A legendary dungeon, filled with treasure and monsters to boot. A reckless hero arrives to strike it rich and steal the loot. With no torch to guide his way through the dark corridors, he heedlessly plunges on: “If I stick to the walls, they should lead the way, right...?” ===How to play=== 1. Rules - Move the fairy guardian with your finger to spawn blocks. - When the hero bumps into a wall or block, he turns right. - Place blocks strategically to guide the hero safely to the treasure. 2. Traps - When you pick up a treasure, a spike trap will appear on that square. - Hitting traps causes the hero to take damage. - If a monster bumps into a trap, both the monster and trap disappear. 3. Magic - Tap the orb at the upper right to unleash your magic spell, destroying all traps in the dungeon. - As the hero picks up treasure, the spell gauge is replenished.

IN THE NEWS “A full-on RPG, complete with character progression, inventory management, and NPC interactions ... The character development and combat systems find that sweet spot between being too simplistic to matter and becoming a bloated distraction.” – Gamespace.com “Untold is a really solid and convenient package. It delivers feelings of grand adventure while allowing you to experiment and explore, and it does this pretty much all through text. It may not satisfy folks looking for a flashier, more action-packed experience, but Untold's restraint is exactly what makes it so impressive and refreshing.” – 148apps.com JOIN THE COMMUNITY https://discord.eldrum.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Eldrum at 4.7 against Blind Man's Dungeon's 3.6. Eldrum also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). Blind Man's Dungeon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
