Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Janken Samurai at none against Wild Bullets's 3. Janken Samurai also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0). Wild Bullets's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (76 vs 13). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Janken Samurai holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Wild Bullets's written reviews are positive against 57% of Janken Samurai's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wild Bullets ships an update every 11 days, Janken Samurai monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
