Here is an overview of the game, via Strictly Limited Games:

Through the Gates of HellFire!

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 characters downloadable content (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.

Key Features

• 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!
