Deathsmiles I - II coming to Switch and PS4

Written by Ross Locksley on 05 Nov 2021



The cult CAVE shooter, Deathsmiles I-II, is coming to Nintendo Switch and PS4 in Limited and Collectors editions courtesy of Strictly Limited Games

Available from November 7th, the game has become a collectors piece on systems like the Xbox 360 (for which I have the Japanese collectors edition!) and now you have the chance to own four flavours of CAVE shooting goodness.

From the Press Release:

Through the Gates of HellFire!

Deathsmiles

With its heavily influenced occult and gothic horror presentation, Deathsmiles’ ambient, anime styled and sinister presentation is already very much venerated. The Strictly Limited Games editions bring a rich package of Deathsmiles action to your home console, including:

  • Deathsmiles
  • Mega Black Label Edition
  • Deathsmiles II
  • Gothic wa Mahou Otome DLC (on cartridge/disc)

Enter the world of Gilverado, a kingdom plagued by hideous monsters and tortured souls. Players can select from several different angels with unique powers and battle against a storm of enemies pouring out of Hell’s gates! As with the best of shooters, skill, hand to eye coordination, along with total concentration are essential as you fight your way out of tight spots when you are surrounded by enemy units and bullets from both sides of the screen. Deathsmiles I・II will keep you on your toes as you dodge and weave through complex enemy fire, beautifully crafted by the modern masters of shmup. 

  • Horizontally scrolling bullet-hell madness across multiple game modes!
  • Spooky good fun! Battle ghosts, demons, man-eating plants, and giant cattle! You can even take on demon Santa!
  • Six (four in Deathsmiles) playable angels to choose from, each with their own faithful familiars.
  • Play a great variety of gothic-themed stages in the order of your choosing.
  • Supports two-player local cooperative play. Banish the forces of Hell together!
