Why play it

"Sora tells the story of its namesake: the lone enhanced human, Sora, and her struggle to protect a fading world. Enjoy breathtakingly fast-paced combat in the Suguri universe, with improved game system and graphics along with original trance music by DEKU."

Story and worldbuilding

"The beautiful blue sky is getting painted darker each passing moment. War. People killing each other. No one even knows who started it anymore. No one even knows how long they have been fighting against each other, forgetting what they are fighting for. People have made themselves into weapons to snuff others out, forgetting their dream of flying freely in the sky. The war has been lasting forever. But the end seems to be at hand. The population has seen a massive decrease, and the whole planet as the battlefiled is on the verge of destruction. Knowing all that, people have become weak and keep warring without getting hurt themselves. That way, they are merely postponing the inevitable. During the war, a girl was born. Her name was Sora. She was born with a power for fighting. She was not happy about it, but the people around her were and they sent her to the battlefield with no thought for her feelings at all. The last war on the worn-out planet. Whether it is won or lost, there would be nothing left. Sora did not know the meaning of the fight."

Sora is an experience worth checking out if you're grown bored of the standard bullet hell formula. The juggling of three different weapons sets and dash ability make this more involving than other shooters, while the difficulty level makes you pay attention to strategies, especially if you've lost your edge because other titles offer unlimited continues. With a presentation that is mostly good, Sora is a title that shooter fans should definitely check out.

It's big, mad, and difficult, but it looks and sounds great. Do not let this title shoot past you.

Sora can offer players a fantastic challenge. However, it takes a lot of practice before you can really enjoy this title, even when playing on the easiest settings. The mechanics offer multiple ways to play scenarios, but trying to remember each of them can be frustrating, and a lot of time, they get in the way of the fun fast-paced gameplay. Whether just playing through the melancholy story, unlocking weapons, or competing for high scores, Sora still makes for an enjoyable bullet-hell experience.
