This article is over 16 years old and may contain outdated information

Japanese arcade sensation Ikaruga is coming soon to Xbox Live Arcade.

The game is described by Microsoft as “a fast-paced scrolling shooter with a twist,” with players managing their ships polarity to deal out and avoid damage.

It will feature two-player co-operative play locally and over Xbox Live. There is also a slow-motion training mode for novices.

The key to success for veteran players will be learning the chaining system to rack up bonus points. Helping along the learning process will be a recording/playback feature.

The game will cost 800 MS Points and will be available on April 9.
