Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Samurai Flash at every 3 weeks against Mortal Kombat's every 3 months. Samurai Flash also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 54%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Mortal Kombat's advantage is chart position (#48 vs unranked) and ratings volume (151K vs 29K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
