Sine Mora is a very solid effort. It pushes the genre forward with some refreshing mechanics and story, and is not afraid to try new things, such as the using a language like Hungarian. You get a good campaign and some very tough challenge levels, plus some unlockables. If you like side-scrolling shooters, you owe it to yourself to get the game and enjoy the thrills it offers.

Sine Mora is unique game with great shooting mechanics like many other old school shoot'em up's. Great visuals and graphics, great gameplay, awesome soundtrack.. It takes 5 stars from me.. Really great game and worth your bucks.

No wonder it easily achieved 9/10 from IGN and 9.5/10 from destructoid, this is the one of best horizontal scroll shooters ever made. Not only it includes almost every convention from regular shoot’em up games, but also it repacks them based on an amazing visual style and in an outstanding way. Such as seamlessly rendering world from 2D into 3D when introducing the story, discretionarily rewinding time or slowing it down by special abilities, varying levels with different enemy and theme designs. In a nut shell, it constantly delivers intense and impressed game experiences by every minute

A fantastic mix of new and old as we meet a world that's something like classic space shooters meets Star Fox meets Prince of Persia, and jamming out to an amazing soundtrack by Akira Yamoaka of Silent Hill fame. You need this game if you like space shooters.

Sine Mora is Latin for 'without delay', which is a fitting recommendation for one of the finest side-scrolling shooters of the generation. This a compelling tribute to a bygone era, and a must-have if you're a fan of the genre.

I am not much of a shoot em up genre. But when I saw the trailer of this game and the screenshots I was impressed. And then I saw the game on sale here. So naturally I got it and am loving the game.

First thing first, the visual are so good. And the boss design are awesome( "awesome" is not a word which I use often). And surprisingly the game was good too.

There are different planes and pilots to choose from, which have different sub abilities! You collect powers up, sub weapon recharge, power recharge etc. which are all bread and butter of a normal shoot em up.

Sometimes the whole screen gets filled up with enemies bullet and stuff. And I am like, "Evade it, evade it, evade it!". So much fun. And defeating the boss feels rewarding. Game is not that harsh at normal difficulty. There are decent amount of continues.

In short, if you are a fan of this genre. Just get it!

Interesting game. The story mode is like the normal/easy mode and the arcade mode, which lets you pick from a good variety of ships, functions as the real challenge mode. The game's main gimmick is time control. Getting hit loses you time to live and hitting enemies gains you more time. Also you can slow down time and even rewind it depending on the pilot and situation. A good call for Shmup fans.

A capable bullet hell shooter from the studio best known for spawning Suda 51's masterpieces, Killer 7 and No More Heroes, as well as the Shinji Mikami shooter Shadows of the Damned, as well as the developers of the cult-favourite arcade plane-racing game SkyDrift, Digital Reality. The gameplay in Sine Mora is enjoayble to a degree - Digital Reality know how to make flying planes a lot of fun - but it really is held up by its presentation, in particular stellar sound and music direction from the legendary Akira Yamaoka, and boss designs from anime allumni Mahiro Maeda.

Whether or not you will enjoy Sine Mora depends on two things - your willingness to forgive often merely functional gameplay to take in an interesting world filled with vibrant designs and interesting characters, and whether or not your monitor is widescreen. The game is locked at a 2.51:1 cinematic aspect ratio, which is fine if you're rocking a 16:9 monitor. For myself, playing on a 16:10 machine, it was often a bit disconcerting having more than half of the screen estate filled up by black bars, and I imagine it only becomes more of a problem on 4:3 screens.

At any rate, the game plays really well, looks stellar, sounds amazing and has a great visual style and a sense of self-aware insanity - only a few technical issues and slight mediocrity hold it back from being a true classic of the bullet hell genre. If you're a fan of Grasshopper Manufacture's schtick up to this point, you'll eat this one up.

While the game is occasionally frustrating with its depth perception issues (is that turret in the background?) and being able to crash into walls (something most bullet hell games don't have), it looks amazing and it plays so well, even with the (unchangeable) keyboard controls that it's definitely worth the money.

rarely does such a mix of art and gameplay come together. this game rocks the same way old school games like life force did, but with WAY better direction. you arent a shmup fan if you dont own this.

Already released on xbox 360 a few months ago, Sine Mora is everything you could expect about a classical shoot'em up.

Gameplay is rock solid, enemies are numerous and bullets fly everywhere (please be advised that Sine mora isn't a manic shoot'em up) and bosses are vicious.

What sets Sine Mora apart from the indie crowd of shoot'em up is its realisation.

Everything here screams "quality", from the beautiful backgrounds to the excellent soundtrack.

If you like traditional shoot'em ups, you can't go wrong with Sine Mora.
