LevelUp

"The ideal introduction to the bullet hell genre, Deathsmiles keeps every inch of its freshness and appeal to this day. The Steam release includes all six versions of the game...

CGMagazine

85 / 100
"Deathsmiles on PC is arguably the definitive version of the classic bullet hell, and worth every cent. Bullet heaven."

GameCrate

83 / 100
"If you love "shmup" shooters, or the "bullet hell" variety of game, then Deathsmiles should be right up your alley. What it lacks in stages and offering of modes, it makes up...

Easier than other Cave shmups, but super fun

olliematic
Verified purchase
The legendary Cave bullet hell awaits you in this great game that is actually easier to play and thus more accessible to beginners than other shmups from the same developer. You will still be faced with a screen full of deadly firearms and some funny opponents including a great cow. Recommended if you want to have some serious shmup fun.

It is relatively easy considering its developer, and fit PC screen (horizontal shooting). Character is cute, and variation of difficulty is wide. Overall, it is a good shoot'em up game, excluding a feeling that the character is a little too big and moving characters is a bit constrained.
