Deathsmiles I・II

Im delightfully reminded of CAVES genius game design after paying 30 bucks for a dlc and being punished for using souflee (windia's shot AND option on crack AND the best outfit in the game) by having to hear her Truly eargrating death cries over and over and over while practicing Death mode hades castle. This is natural balance at its finest love it!!! Real throwback to MushiFutari palm.. (My experience is based on everything but 1.1, i really dislike the streamlined option controls. Its what makes the game really stand out to me) This games strengths and weaknesses are well known by all at this point.. even with its level selection and scoring mechanics being a bit obtuse at first, after many years I stopped messing around and got a quick clear. Even with a technically unoptimal stage order it was pretty calm. Some may not like how backloaded it is in it's difficulty, but ive found its the most extreme in All level 3 runs, even despite suicide bullets appearing at the last 2 stages before gorge and hades castle, they may as well not exist if youre even somewhat competent with controlling and routing your option.\ But death mode stages.. my goodness I am Not joking every night after i practice either stage i see suicide bullets in mywaking dreams From a survival standpoint i do wish the insane difficulty of the last 2 stages on all lvl3 mode was spread out a little more, but regardless theyre some of the most bewildering stages ive ever attempted to route myself. It's so brilliantly challenging trying to maintain consistency when every moment a stray suicide bulet could fly past your option or sneak up on you from behind. Option control in general with it being inverted to your own movement is SUUUUUCH a fun skill to refine and it's mostly whats kept me playing despite how barebones the training options are. It really sucks seriously.. gorge and hades castle are so long and such a step up in intensity and it really hurts not having an option to start from halfway to train.................. and also F you most especially for the lack of a boss select. Luckily jitterbug and the TLB are more the final stretch after an evil suicide filled gauntlet of danmaku but its still really stupid to not include an option for it. Hopefully one day i can get the 1cc with the EX stage. For now its just the easier all lv3 route. Anyways its awesome play it and give cave all of your money because i want many many many more of thier gam,es to get official pc ports. I just got the lv3 1cc. Absolutely crushed it but i hate this game. No achievement and couldnt save a replay because i started the run by resetting stage 1. Tragic

10年以上前にXBOX360版を買って遊んでいたけど、 何度チャレンジしてもラスボスがどうしても倒せなかったのをよくおぼえている。 （たどりつくのもむずかしかった） steamでなんとかく見つけて買ってみて、あらためて気づいたことがあった。 「ライフが1減るとボムの数が復活する」 当時このシステムを理解していなかったので、とにかくボムを残したままゲームオーバーになっていた。 あと当時はフォレットが最強キャラだと言われていた記憶があるが、 これをローザ様に変更してみたら、まあ強い強い。 あらゆるボスがキツい攻撃を仕掛けてくる前に死んでくれる。 そしてローザ様の最大の強みとして、 「火山レベル3以外は、使い魔の位置をほとんど気にしないでレーザーを撃っているだけでいい」 というのがあると思う。 もうボスに使い魔をめり込ませるとか、そういうのをいっさい考えないでいい。 テキトーに敵弾を避けながらレーザーをボスに当たるようにしていればそれだけでよい。 森林1 ↓ 墓場1 ↓ 港町3 ↓ 沼地2（ライフ回復アイテムあり） ↓ 湖畔2 ↓ 火山3（ライフ回復アイテムあり） ↓ 最終面（ライフ回復アイテムあり） の順番でやったらライフ回復の機会も多く、クリアできるようになった。 先日ついにゲーセンでもクリアできた（カンタンなレベルだけを選べないアーケード版）。 それまでゲーセンでクリアできたゲームはファンタジーゾーンしかなかったので、すごくうれしかった。 現在50歳の自分でもふつうにクリアできるようになったので、横シューティングに興味がある人なら、 だれにでもオススメできると思う。

Deathsmiles is always a delight to come back to! May be one of the easiest shmups that CAVE has made, but "difficulty selection" per stage and extra optional stages allow you to go as crazy as you want to go, and the scoring system allows for creative solutions on how to keep improving your score over and over (although not personally fond of having to perfectly time refills after power-up mode ends to score optimally). On top of this, the game has a very cool soundtrack, an actually interesting story (yes, I said it), many alternative modes to play in, and comes with the (somewhat polarizing) sequel all in one package! I only wished the games did more to explain their scoring systems for all its modes without us having to resort to external resources. Also, if you're interested only in the first game, this is also available separately on Steam by a different publisher as of this writing (although I prefer the port included here). All in all, love it, recommend it!

$40 for a 20 minute game and well worth it

This game makes me feel magical!*~-..

lei is the cutest femboy ever its insane

Deathsmiles 2 has cutscenes where the volume disregards all in game settings AND the game's volume slider in Windows??? Great work, devs. Appreciate it. Only way I can see fixing this is by taking the WEBM files (yes, they're saved as WEBM in the game files) and editing them in davinci. What a joke.

此版本值得购买。它修复了处理落抽搐的问题，但Hyper数值有异常。 问题： 首先，这个游戏的处理落与Hyper消减速度应该是相匹配的。 街机版本，会出现接近幻灯片级别的处理落，它通常出现在开启Hyper或弹幕量极多的区域（最典型的沼泽大巨魔区域）,你可以理解为最高级别的处理落。同时，Hyper的消减速度降至最低级别。 steam版本，不会出现最高级别的处理落。但是，Hyper的消减速度会降至最低级别。 360版本，目测与steam一致。 直观一点，就是你的Hyper变多了大约100点，需要自己修正。
