Reception[]

In Japan, Famitsu gave the X360 version a score of 30 out of 40.^[3] Gamesradar rated the XBLA release a 3.5 out of 5 and commented that "despite everything it has going against it, Deathsmiles 2X stands out as one of the better shooters available in the Western market. It’s action-packed, easy to play, tough to master, and has a certain charm to it that makes you forgive its lackluster presentation."^[4]
