# Shadow Fight 2 vs Ninja Arashi 2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ninja Arashi 2 at 85% against Shadow Fight 2's 44%. Ninja Arashi 2 also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). Shadow Fight 2's advantage is ratings volume (274K vs 2.1K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shadow Fight 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Ninja Arashi 2 sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shadow Fight 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadow Fight 2 has 274K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Shadow Fight 2's written reviews are positive against 85% of Ninja Arashi 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
