"DeathSmiles is a thrilling ride from beginning to end. Its crazy japanese visual style combined with a mash up of rock and techno music (including a cameo from tubular bells) is a joy to behold. Combine that with intense shooter action, item upgrades, a bizarre storyline, and multiple endings, and you have one of the best shooters on the AppStore, joining it’s brothers and sisters from CAVE as the best of the best. "
-TouchGen
"This shmup can be accessible to greenhorns, or a rock-hard mettle test for danmaku veterans, meaning fans and curious onlookers should both jump right in."

Wish this developer would support games better

I’ve really enjoyed the Cave shooters but their titles keep falling off the store and I’m done paying $6 for a game the won’t be supported within a couple of updates, then another iteration pops up and I’m expected to fork over another $6. Great shooters but I won’t keep getting gouged.
Amazing port in general
SootiestGameo
The game itself is still high quality fun and overall a blast as its transition to mobile is perfected. My main worry is that the game might be very well unplayable in the coming years due to os updates on this smarthphone among others. I IMPLORE YOU, DEV TEAM PLEASE KEEP THIS GAME UPDATED COMPATIBILITY WISE!
A hidden gem of a game!

DEATHSMILES is my favorite all-time SHMUP and this version is bliss. I’ll buy anything CAVE co. publishes till the end of time. Perfectly suited for touch screen. 10/10
I love this game

Great characters/atmosphere, exciting gameplay. One of the best shmups for me. Really liked it. Hoping Deathsmiles 2 comes to ios. Thanks.:) Edit: May 21, 2020. Dear Cave, there is no longer any background music when we beat The final boss.:( Music returns during ending credits. I hope you can bring back the music for the ending scene. Thanks Cave.:)
Ios11 update!

Thanks for the ios11 update. It would be great if the same happens to bug princess.
iOS 11 compatibility added!! ?

CAVE makes the absolute best shoot-em up games, and this one is no exception. Deathsmiles, especially, is unique in that it’s a horizontal shooter that can fire in both directions. For the last few years these masterpieces were unplayable on modern iOS devices, but in a surprise, they added 64-bit compatibility recently. Do yourself a favor and pick up all of the CAVE shooters available - you won’t be disappointed! And, CAVE, PLEEEEAAASE update Espgaluda 1 & 2 as well!!
Welcome back CAVE

So glad you’ve updated your classic games! Can’t wait for the rest to be updated as well, and perhaps more releases! ??

Loved this game it was one of the best on my old iPod touch. Was so excited to see the new update to try on my iPhone X. Unfortunately they just put a frame on the sides but didn’t make it a control area so only the play area is usable for movement. Even without the actual game stretched out it would be fine but please let us use the entire screen to control. Save your cash and get One of caves Dodonpachi games. They stretched gamescreen and updated controls.
