What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

G-Mode Archives+: Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi DX (Switch)

April 10th, 2025

Yesterday, I felt stressed, so I turned on G-Mode Archives+: Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi DX because I thought it would be interesting to play a Japanese feature phone port of a bullet game on my Switch. It was choppy, somewhat blurry, had muffled sound, and was extremely fun. I've never played a normal version of Ketsui, but I got very locked into this, collecting the little scoring cubes and dodging hundreds of lovely pink and blue video game bullets. I was using easy mode for the auto-bombs and got to level 3, making me feel like I can definitely see the end of this. Plus, it just stops after one credit, so I'm about to have a very weird first-ever 1 credit clear.

My game clear yesterday, which is less interesting in retrospect, was 100 Robo Cats, a find-the-cats Steam game where cats frolic with mechs. It was good because of the theming, but a little lame because the cats weren't actually hidden. This is such a common issue with these games that it feels a little rude to complain. I know what I'm getting into.

I fought through a couple more levels of Pretty Girls 2048 Strike, too, getting unnaturally fired up at my ability to match numbers. This is such a fun battle system that I'm still taken aback by it being in such a silly anime girl exploitation game. Even after I clear this, it will stay on my Legion Go forever.
