Arcade, dynamic action graphics with two-dimensional graphics created by Cave studio. In the game we play one of the four available angels and start a real demons' pogrom. The whole was presented in manga style. The non-linearity of the plot and audiovisual effects make this seemingly simple game quite interesting.

Deathsmiles Description

Enter the world of Gilverado, a kingdom plagued by hideous monsters and tortured souls. Choose from four angels with unique demonic familiars and battle against a storm of enemies pouring out of Hell’s gates! Fight your way out of tight spots as you are surrounded by enemy units and bullets from both sides of the screen. The unique left/right shooting mechanic of Deathsmiles will keep you on your toes as you dodge and weave through complex enemy fire, beautifully crafted by the modern masters of shmups, CAVE.
