Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Chanbara Samurai at Free against SimpleLightShowNOAD's $9.99. Chanbara Samurai also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 20 months). SimpleLightShowNOAD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
