against POWDER's 4.2. Dungeon Abyss also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months). POWDER's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 20) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
