DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours - Deathsmiles: A Gothic Horror Shooter with Space Fish

DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours - Deathsmiles is a downloadable content (DLC) for the base game DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours, a horizontal scrolling shooter that features giant robotic fish as enemies. The DLC adds a new ship, Windia, and her owl-familiar Hoo, from the gothic horror shooter Deathsmiles by CAVE. The DLC also adds three special stages, 10 newly arranged stages, and 10 stages from the CS mode of the base game.

The DLC is available on Steam for $4.99 and requires the base game to play. It was released on December 14, 2016 by KOMODO, a publisher of Japanese indie games. The DLC has received positive reviews from users and critics, who praised its gameplay, graphics, music, and amount of content.

The gameplay of the DLC is similar to the base game, but with some differences. Windia can fire her main gun in both directions, and use her targeting magic to lock on enemies and shoot them with homing bullets. Hoo acts as a sub-shot that follows Windia and fires at nearby enemies. Windia can also use her burst weapon, which is a powerful laser that can destroy enemies and certain bullets. The burst weapon can be charged by shooting enemies and collecting skulls and crowns that they drop.

The graphics of the DLC are colorful and detailed, with a mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements. The backgrounds are varied and include space stations, castles, forests, and caves. The enemies are mostly fish-themed robots, but also include bats, spiders, skeletons, and witches. The bosses are huge and impressive, with multiple phases and attacks. The DLC also features remix tracks by WASi303, a composer who has worked on other shooters such as Psyvariar and Triangle Shmups Collection.

The DLC is a must-have for fans of Darius and Deathsmiles, as it offers a unique crossover between two classic shooter franchises. It is also a great addition for anyone who enjoys challenging and fun shooters with tons of content and replay value.

One of the highlights of the DLC is the special stages, which are designed specifically for Windia and Hoo. These stages are based on the stages from Deathsmiles, and feature enemies and bosses from that game. The stages are also more difficult than the regular stages, and require skillful use of Windia's abilities to survive. The special stages also have their own leaderboards, where players can compete for the best scores using Windia and Hoo.

Another feature of the DLC is the CAVE pack, which contains 10 newly arranged stages that include three boss fights from other CAVE shooters. These stages are inspired by games such as DoDonPachi, Mushihimesama, and Espgaluda. The CAVE pack also has its own leaderboards, where players can use any ship from the base game or the DLC to challenge themselves. The CAVE pack is a tribute to one of the most influential developers of the shooter genre, and a treat for fans of their games.

The DLC also includes 10 stages from the CS mode of the base game, which is a mode that features a story and branching paths. The CS mode stages are different from the arcade mode stages, and have more variety and surprises. The CS mode stages also have different endings depending on the choices made by the player. The DLC allows players to use Windia and Hoo in the CS mode stages, and see how they fit into the story of Darius.
