An absolute must from the get-go for both newcomers and veterans of the 'Shmup / STG / Bullet Hell genre. Ikaruga is known for it's unique approach and mechanics to it's gameplay, which set it apart from other 'shmup games. With an incredible soundtrack, great artistic direction, engaging story, challenging mechanics, and outstanding gameplay, Ikaruga quickly became a very treasured game for me, and it is definitely an instant classic you should have in your game library.
