Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PPN 2012 at none against Dark Sword's 13. PPN 2012 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Dark Sword's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 51 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
