Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Plunder Panic at none against Minion Rumble's shown. Plunder Panic also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). Minion Rumble's advantage is ratings volume (723 vs 9). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
