Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dice. at 4.6 against 暗棋2's 4.0. Dice. also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). 暗棋2's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
