Sine Mora EX Reviews
Sine Mora is an intriguing, stylish shooter that's well worth a punt at a budget price. Sine Mora EX, however, is a trickier sell; the underlying quality is still there and it can be a memorable experience, but the additions are sloppy and add little, making it tough to justify at its full price. On Switch it has portability going for it, with the game looking handsome on the handheld or TV - it's understandably sharper and easier to play than in the previous Vita version, for portable fans. It's a fascinating game, and may draw you back for plenty of repeat plays or even score-chasing runs to climb online leaderboards. Its flaws, however, mean it's not currently among the best of its genre.
They're a sight to behold and marginally more fun to play than the levels that house them. Sine Mora is a good-looking game and it's clear that a lot of effort was put into making it that way. It's just a shame that it's not as fun to play as it is to watch in motion.
Sine Mora EX is an amazing shmup! The story and presentation should be welcoming to newcomers of the genre. Shmup veterans will love the additional modes and the fun ranking system in the arcade mode. Being available on all consoles, including the Switch. I would recommend getting Sine Mora EX in your library!
Intellectually and aesthetically, it's a knockout. However, it's held back somewhat by a stingy power-up system, a burdensome time mechanic, and a few mundane modes.
