 [[Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi]] is a [[bullet hell]] [[shooting game|shoot-em-up]] developed by [[CAVE]] in 2002. Its primary defining gameplay attributes are its '''highly complex bullet patterns''', its '''proximity-based chip scoring system''', and the '''lock-on focus shot''' utilized by the player ships, ''Tiger Schwert'' and ''Panzer Jäger''. It was developed alongside ''[[DoDonPachi DaiOuJou]]'' and runs on the same engine, as well as utilizing many of the same sound effects and explosion graphics. Both games are also notable for the switch to pre-rendered 3D models as sprites, giving the games a distinctive (and grittier) look compared to the studio's previous works, ''[[DonPachi]]'' and ''[[DoDonPachi]]''. The story involves a group of young men who are sent on a secret "suicide mission" to destroy the EVAC Industry, an arms dealer who is developing a series of extremely dangerous weapons of mass destruction.

 At the end of each stage, the boss multiplier is used to award additional points based on the number of bombs and lives remaining. Each life (including the current life) grants five hundred points times the boss multiplier, and each bomb grants fifty points times the boss multiplier.

 The player is given three bombs after respawning from death, regardless of how many bombs they had before. Those playing for pure survival are advised to use a bomb if they feel death is unavoidable, in order to maximize how many bombs will be available to them throughout their playthrough.

-====Second Loop====
+==Loops==
 Following in the footsteps of the previous releases by CAVE, completing all five levels under certain conditions will trigger a second [[loop]] of the game. There are two variations of the second loop, called the '''Omote''' loop and the '''Ura''' loop. During the second loop, the scoring system entirely changes and requires different play strategies in order to maximize your scoring potential. ''(See [[Ketsui:_Kizuna_Jigoku_Tachi/Guides#Second_Loop_Scoring|Second Loop Scoring]] for more information.)'' Reaching the Ura loop is the only way to fight [[Evaccaneer DOOM]] at the end of the game, otherwise the game will end after destroying Evaccaneer in Stage 2-5.

-Killing enemies with the standard shot grants chip items and starts a countdown, and killing with the lock-on shot during countdown grants additional chips on top of cashing out the multiplier for the enemy killed. However, '''the chips granted when lock-on killing enemies in countdown are not spawned by killing the enemy itself. They're instead spawned from the ''explosions'' after the enemy is killed.''' This means that recieving the lock-on chips from an exploding enemy does not necessarily require that the enemy was killed with the lock-on shot.

 By killing an enemy with the standard shot to start a countdown, and timing a switch to the lock-on shot so it's active by the time the enemy is exploding, the game will grant the chips for standard-killing the enemy, and ''also'' grant the lock-on chips during the enemy's explosion.

 '''Switching to the lock-on shot to gain additional chips during an enemy explosion, without actually killing it with the lock-on shot, is known as ''empty locking''.'''
