The weapons are simply out of whack. The rocket launcher is the first unlocked weapon, and is WAY better than anything else even if it is a little slower than the others; having massive area effect damage, infinite range and ammo. The least you could do to balance the game would be limit the number of shots with it. Once a weapon is acquired, you should be able to select the one you want to use. I often don't even notice the NPC has spoken until it's about to flash off the screen. And, as many people have already said: A map would be helpful, the soldiers shouldn't do as much damage as the mecha.

I'd like to be able to kill the last enemys in the "boss arena" after killing the level boss to get my gold star.
Good game apart from that.

1 star for being forced to completely replay the 5-10 minute level after you get to the boss. Game really needs to have a quick save so that you can just replay the boss if needed. Level 3 is brutal.

I can't believe the drops disappear so fast! I like to take my time killing things... I wish they didn't disappear on me! I mean I lose more health in "trying" to get the stupid medic kit in panic before they disappear!

WTF, I go ALL THE way to the boss, destroy it and then have to go ALL THE WAY BACK in under 2 minutes. That is some lame a$$ BS.

These games need to stop queuing actions. The slightest lag can cause my character to go careening off. Forcing me to stop doing anything until he catches up.

I came up with this idea of standing on top of the tank boss so that it couldn't shoot me, but it started shooting backwards, what's the point in rotating or even having the turret if it can shoot at all angles?

"You'd better search for a health pack". Yeah, sure. As if you could find one without killing enemies. Which is kind of hard to do if the next thing is a miniboss and you're at 15. Plus no intermediate saves on a mission - get killed and you just wasted 10 mins. 1/5

I gotta tell you - this takes me back to the glory days of video games. Speaking that Ikaruga is one of my favorite games of all times, job well done.

As everyone else already says, the cover is shitty and is only used to restrict my movement. It pisses me off that I can physically SEE foot soldiers jumping the walls to get close to me. Need I mention the HORRIBLE weapon drops? I had the weapon choice I believed was good and while advancing, killing foot soldiers, I picked up a shitty 'G'. Also, the mortar is shit. It does radius damage strong enough to get an exact kill on a foot soldier. The mortar should be limited and capable of destroying whatever is in its path.

It seems like most of you haven't understood the idea behind this game.
1. You leave footprints. That is your "map"
2. You don't have to get all medals in one run. So you do a speed run, a defensive one and an aggressive one.
3. It is NOT shitty to walk back. That's the second part of the mission, rushing back. Like if every second mission was timed if you like that idea better.
4. You shoot over the "cover" as well. So yes, it only obstructs movement, don't see a problem.
4. The hard an impossible badges are what their name is. (in this game at least)
Restart button would be nice.
And you should be able to disable those "upgrades", although it can be seen as an additional challenge to either dodge the "bad" upgrades or adept to picking them up.
