I woulndt really see it to be that challenging. If you want a crazy shooter that offers no shielding like Ikaruga does... try Radiant Silvergun. If you pass that one, my hats off to you especially in the higher settings.<br></blockquote><p><blockquote><i>Originally posted by Xian Shade</i><p>You missed the point of it entirely. Not being able to fire at your enemies and NOT die the whole way is nigh impossible, because in the later stages, the enemies go kamakazi on your ass, and no amount of energy shielding will stop their ship.<p>Try that thought again with that in mind.<p></blockquote><p>I understood what you meant. All I was stating that you do have one advantage going for you. Nothing more than that. Any shooting game is difficult, do however remember that Ikaruga is the "sequel" of sorts for Radiant Silvergun which many people complained been too difficult. Hence why they implemented a new mechanic into Ikaruga. I apologize if I made it seem to be a less of an accomplishment, I wasnt trying to do that.<br>
