What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Ketsui Deathtiny: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi (PS4)


July 12th, 2025

I'm really spacing out for it being fairly early in an uneventful day! I did go get Vietnamese food for a friend's birthday, and stopped at Dollar Tree after, but there's nothing high intensity about any of that. Oh, well! It's ok to be a little out of it on a weekend.

Last night, I played some more of Ketsui: Deathtiny, grinding away at the lowest difficulty option on the super in-depth training mode. I cleared stage one with no hits as both planes, but it took more effort than I'd care to admit for the full stage run! It was really satisfying to get there, though.

I tried Akai Katana Shin, too, and got my butt kicked hard. I am not sure what I should be doing when I swap between shooting with a plane and a magic flying person yet, and not sure if now is the time to start juggling this game. It's very cool, though! I'm sure my lack of an attention span will bring me back here sooner rather than later.

Last night I was being a big dork and realized that I could just pick up Ketsui Deathtiny: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi as a PS4 download rather than importing a physical copy and did just that. I played the G-Mode Archives port of the flip phone version of this a lot a couple months ago, so starting it up for the first time had a strange "Wow, this is what this game is supposed to look and sound like!" feeling to it.

Gameplay-wise, though, they were a lot more comparable than I expected. I started in Super Easy mode, just out of a lack of confidence, but got my 1CC on my first try. It felt really good! One of the trophies in this game is for clearing Super Easy mode with no deaths, though, not just no continues, and I imagine the f-bomb will be dropped as often as my pilot's auto-bomb as I chase that goal.

At any rate, I like Ketsui. The music is neat and it makes me feel relaxed, so I'm looking forward to playing a ton of this.
