Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PVKingdoms at none against Dungeons & Such's 5. PVKingdoms also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Dungeons & Such's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 29). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
