Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Doomfields at Free against A Dark Room's $1.99. Doomfields also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). A Dark Room's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (4.8 vs 4.3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
