Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Mobfish Hunter at Free against Dungeon Defense's $0.99. Mobfish Hunter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Dungeon Defense's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On rating, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
