KendoDou? is a 1- or 2-player 3D kendo game that uses physics to model the sword and players. There are three zones that are available for attack: head, wrist, and body (these are called "men", "kote", and "dou" attacks in Japanese). There is a room for learning about these attacks as well as defending yourself. The 1-player room allows you to fight against the computer (you can change the level and the types of attacks that they use). Pressing and dragging on the point of view screen will cause your sword (shinai) to rise and you can move it to defend yourself. Raising it above your head will reveal target buttons for doing different attacks. To do the attack, you need to drag down quickly to the target button and your attack will be initiated. The “men” head button is in the center, and there is a “kote” button for each wrist. The “dou” body button is revealed when your finger is in the top left or top right part of the screen. If you hit the target with sufficient force, you will see its outline light up and you will hear your "kiai" scream. When that happens, you need to either move forward into (or backwards away from) your opponent to complete your attack and a win ("ippon") has been registered. When you win, the judges raise a flag that corresponds to the small piece of cloth on the back of your player ("tasuki"). In the 2-player room, you can play against your friends. First connect both machines to the same wifi. Then one player selects player 1 and the other player selects player 2. Then both players should press the Bow button at the top left of the screen to start. The players will bow together and then once they are up, you can start. At the end of the match, player 1 can press the play button to reset the players on both machines. Then both players must press the Bow button to start the match. In Japanese, “kendo dou?” can mean “how about doing some kendo together?”(it is pronounced something like “kendo dough?”). “Dou” can also mean stomach/body or way (the “do” in kendo). This game is still in development, so please leave comments in the reviews to help me improve this game.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KendoDou? at 5.0 against NoomiClone's 4.4. KendoDou? also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). NoomiClone's advantage is ratings volume (648 vs 2) and review sentiment (79% vs 58%). On price, update cadence, 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. KendoDou? sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NoomiClone sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
KendoDou? holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoomiClone has 648 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of KendoDou?'s written reviews are positive against 79% of NoomiClone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KendoDou? ships an update weekly, NoomiClone every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
