Deathsmiles II: Makai no Merry Christmas is a 2009 bullet hell game by Cave. It is the third Cave shoot 'em up to be played using a horizontally-oriented monitor (preceded by Progear and the original Deathsmiles). Deathsmiles II is also the first CAVE arcade game to use polygons instead of their traditional sprites for graphics. A compilation of Deathsmiles I and Deathsmiles II was released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in Japan in December 2021 and later for Microsoft Windows in June 2022.
