Verdict
Shadow Fight 2 and Ninja Arashi both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Ninja Arashi's written reviews are positive against 44% of Shadow Fight 2's. Ninja Arashi also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). Shadow Fight 2's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (274K vs 3.3K). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Shadow Fight 2's written reviews are positive against 88% of Ninja Arashi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
