About the game

Sine Mora EX is a side-scrolling shoot'em up that provides a unique challenge, where time is the ultimate factor. Mixing classic shooter sensibilities with contemporary presentation, Sine Mora EX is a gorgeous shoot'em up offering both a Story Mode that weaves an excessive tale and an Arcade Mode.

The value story

It has been discounted 79 times in the 9 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 80 percent off still sits 101 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 80 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef ($19.99, scores 65) and RIVE ($1.04, scores 64) both outscore it.

I suffered trough it. It looks nice with the gorgeous 3D graphics, but everything else is off. Gameplay, storytelling, mechanics, fairness, pacing, overcomplication of simple things all pretty bad. Anyway you can't really look at the gorgeous 3D graphics because you have to evade 100 billion bullets and need your attention glued to 10 cm around you ship. Even after finishing it I'm not really sure whether getting...

Great shmup definitely from the top shelf. Visuals are nice, exhilarating boss fights, interesting levels. Not too long but gameplay is solid, can't expect more from such 3D shoot'em up.
