Deathsmiles is the start of a new direction for Cave. This horizontally scrolling shooter will be the first Cave shoot 'em up to leave Japan and it's their first localized project. Siliconera got in touch with Cave to discuss the designing Deathsmiles and what their overseas plans are.
"The Germany-based video game publisher Strictly Limited Games and the Japan-based game developer/publisher City Connection, are today very happy and excited to announce that Cave's classic arcade shmup "Deathsmiles I- II" is getting a Limited and Collector’s Edition to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch via the Strictly Limited Games Shop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I don't care for the series but as a collector of Limited Edition sets, I love that arrangement.
Shooting hordes of enemy forces while weaving through clouds of projectiles is as fun as it's always been. Very few consoles have a library of shmups as impressive as Xbox 360's so let's take a look at the 10 best shooters for Microsoft's sophomore console.
COG writes - A few may be turned off by its art style but Deathsmiles is every bullet hell fan's dream of a game.
