[Update] A BIG Patch 1.0.1 (more like 2.0.1) fixed most issues and drastically reduced times to collect weapons. Balance is also better. Some boss is easier bit still challenging enough. The game is much more fun now. It' good to know that the dev listened to all criticisms. (I give 9.5 score) Earth Atlantis Review - Visual is amazing !! Gameplay concept is interesting. If you love retro space shooters (R-type, Blood Money, In the hunt, Gradius, steel Empire), buy this game. Graphics - Obviously, the visual is very unique and also very beautiful. It use monochrome pencil-drawing style. When I saw only screenshots, I though it must be very eye-soaring to play this game, but NO, It looks great. I also like the parallax FX on the background. For some reason, It looks even better On handheld mode. Concept - I really love "Monster-Hunting" concept. Also, the game has only one large level "Metroidvania" style. I think it's s great combination. You have 38 monsters to hunt. In Quest mode, you have to kill some boss to open new locations/areas. Bosses are very different - some are swimming type/ some standing type. Gameplay - This one is tricky. This game is quite challenging . It's definitely just like old retro shooter game on NES/Genesis - people might consider them hard. Some boss are difficult but challenging. You need to carefully learn each boss attacking pattern. You can die easily even on easy setting if you are not careful enough, some boss has one hit-kill attack that might be difficult to some casual player and when you die, you need to upgrade your ship again from O, again just like old games. I will frustrate some casual gamers. It's not "Dark-Soul" difficult though. The game have a decent pace. Not as fast as, I thought. But it will get faster when you use new ships, they are faster than a default one. (I have unlocked 2 more ships so far.) Performance - the game run very well. I have never found any frame-rate drop problem. No glitch found. I've played this game for more than 6 hours (~50% completed) - I really enjoyed it. Conclusion: If you are a retro space-shooter fan (Genesis/NES) - buy this game. If you a casual gamer - probably not.

I love old PC point and click game. This game brought back nostalgic feeling and memories. However, it's not as good as many classic game in the genre. It's entertaining enough to keep me playing for 3-4 hours. I don't see any benefit of Pixel graphic. I would love the game much much more if the graphic is better.

I am a real retro shooting fan and I can say Sine Mora EX is quite disappointing. I played this game 5 years ago and I was so excited to play a shmup game on the Switch. (Sine Mora on mobile is just bad.) Developer can just add extra ships or extra stages. But No, Nothing. - Nothing new, just like the original one - English dub adds nothing to the game - You can buy it cheaper on other platform.
