Ka-Ge-Ki (火激), sold as Ka-Ge-Ki: Fists of Steel in the US, is a 1991 action game developed by HOT-B for the Sega Mega Drive, ported from an arcade game and arranged in certain aspects, made by Taito and Kaneko in the year 1988. The player character is Ken, a boxer who's girlfriend was captured by a gang of criminals and taken to the ninth floor of their hideout. Ken must defeat every enemy to rescue his girlfriend.

Gameplay

The player fights through 9 stages, represented as floors of a building. In each stage, the goal is to defeat a certain number of enemies that attack the player one at a time. The number of enemies that appear is based on the stage and difficulty level. After enough opponents are beaten, a boss appears. After the boss is defeated, gameplay continues on the next floor until the final boss is defeated on the ninth floor.

Gameplay takes place in a small, square arena, where Ken and his opponent are free to move in all directions. Ken has a fast and a strong punch used to attack enemies, and can also jump to avoid enemies. Occasionally, one of three kinds of power-ups will appear in the arena, these will restore Ken's lost health or increase his attack power for a limited time.

Version differences

Voice data is different between the Japanese and US release.
Compared to the Arcade version, there are some significant differences, making this version an arranged version rather than a straight port.
- The game takes place in a building with changing backgrounds while the original was locatet at a harbor with a single background
- Gang members sitting in the background aren't there anymore, only their cheering for booing remains
- Weaker mob enemies where added, possibly to extend the game's length
- Enemies take more damage
- Some colors indexing mistakes happened, certain characters have wrong shade graduations as a result
