A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.
Ikaruga is a Science Fiction shooter game, where players control a ship that can switch polarity to destroy enemies of the opposite color and absorb their bullets for energy. Offering multiplayer for up to 2 players in local co-op and various difficulty settings, Ikaruga is the spiritual successor to Radiant Silvergun, with similar level design, bosses, and buddhism-inspired themes, all under the direction of Hiroshi Iuchi.

Infuriatingly difficult, but perfectly constructed. Ikaruga is the PC's best bullet-hell shooter.
