The overall game length is extended by the additional pilots and ships selectable in the arcade mode, the aforementioned alternative ending, and achieving high scores on the leaderboards. In addition, there is some exclusive concept art to unlock from renowned anime artist Mahido Maede of The Animatrix and Kill Bill fame. 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.
Asher Asghar · Nov 12, 2013 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewSine Mora is not a long game, but it has a lot replayability thanks to it’s several modes of play, particularly if you’re eager to challenge yourself beyond simply finishing the game. I feel this is a title that should be experienced and enjoyed by all fans of the arcade shooter genre due to its detail and production values.
Matt Cullen · Nov 29, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewDigital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture have augmented the old shoot-'em-up formula with thoughtful additions that prove to be not only challenging, but addictive as well. Sine Mora evokes nostalgic sentiments of a bygone era and joy in its colorful and diverse world that you’ll want to return to time and time again.
Peter Brown · Mar 21, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full reviewDigital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture have created an absolute revolution in contemporary game design that proves beautiful, original things can still be done beyond the realm of first- and third-person shooters. It’s just as brave and elegant as Journey, while being as accessible and fun as a cherished Irem classic. Even if you think this game isn’t for you based on genre, Sine Mora may unexpectedly surprise and delight you.
Allistair Pinsoff · Mar 20, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full reviewPlaying through on the story's Normal or Challenging modes still provides the uninitiated with a dastardly curve to climb. Venturing into Arcade mode presents you with an even tougher challenge as you can only pick from two even harder modes to play though on. Sine Mora definitely isn't for those with soft skin - it'll pound you with bullets from all directions until you're left buffeted and bruised. But if you're made of the right stuff you shouldn't miss out on this polished and innovative take on the bullet-hell genre.
Vaughn Highfield · Mar 06, 2013 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewSine Mora is not only a breath of fresh air from a developmental perspective, adding new ideas to a old, yet ofter over-used genre, but it’s also fun. Few games nowadays manage to look good, play well, and still offer a level of enjoyment on par with games that haven’t existed since the Nintendo 64 era, but Sine Mora manages it. And for 1200 MP on the XBLA, I can’t recommend it enough.
Omar Khan · Apr 02, 2012 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThis isn't a particularly cheap experience, but for those devotees who will spend months, even years, forcing every last twitch and dodge into their muscle memory, it's money well spent. Clearly not one for casual players, this is a heartfelt love letter to one of gaming's thoroughbred genres and one that fans of the right temperament should experience without delay.
Dan Whitehead · Mar 21, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full reviewSine Mora does some great things that are not seen in this genre very often; breath-taking 3D visuals, re-invention of the traditional gameplay mechanics and a captivating story mode that also successfully introduces new gamers to the bullet hell experience without immediately scaring them off. While not everyone is going to feel that they got their money's worth at $15, what Sine Mora brings to the table is well made and a shining example of the sidescrolling shooter.
Brent Galietti · Mar 21, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full reviewEstamos deseando terminar este artículo para seguir pegando tiros en Sine Mora. Solo con esto, deberías haceros una idea de lo encantados que hemos quedado con este genial juego de acción que por diseño y dificultad, se ha convertido en uno de los mejores exponentes recientes de este veterano género. Si echabas de menos la acción de la vieja escuela estás de enhorabuena: Sine Mora ha venido para ocupar ese vacío.
Alberto Pastor · Nov 27, 2012 Reviewed onRead full reviewRespekt an Grasshopper und Digital Reality: Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass jemand einen derart hübschen Horizontal-Shooter auf die Beine stellt. Die abwechslungsreichen Luftschiffe, rauchenden Metallstädte und weiten Naturpanoramen beeindrucken nicht nur durch starke Technik, sondern sind auch unheimlich stilsicher gestaltet. Das clevere Zeit-System bringt viel Dynamik ins klassische Genre und auch die Kämpfe gegen gigantische Bosse rocken! Bei der Punktejagd bleibt mir das Spiel aber zu konservativ auf Profis ausgerichtet.
