Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dungeon Rush at none against Evo Defense's shown. Dungeon Rush also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Evo Defense's advantage is ratings volume (9.7K vs 420) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
