User Reviews

Deathsmiles is praised for its solid shmup gameplay, accessible controls, strong visuals and music, and excellent mobile/touch optimization. However, multiple reviews cite drawbacks including lack of controller support, ongoing iOS compatibility concerns (especially with iOS 11+), and UI/touch issues on newer devices like the iPhone X, along with worries about ongoing updates and repurchasing. Overall, it remains a beloved Cave shooter when kept up-to-date, but ongoing support is a common point of contention.

Pros

Easy-to-learn controls with fun, varied characters and solid shmup gameplay.
Excellent visuals and soundtrack with strong replay value and extra content.
Well-optimized for mobile/touch screens, offering a seamless iOS experience.
64-bit compatibility and updates bring the game to modern iOS versions.
Beloved by fans and regarded as a top-tier shmup with lasting appeal.

Cons

Lack of controller support (e.g., Backbone) on iOS.
Ongoing iOS compatibility issues; not working on iOS 11+ without updates.
UI/touch-area problems on newer devices (e.g., iPhone X) and controls not using the full screen.
Concerns about ongoing updates and having to repurchase or pay for new versions.

I enjoy playing games with a controller on iPad. Being able to play these games with the controller would be amazing but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any functionality for it.
