* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Your ship has a shield that can be used to slow down and cancel bullets, though holding it up doesn't guarantee safety. Moreover, as it touches bullets, it weakens and shrinks; if your shield gauge hits 0%, it shatters.
* TitleDrop: [[spoiler:The final boss is called the Judgement Silversword.]]
* WhatTheHellPlayer: In the second stage of ''Cardinal Sins'', Sloth, you must "rescue" 1-ups. Unlike in JSS, you can shoot them and destroy them. Doing so will result in a "[[BigNo NO!]]" message.
A GaidenGame, ''Cardinal Sins: Judgement Silversword Recycle Edition'' was released for free by the same author, for the ''[=WonderWitch=]'', a developer's edition of the WS. Instead of having traditional stage design, the player goes through 7 stages, each of which bear very different objectives (i.e. destroying all enemies, collecting [[OneUp extends]], collecting medals]]).
Both games were rereleased in 2011 as part of a bundle with ''Judgement Silversword''[='=]s SpiritualSequel, ''Eschatos''.
