Ikaruga is a Vertical Scrolling Shooter developed by Treasure, as a follow-up to Radiant Silvergun.Here, everything comes in one of two polarities: black or white. Black ships fire black shots, and white ships fire white. Your ship is unique in that you can switch between the two polarities at will. Your ship's Battle Aura can absorb bullets of the same polarity, but is destroyed by shots of the opposite polarity. However, your shots do damage to both polarities, with double damage to targets of the opposite polarity, giving you the option to fly with your defences down to increase your offensive power. Absorbed bullets charge up your special attack, a homing Beam Spam. Finally, the scoring system allows you to accumulate "chain" multipliers by destroying three enemies of the same polarity in a row.That's all there is to the game: no other gimmicks, no other features. Just five levels of careful design, switching polarity, and more bullets than you can shake a stick at. Ikaruga is a work of art that way: it takes a simple idea and plays that idea to its most logical extreme. All five levels are difficult in one way or another, but there is something to be said for elegance.Released as an arcade game (using the Sega NAOMI platform) and on the Sega Dreamcast in Japan in 2001, it was later ported to the Nintendo GameCube around the world in 2003. In 2008, it was ported to Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade. In 2013, a port of the game was released for Android smartphones. In the same year, an arcade rerelease of the game was released on the Taito NESiCAxLive digital distribution platform. A Windows PC port based on the Xbox 360 version of Ikaruga was greenlit for Steam, and consequently released on February 18, 2014. A version for Nintendo Switch was released on May 29, 2018, followed by a PlayStation 4 port on June 29 of the same year. | |

Darker and Edgier: Treasure somehow took the incredible bleakness of Radiant Silvergun and make it darker, in particular with the nearly monochrome watercolor artwork and dysfunctional heroes. However, it has a Lighter and Softer ending. | |

Necessary Drawback | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155 | comment |
Necessary Drawback: Ikaruga is one of the few shmups where, in a two-player game, the player ships cannot overlap each other; they will just push one another. Why? Because if this was possible, one player could stay in white polarity and the other in black, then stay close together so that their shields will intercept enemy attacks before they can reach either ship's hitboxes, which are smaller than that of their shields. At that point the only hazards would be damage from colliding with enemies and walls. | |

Power Limiter: The Ikaruga and Ginkei have these to prevent their ships from blowing up from storing too much excess power. Turning this off allows the pilot(s) to use the Dangerous Forbidden Technique and destroy the Post-Final Boss in a Heroic Sacrifice. | |

Arrange Mode: The console and PC ports include the Prototype Mode, where both normal fire and the Beam Spam consume ammo, but absorbing bullets will give it back. Firing with no ammo leaves you with a weak short-range weapon. | |

Misbegotten Multiplayer Mode | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_2b9272d7 | comment |
Misbegotten Multiplayer Mode: 2-player mode is overall a worse experience than 1-player. First, players don't overlap each other's ships, they will push one anothernote This is because if both players could overlap, one player could just stay in white and the other in black, and as long as they stuck together they would be invulnerable to attacks of both polarities since the bullets would be eaten by either shield before they could reach the ships' hitboxes., potentially into an object and killing each other. Second, the game's scoring system heavily emphasizes precision shooting, and chains are separated by player, meaning that both players will have a very difficult time trying to score well due to accidentally or otherwise shooting each other's targets. The only real reason it exists is to allow the second player slot to be filled on an arcade cabinet (and thus allow the operator to make more money). | |

Not Completely Useless: In Prototype Mode, if you run out of bullets you'll be switched over to emergency bullets that have barely any range. However, given that the game's scoring system relies heavily on precision shooting, it is very useful for picking off specific enemies without accidentally destroying other ones, and indeed many superplays of Prototype Mode rely on this weapon in places. | |

Kaizo Trap: When the boss of Chapter 2 dies, the second plate-like object that protects its weak points gets blown off. If your ship is directly below it, you can still die from getting hit by it, like so. If you defeat the Final Boss but fail to survive the Stone-Like, whose battle takes place after the final chapter, you get No Ending. Inverted with the Stone-Like, which is destroyed by the last volleys from your ships after your own self-destruct. | |

Challenge Run | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_7a7d698d | comment |
Challenge Run: At least in the Xbox 360 version, there's a scoreboard for "Dot Eater" play - meaning you don't fire a single shot, collecting points by surviving and by using your shield to absorb every last bullet you can. This is much harder than you may think, as there are points throughout the game that are literal walls. Without the ability to fire and destroy these walls, you have to align the Ikaruga just right to slip through the single pixel holes in them. | |

Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_83c0cabe | comment |
Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fight: After defeating Tageri, the Stone-Like emerges from the remains and attacks you with several different patterns of bullets for 60 seconds. You can't even shoot, much less damage it. After you dodge and absorb the Bullet Hell, your ship performs a Heroic Sacrifice Beam Spam with the energy charged up during that time. Shinra and Kagari ascends to a higher plane of existence according to the storyline in the Japanese version. | |

Bullet Hell | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_8aeccf04 | comment |
Bullet Hell: While its difficulty has arguably been eclipsed by some of the more recent entries in the genre, the game will still throw some truly intimidating patterns at you. Perhaps the most infamous example...◊ Though this game allows you to fly straight into enemy attacks so long as your color matches what's being shot at you. The real trick is knowing how to flow seamlessly between the polarities in times when both colors are staggeringly close to one another (you might be absorbing a black laser, but as you are, tiny white globs are making their way towards your ship and you need to figure out how to either dodge them or safely switch polarities without getting yourself blown up by the black laser). | |

Miles to Go Before I Sleep: Kagari, although this is not apparent beyond the back-story. After meeting Shinra, as well as the villagers who gave him the Ikaruga and outfitted her Ginkei with the same Reverse Polarity technology that exists on the Ikaruga, she found their idea of "freedom" to be something that could possibly surpass Horai's goal of conquest, and wants to see it for herself before she dies. | |

Tennis Boss: Battling Tageri can provide shades of this as both it and you trade homing lasers with each other. Even better, its health is scaled so that if you hit every return shot, it'll die exactly at the end of the musical phrase. However, given that Tageri has 30-odd life bars, which are progressively depleted each time it takes a hit from your weapons fire, this trope is ultimately a subversion. | |

Scoring Points | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_c64bdacd | comment |
Scoring Points: The game uses the chaining system from Radiant Silvergun, but with a few twists to make it more beginner-friendly — after every three enemies, you are allowed to change enemy color, and the chain bonus maxes out sooner at 25,600 points for your 9th chain and above, meaning screwing up once won't completely wreck your score. Additionally, since scoring is not tied to your ship's firepower, it is possible to complete the game in a reasonable timeframe without any regard to scoring. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis: Despite the similarities of gameplay concepts, Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga have distinct differences between each other. Radiant Silvergun featured a large assortment of weapons that can be leveled up through scoring, while Ikaruga only have two and foregoes the leveling system altogether. Radiant Silvergun requires learning how to score in order to keep weapons powered up, but Ikaruga can be reliably completed without learning how to score and, in fact, recognizes Pacifist Runs. Radiant Silvergun has stages that are broken up into smaller sections that each culminates with a boss battle, while Ikaruga's stages are singular, continuous levels with fewer boss encounters. Radiant Silvergun was developed using an in-house engine that features a mixture of 2D sprites with occasional use of 3D models, whereas Ikaruga uses a fully 3D game engine that was co-developed by G.rev Ltd.. Radiant Silvergun is displayed on a TATE (horizontal) screen, whereas Ikaruga is displayed on a YOKO (vertical) screen. Radiant Silvergun has a bright, colorful environments with an anime artstyle, and an engrossing plot throughout the game (in the Saturn/Story Modes of its home ports at least), while Ikaruga's environments are confined mostly to red/blacks and white/blues, uses realistic character designs, and the story beats are left to the manual and (in the later home ports) in-game documentation. The story of Radiant Silvergun starts off comical, but swiftly becomes an impossible struggle against an omnipotent god-like entity which ends with a Eternal Recurrence; Ikaruga begins with the Sole Survivor of a failed La Résistance charging off to face an unstoppable army's entire force alone and winning, even managing to destroy the entity from Radiant Silvergun in a Dying Moment of Awesome. | |

Gadgeteer Genius: Amanai is the Ikaruga village's chief engineer who built the Ikaruga for Shinra and (reluctantly) gave Kagari's Ginkei the same abilities that the Ikaruga has. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |
| Ikaruga (Video Game) / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: The arcade version of the game takes up only eighteen megabytes. Trust us, that's impressive. The Dreamcast version's disc image, when compressed, took up around 20-100 megabytes depending on the compression method, and the size of an average CD-ROM (around 650-700mb) uncompressed. The XBLA version is no slouch either; for a game enhanced for 720p, it squeezes by at fifty megabytes, which is saying more than other shooters on the service enhanced for high-definition. | |
