Verdict

The call

Samurai Flash and Katana Master! both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Samurai Flash's written reviews are positive against 30% of Katana Master!'s. Samurai Flash also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 1.1K). Katana Master!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
