Ikaruga is probably the single most stylish shmup ever created. This game caused me to fall in love with Yasushi Suzuki's art and probably shaped my own artstyle irreversably with it's cold and mechanical way of expressing itself.

What pains me most is that I never even managed to finish this game on hard. And probably never will, because every single time I zone out some inverse colored projectile rams at me to be my doom.

Oh also this is free on Xbox Store for some reason. Thanks Treasure.
