BastioRuga (spoilers)

If you've met me, you probably know I have two favorite video games.

- Ikaruga is my favorite.
- Bastion is my other favorite.

So I started thinking,“Why do I like these games over everything else?”

Then it hit me. Its because...

 Ikaruga and Bastion are the same game

What do I mean?

Well...

Both star a male protagonist, who is young, has white hair, and is a former soldier. Their ,stories take place in a nontraditional, post-apocalyptic setting.

Both heroes are guided by an old man who gives the hero a care package to fight evil.

Both games have a dark haired, vaguely aristocratic man from another culture as the antagonist.

Both games feature a dark haired female protagonist/love interest, from another culture, who dresses in a strange way.

Both games were made by a team that is less than ten people big.

Both games took about two years to make.

Both games revoke the ability to kill things in the final act.

Both games feature the theme of overcoming regret. 

Both games came out on a year that ends with "1"

Both endings are of the bittersweet variety, and take place in the sky. 

But yet, they're a little different...
