Vertical arcade shooter by Cave
The briefing
Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi is a vertical flying shooter developed by Cave and released in 2001.
Set in 2054, the game takes place after melting ice caps and global catastrophes have caused nations to disappear beneath the sea. Resource shortages drive the remaining nations into World War III, while advanced weapons supplied by EVAC Industry fuel conflicts around the globe.
EVAC has grown into a powerful arms dealer with its own cities, shipyards, defensive installations, airport, and heavily equipped mercenary army. The campaign centers on the effort to confront the company and end its role in the escalating war.
