Is Sora worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Bullet hell fans who want fast-paced action
- Players who want story, arcade, and match modes
- Shoot'em-up fans who enjoy unlocking weapons and selecting mission equipment
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced shooter may bounce off the fast combat and bullet hell action.
- Players wanting a broad range of activities may find the focus on three shoot'em-up modes too narrow.
- Players looking for a cooperative shooter may not find the listed game structure suitable.
Our take on Sora
The bounce point arrives when fast bullet patterns demand sustained attention. Players who struggle with the game's bullet hell action may hit a wall before exploring all three modes or unlocking its wider weapon selection.
What is Sora?
Control Sora, an augmented human fighting to preserve a dying planet in this rapid-fire shooter.
Tactical bullet-hell battles unfold across Story, Arcade, and Match modes. The arsenal contains more than 20 weapons, with three available for each mission. The English version adds high-resolution artwork, while DEKU provides original trance tracks. Sora was born with a talent for combat and forced into the front lines during the planet’s final war, despite having no desire for that role. Steam owners also receive a bonus 100% Orange Juice character at no additional cost.
