Deathsmiles I & II bringing Goth Lolita shmup shenanigans to PC

Summer Shmuppin’

Recommended Videos

Fine news for shmup fans this Monday morning, as City Connection that goth shooter double-pack Deathsmiles I & II will be seeing a PC port this coming summer. Originally developed by shmup masters Cave and fine-tuned by Zerodiv, the rerelease hit console platforms back in 2021.

Deathsmiles I & II, as the title suggests, bundles the original 2007 shmup and its great 2009 sequel, boosted with a fresh round of balance checks and bug tweaks, alongside new additions such as score attack leaderboards and a full training mode. The release also included support for multiple languages, making matters a little easier for import fans, and even featured crossover characters from Cave’s mobile release Gothic wa Mahou Otome.

Much like the console edition, fans can expect Deathsmiles I & II to contain the series’ three main releases: Deathsmiles, the enhanced Deathsmiles Mega Black Label, and the hilariously monikered Deathsmiles IIX Merry Christmas in Hell. So dig out your best frilly dress, pull on your white stockings, and pol▨ish up those two-sizes-too-big clompy shoes, as the mischievous maidens are preparing to take to the skies for one more round ꦅof bullet hell chaos.

Deathsmiles I & II will launch this summer on PC. It is available no🌠w on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintend💞o Switch.
