10 BRUTAL Video Games (Where You Don't Have To Kill Anybody)
9. Ikaruga
When it comes to gaming genres where killing is the most widespread, shoot em ups have surely got to be pretty high up on the list. After all, finding yourself completely outnumbered with only an automatic weapon to protect you is basically an excuse to start raining hellfire in every direction.
Compound that with the already notoriously high difficulty of the critically acclaimed Ikaruga series, and it seems that attempting a pacifist run in these games is something only for those who are confident they are not going to be prone to fits of uncontrollable gaming rage.
With that been said, it is possible to complete much of the Ikaruga game without resorting to violence, though it is certianly not easy. Those who complete the test of patience successfully without firing a shot are rewarded with the Dot Eater achievement.
