Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dungeon Core at none against Cask's 6. Dungeon Core also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Cask's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
