“The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is one of the best XBLA games we’ve seen so far this year.” -Planet Xbox 360
“Vampire Smile simply reasserts Ska Studios’ placement on the top-tier rung of Xbox Arcade developers.” -Official Xbox Magazine
“The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a brilliantly executed, whirling dervish of a game that all but demands to be ripped open and played to death.” -Joystiq
“The game is fluid and fast, and every single slash feels so satisfying.” -Cheat Code Central
@Seth I think that’s in co-op story mode only. Two players play as the dishwasher and yuki while the other two play as paka the cat and the crow that follows the dishwasher.
How do you get the 4 Player Online Co-op to work? or is it a typo for all the Microsoft details of this game? Can not get it to work. Thanks.
@Ledema Do you mean this song? http://music.ska-studios.com/track/perfect-nightmare
Okay so first off absolutely the dishwasher one and two, but i must know what is the song at the end of the trial for the dishwasher vampire smile???? I havent it anywhere and i must have it:D
The Dishwasher- vampire smile is the best XBL arcade game i have ever played, it has reinvented the platformer genre and it has me, my friends, and my girl friend hooked on it. Skastudios congradulations on such a wonderful achievement. keep making games and i will keep playing. one suggestion though, more weapon power ups and more difficulties, i was sad when i ran out of upgrades to buy, and when i ran out of difficulties… although the game gets an 8 out of 5 for me!
Is there a way to remove the arrow above your head in singleplayer?
Awsome game! Beat it with all achievements but there is a a huge glitch that needs to be fixed. I kno how to get get infinite food and thats a huge help in samurai mode so i think you should get to fixing that soon b4 everyone finds out.
Wow bought this game 2 days ago and been playing it co-op since the get-go. This game is truly great. I would give it a 10/10 but I have to give it a 9.9 because there a few bugs in the game. But other than the bugs I am really enjoying this game.
Just found this series today, how deeply does the second one continue off the story of the first? I can’t afford both right now. Could I start with this one or go for the the last game first?
beat the game OMG awesome stroy line will u continue it or does it end there
I would have paid triple for this masterpiece. At 800 micropoints, you’re practically giving it away.
Give Ska Studios even more of a reputation guys. Listen to their music. Also does anyone know about the OST for Vampire Smile? 😀 Please I would love it if someone had it! Dishwasher: VS is freaking kick ass and DISHTASTIC!
All your games are great.I love ZP2KX,
VAMPIRE SMILE IS INCREDIBLE!
Thank you so much!
You have far outdone yourself. I don’t think I have been this giddy to play a game in years, but I wake up, day after day since I purchased it, and have to burn through arcade again. Well done, there is not a enough praise in the world for this accomplishment.
Yeh the stories are really good. I saw IGNs review and they said there wasnt much of a story. I dont know what they were playing but it must have just been the trial version or something because the story has really developed from the 1st one and pulled together a lot of loose ends from the TD:DS. It was really good.
I just finished Yuki’s story, and I cannot even put in to words how awesome that was. Not only was it a brutally good time from start to finish, I actually felt something from the characters, which is more than I can say for most games these days. Spectacular game!
And yeah, where can we grab the ost? Those guitar riff challenges and end theme got me so pumped.
i forget… where i can find the ost ?
i bought it and pure délice (i’m french ) it’s a masterpiece !! thanks you !
one of those games where you stay up all night because it’s so awesome 🙂
Awesome game guys, two achievements away from full clear and still having a blast. Plan on getting a poster here in a sec!
I really, really want a VS shirt… any plans on getting bigger sizes in the future? I’m tall, 6’5” and Large just aren’t long enough unless I want to go mid-riff.
Which I don’t.
Still cant stop playing this game. Easily the best game this year ( 1000 x better than all the big games EA have churned out but thats still not doing this game justice because, other than Battlefield, EA games generally suck)
Co op is great fun. One thing I thought would be cool to put in is co op Dishwasher Challenge. Just going at it with no end in sight other than a glorious death. Too late to ask for that now though I guess haha.
At least I got 1 of my friends to buy it (most of them are narrow minded in life, I dont even know why Im friends with them haha, so they dont play arcade and indie games, THE FOOLS!) But after getting a few of them off CoD into Battlefield I have finally turned 1 to indie and arcade games and he loves it 🙂
Honestly, one of the best games I’ve ever played. An unforgettable action game =]
Will you be releasing the soundtrack for free like you did the first game?
Amazing game! Thank you!
It’s there any reason in special for the game not being available to purchase on the Portuguese XBLA marketplace?
It’s kind of silly that I can purchase gamerpics and similar items from the game just fine, but the actual game is nowhere to be seen, unlike, from what I gather, all other countries where the Live service is available.
Disappointing, to say the least, since I own the first game, and would like to purchase the second one too.
Anyone know what the ‘Brain Bead’ does?
@aop dizzy Ha yeh. I want a giant syringe on my avatar 😀
Got the game & all 3 gamer pic packs & the theme and love it all. You just need to let me put my avatar in some dishwasher gear I want that hat on my avatar with the bird and all the samurai gear
I really hope one of you guys stumbles into a Leprechaun orgy and steals all their gold while they are not looking so you can afford to keep making games…
Better yet, I’ll just tell everyone I know how awesome your game is and then make them buy it.
Hello, I bought The Dishwasher Vampire Smile yesterday right after work, and….
The Diswasher VS is a freaking awesome game; There is so many good ideas in it… After playing it, there is only one word in my mind:” WOW”!
Thank you so much Ska Studios. You made the best game on Xbox 360 LIve Arcade. The Dishwasher Vampire Smile is The Most Electrifying Game i ever played since the first Dishwasher.
@Ashibayai When in game, try signing out of your profile. Then, once signed out in-game, sign back in. This should fix your XBL connection issues.
Thanks for all the feedback! <3
A The Dishwasher Vampire Smile Postmortem?
been a long wait i remember seeing it as a random game on 04/01/09 on the market and got it just cause and fell in love ever since this game series is by far one of the best in game history and if more sequals come(even as a arcade game) it will stand the test of time
Redownload solves that issue too.
I keep trying to play online, I got two gold accounts on my xbox I tryed both. But whenever I go to play online it says “You must be signed in with a Xbox Live Enabled Gamer Profile”. Is it a redownload fix like W had to do?
I’ll try it, its not like its a huge download.
Also co op story, 50 levels of arcade single and co op and a seperate single player story for both of the characters as well as the dishwaher challenge?!! I swear Ive paid 1200 ms points for less. 800 points! Its almost better than christmas. Thankyou for not being like the rest of a greed filled industry. You guys are amazing.
This game is amazing. Its so fun to play and you have blown my mind with just the sheer size of the game. Co op and single player are great and it runs really well online. Its definitely up there in the arcade games with Castle Crashers.
The only tiny non gameplay related (gameplay is most important) complaints are that my friend and I went through the whole co op story last night and didnt really get any scores posted to the leaderboards throughout. Does it not count if you die? or if youre in a private session? :p
The move lists dont change to different weapons. I didnt even have conviction selected and it would only show conviction.
Is there some way of seeing explanations for the magic and things too? I couldnt find it so it may just be me (I was quite busy not looking and slashing away at armies of ninjas, robots and undead though). The beads were brilliant and added a lot of strategy to the game and their explanations were very useful. Took a little while to suss how to use the shotgun but we got there. 😀
Great game guys the ending was perfect one of the best bosses iv ever faced 😀 it was a tad to easy even on samurai i feel the first dishwasher was alot more challenging anyways you guys did a great job. don’t want to make you guys mad or anything but what happend to the person the game was in memory of?
Oh man… Just finished the first level, and the entire time I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. ATM, I would say this is one of the best games I’ve played in a good while, and that includes retail titles!
One thing is bugging me just a little though. I would like to see an option to remove the arrow above your head, as so far, I haven’t needed it to tell where I am on screen.
Fun game. Already beat it on Samurai. The 2nd to last level is evil though :/
Awesome! Even better than TD:DS, hows that possible? Great weapons and love the beads… adds a nice little rpg flare. Eyeball Bead? Money Bead? Lightning Bead? Yes please! Theres so many…WTF does the Pig Bead do? And can you PLEASE post the soundtrack to the game? I have the IMaed A Song… & all the TD:DS tracks and would love to have these as well. Keep up the good work (and awesome music), cant wait to see your next project.
Also, is there an option to slow down the comics?
Can’t read half of what’s showing up(maybe it’s because it’s in french)
Also, huge translation error on the description on xbox.com:
Déverrouillez The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile pour en savoir plus sur la sanglante vendetta de Yumi.
It’s Yuki, even if it sounds yumi 😀
Can you unlock combos like the 1st?
I miss the double Y combo on the Dishwasher sword.
@Dustin: Aight, I got to work now just by downloading it from XBLM without removing it. I guess I found a bug, LOL. Anyway, I’m gonna play this super-amazing-freakin’-awesome-stunning game. Did I already mention it’s a good game? Anyway, cya! 😀
Fantastic game. As a former indie developer, what you’ve accomplished here is completely astounding. I honestly didn’t expect it to be so much better than Dishwasher 1 (which I also loved), but this game seems much more fluid, fun, and violent. I absolutely love it; keep up this good work.
My only complaint is that it can be hard to know where to go (but after beating it once I have no issue) and your music is all starting to sound the same (I’m assuming you use the same Midi set on IMAGWZII as Dishwasher, and it shows).
These are extremely minor things. This is one of my favorite games of the year so far, and now I’ve got to convince a friend to buy it to co-op it. 😛
Keep it up! And congrats on all the good reviews that have been cropping up as well. 🙂
I must say the game is awesome =) i saw the last one and wanted to get it but passed for some reason.
The new one i bought today as soon as i got home from work and its a masterpiece.
I’ll order a t-shirt as well from you guys near the end of the month and it would be nice if you also had some Vinyl “toys” or other that one could buy (shipping overseas please 😉 )
Again, great job, and i am proud to have been able to spend some money towards this studio =)
@W Try deleting the game from your hard drive. Then, re-download the full version via the XBLM.
Ok, why am I always unlucky? I can’t unlock the full game. 🙁 Please connect to Xbox Live or sign in to an Xbox Live enabled gamer profile. Yeah, sure… whatever. Playing on Xbox Live for 6 years now. LOL 😛
YES! I have been playing the hell out of this all morning! Well done!
I bought it! Currently enjoying the hell out of it! Great job SKA!
I got the first Dishwasher and I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1, as soon as I saw Vampire Smile available I bought it and continue my support for Ska Studios
Saw this for the first time on Giant Bomb the other day – just bought it. Truly brilliant game massive congrats to you guys!
Congrats on another awesome game! Loving the achievement names again.
The game is freaking awesome. Better than the 1st so far and the first was awesome too:). I’ll try to give a review or something on here this weekend but i’ll post this much now:). Thanks again Silva for your hard work and i hope a bunch of people get this game.
I need more ms points
Cant wait to get home and buy.
i bought ^_^
Bought it as soon as I got home. Been a long wait but it’s finally here. I won’t be able to play until tommorow (Australian, time for sleep) but congrats at the 9.0 at Gamespot. Kevin VanOrd said it was his favourite game this year so far!
Got it already! Thanks for the 3 day early birthday present, guys! It’s amazing!
