GameXplain Writes: "There’s an old saying don’t judge a book by its cover. Well, in this case that actually may help (who doesn’t love a Loli?), but in all honesty the likes of the 2D shooter has mostly gone the way of the dodo. When browsing covers on shelves nowadays, it’s quite apparent that American gamers are only looking for one big 3D-action orgy after the next. A genre that helped turn Americans into gamers has evolved into a conglomeration of headshots and cover fire. Just like how Capcom revitalized the 2D fighting genre last year with Street Fighter 4, Aksys Games -- with the help of the maniac shooter masterminds at CAVE -- have potentially unleashed the quintessential 2D shooter equivalent to Capcom’s fighting achievement with Deathsmiles."
"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.
