The year: 1984. The place: Brooklyn, New York Dojo Number 7. The time: of no real consequence. "Ninja Attack!" is the result of a bizarre thesis statement: If Hunter S. Thompson was head of the art department at the Sega Corporation Ltd. in the early 80s, what would the bonus round in Shinobi look like? "Ninja Attack!" features: • 30 psychedelic unlock-able skins • Augmented Reality (AR) version (play in your own backyard!) • Hundreds of in-game quests • Power up weapons including bullets and cash money (make its rain!) • Haptic feedback • Optimized for iPhone X • Leaderboards • Awesome animated iMessage Stickers • Social Sharing • Fast, smooth, easy gameplay • 3 levels of difficulty: normal, hard, and insane! • Supports 9 languages

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ninja Attack! at 4.4 against Shadow Trick's 4.0. Ninja Attack! also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 32) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Shadow Trick's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 47%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ninja Attack! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Shadow Trick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ninja Attack! holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ninja Attack! has 1.3K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Ninja Attack!'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Shadow Trick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
