Verdict
Samurai Swords and Medieval Sword both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Medieval Sword's written reviews are positive against 50% of Samurai Swords's. Medieval Sword also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). Samurai Swords's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Samurai Swords holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Medieval Sword has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Samurai Swords's written reviews are positive against 95% of Medieval Sword's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Samurai Swords ships an update every 7 months, Medieval Sword every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
