Deathsmiles has an occult based theme and features heavy use of gothic and Halloween style imagery. A lot of the character designs are based on mythological beasts and monsters, such as the Cyclops, the Grim Reaper, trolls and dragons. The game takes place in a variety of horror-inspired locations such as a graveyard, a haunted forest, and a subterranean cave complete with lava geysers.

MBL has the same controls as the original. For reference:

Shot (Tap A or Tap B) – Tap A to fire left. Tap B to fire right.
Laser (Hold A or Hold B) – Hold A or B to fire a stronger shot. Your option also fires their projectile when using laser.
Lock shot (A+B) – Lock on to enemies by having them enter the target area around your character or your option.
Power up (A+B) – Initiates power ups when item counter is at a certain value.
Bomb (C) – Clears the screen of bullets and SOME enemies.

Extends are given at 50,000,000 and 300,000,000.

-A half of damage is received if you touch an enemy, environmental element, bosses, or a boss's object (ex. Whroon's apples, flying rocks in volcano, ect...).
-One life is lost if you get hit by a bullet or a suicide bullet.

New Character: Sakura

Age: 15
Height: 5’1”
Blood type: AB
Born in England

Sakura is now a character you can choose. She has a separate story in which she desperately tries to stop her father, Jitterbug, in opening the portal to the real world. She has two options instead of one. Both of the options move and shoot opposite of your movements.

-Shot: Sakura fires 3 rows of bullets that flare out wide and her options fires a stream of bullets. Options are not stationary when moving.
-Laser: Sakura fires 3 rows of bullets and becomes concentrated. Her options fire a star which on impact becomes a seal which "sticks" to the enemy. Options are locked in place when in laser.
-Lock: A target area forms around the two options and are locked in place when moving.

In the ending sequence, you have two options:
-Leave Gilverado, her friends, and her dying mother and start a massive business empire with Jitterbug.
-Refuse to go with her father and stay with her mother and friends.
Choose any ending you want, but none of the options are going to affect your score.
If you choose to stay in Gilverado, wait for the credits to end and you can see a cutscene that bridges the gap between Deathsmiles and Deathsmiles II.

The characters seem to be slightly rebalanced - Windia is beefed up a bit and Rosa is slightly toned down. Overall it all feels better balanced compared to DS.

A new stage called Ice palace has been added to the game. It is considered an extra stage along with Canyon.

Ozier is the stage's boss. His score values are:
1st Phase at default rank - 500,000
2nd Phase at default rank - 500,000
1st Phase at lvl999 rank - 5,000,000
2nd Phase at lvl999 rank - 5,000,000

A new rank level 999 was added to rank selection. It is the hardest and highest rank you can play in MBL. You are able to choose lvl999 as many times as you want. Lvl999 includes some aesthetic changes, different bullet patterns, and scoring opportunities.

When you are in lvl999, you are automatically in “death mode.” However, it is different from lvl3 death mode. Enemy and boss bullet patterns are much denser and faster. There are less suicide bullets, but their speed is greatly increased. For the first six stages, lvl999 rank can be manually chosen.

Minimum requirements to unlock lvl999 the EX stages, castle, and ballroom is to do 4 out of the 6 beginning stages at lvl999. You must maintain a no miss during all 4-1, 4-2, 5-1, 5-2 stages to be at lvl999. For instance, if you do the Ice Palace and Canyon both at lvl999 and you lost a life during Canyon, the castle and ballroom stage will default to lvl3.

Item counter is represented as a large pulsing number on the bottom left corner of the game screen. The value of the counter is 0-1000. This counter can be filled up by destroying enemies and collecting the items.
This value will not decrease during the stage, but will decrease during boss fights. A general rule is the higher the stage rank, the faster your overall counter will decrease.
Both Item and Overall counters will decrease by 30% if a life is lost. The number is not rounded up to the nearest whole number. In other words, 191.8 is 191
It can be considered that each counter has a “Fever Mode,” but associate the true “Fever Mode” to the overall counter.
When your counter is at 1000, enemies will produce Gold Crowns. Typically they produce one crown.
When your Overall counter is maxed out at 100000, Fever Mode will initiate and enemies will produce approximately 4-15 times as much Gold Crowns.

The Game support 2 players co-op.
