Death Note: Kira Game or DEATH NOTE キラゲーム
Death Note: Kira Game is a Death Note nintendo DS game. It released on February 15th, 2007. The game is available in Japanese, and an English patch was made lovingly by AGT Team (anime game translation team) in which all you need to do is patch your Kira Game DS ROM.
This is in fact the first Death Note video game. ever. And the first in the trilogy of the Death Note NDS games.
A strategy game with 19 different playable characters, a multiplayer mode (which involves you playing/connecting with someone else with an NDS), a story mode going over the first half of Death Note's story, and a place to view extras, featuring the game's soundtrack and character art/sprites.
If you want an in-depth description of the games mechanics, I suggest you go to the deathnote.fandom.com page. For the best experience, go on firefox with ublock origin. works wonders.
I will cover other things though, as that wiki page doesn't have all the information it should and is a page that needs more.
Story Mode
Covers the Death Note story from the time L reveals himself to the Task Force to the time L dies. Story Mode also includes a bonus chapter at the end once you obtain 16 apples, which is a chapter about L finding out the 13 day rule in the Death Note was forged.Story Mode follows events where the Task Force plays the Kira Game to solve conflicts and further their knowledge about Kira and L, and to help with the investigation, in-universe. (or alternate universe where this happens, I shall say).
Another thing about story mode is that it gives you apples, which help you unlock characters and things once you get a certain amount of them. You can also unlock characters that appear in the story mode. Sorta like how in Smash Bros, a new challenger appears, and if you defeat that character, you unlock them and have them in your collection.
Singleplayer Mode
Basically a gamemode where you freely play the Kira Game by yourself, choosing which role to be, Kira, L, or any character they have unlocked from playing story mode. You can also choose your opponents.Multiplayer Mode
You and your homie play together in the Kira Game on seperate NDS's. Your playable characters are restricted to whoever is furthest in the game.Extras
Basically allows you to listen to the games soundtrack and see character art and sprites.Story Mode chapters!!!
Chapter 1
In chapter 1, it settles you in to how Death Note started; Light finding the notebook and using it for mass "divine judgement". L noticing and becoming hot on Light's heels in pursuit. Then, L introduces the Kira Game to the Task Force members after Matsuda proposes he feels Kira might be a sorrowful old man then a stuck up child (triggering the gameplay so the task force and L argue), and Matsuda asks how it all works. This leads the chapter to be a full crash course on the game's mechanics and how to play it.L also tells Matsuda he does in fact find Matsuda of worth in the Kira case, and assigns him to.... sweets duty.
Forgot to mention, you play as Kira in this one.
Chapter 2
Matsuda is pissed that L just makes him serve sweets to L all day, everyday, and wants to contribute more to the case. Everyone agrees L eats too much. L is like, "how dare you say such things! i am not fat!!1!!111!!!!1!!11!!! u just gotta use ur head!! ermmr to make u lose weight" and Matsuda says "ok well lets settle it in the KIRA GAMEEE!!" and Ls like. "hey matsuda. ur using ur head. nice."The ultimate objectives are to win as L, and set Matsuda's doubt (people suspecting him of being Kira) to zero. (so then Matsuda trusts you. yay!)
Then u attempt to win the game and all is well!
