I consider *Butsutekkai* among THE most epic boss themes of any video game ever made. It's utterly fantastic and gets you in the mood for an equally epic battle.

Does the Switch port have Tate mode so you can play in Portrait?

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

Absolutely awesome boss theme - genuinely thrilling and exciting!

[@ilanlaham6911]

That "NO REFUGE" sentence at the bottom of the boss warning goes insanely hard

[@coelophysisbauri4070]

Agreed!

[@InamorastraStardustLucille]

@fullmetalbg IWBTG is a platformer, Ikaruga is a 2D shooter. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Sure they might both be hard, IWBTG being harder because its main purpose is to be hard as fuck, but difficulty really isn't enough to compare the two. I'm just glad IWBTG was there to introduce me to all the awesome music it used, such as this song, So even if you don't like the game it's good for something.

[@karnagefails333]

A very FINE shmup.A fine shmup indeed.I can appreciate every aspect of effort that was put into making this game and it will always hold a place in my heart as a gamer.

[@gigaslave]

Watching most S++ rank runs you only hear the first 30 seconds of this track lol.

[@NotRegret]

The title of the song translates to 'do not withdraw'

[@zombyjano]

I already put in the quarters, like hell I'm gonna withdraw.

[@doritopenguin3048]

NO REFUGE is pretty close to that.

Cool boss music. It has a great feel to it when it starts.

[@Warmelon1]

I like how this song and also the one from Chapter 1 have that Metal Slug feel to them.

[@NervFaktor00]

After thinking about it again, I'll have to give you that Ikaruga on hard requires a lot of memorization of patterns. Some things in Ikaruga are almost impossible if you don't know exactly what'll happen. In this category it is much harder than touhou at least, where you can beat most patterns with raw skill even if you don't know them by heart.

[@SIGNOR-G]

Its always interesting to find touhou named in these kind of videos. I never played and i dont like its style but how good is it?

[@chaoseclipse0121]

@@SIGNOR-G Touhou is more of a puzzle shooter than high-speed / high-reflex shooters like Cave Shooters. The stages usually consist of about 2 to 4 minutes of dealing with streams of enemies that either directly shoot at you or shoot indirectly at you, which means you end up either bullet streaming or micro-dodging through most of the stages. Bosses are very obvious in which the character you play as and the boss have a short chat before fighting actually happens. Bosses have two phases: Non-Spell Patterns, which then lead into Spell Card Patterns. Once you take down that spell card pattern's lifebar, the next non-spell pattern / spell card pattern takes over. The further in you get, the more spell cards bosses will have, with a total of 6 bosses in the main game, followed by an Extra Mode with an Extra Stage and Boss. Stages and Bosses require some minimal memorization of their patterns in order to actually beat the game proper, otherwise you'll never unlock Extra Mode as you need to 1CC the game on at least Normal or Higher to unlock Extra Mode. Then some of the games, such as Touhou 8 Imperishable Night, have some really complex unlock gimmicks that will take you a long time to get everything properly unlocked. For the most part, once you know what you're doing with a particular game, it'll take maybe between 30 to 45 minutes to complete the full main part of a game for one specific character, and then Extra Mode takes about 15 to 20 minutes to clear. Touhou's main selling point for most people is usually the music. There's always at least one really good song per game, and some games the entire soundtrack can be gold (I find nearly all of the 4th game's soundtrack to be amazing, Lotus Land Story btw).

Bullet hell masterpiece that is worth the playthrough

[@whichDude]

Not as hard as most shoot em ups unless you crank up the difficulty. Game is very generous with respawns. Nothing compared to R-Type or Gradius were dying once makes you restart the level with no power ups.

[@benjamincurran5799]

I just want to say that upon reading this comment I have actually tried beating Eboshidori's first and second phases like this and I can only say that it is possible due to the deceptively small hitbox of the Ikaruga, just really hard for a first boss.

[@ikagura]

In exchange you do more damage so it's big risks big rewards.

[@NervFaktor00]

Ikaruga, however, is a very easy shoot'em up, at least when compared to pretty much any other bullet hell shooter, especially CAVE games, and while IWBTG is indeed full of learning where the traps are it also has many screens and bosses that are just plain difficult and require skill. Saber698 is right, it's apples and oranges.

[@LeonidasArg2021]

Imagine Reimu Hakurei and Marisa coming from the Touhou world and then see they need to destroy cybernetic technology

Have you played a cave game? Even most touhou games are harder than ikaruga on the higher difficulties and touhou games aren't very hard bullet hell games either.
