Introduction
The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a fantastic arcade game; you can really tell this game has had a heap of love poured into it. You'll find this little gem is also full of lots of gaming culture references. This coupled with great gameplay, unique storyline which carries on from the first game and multitude of game modes, and difficulty makes for one of the best arcade releases in years. This is a must buy if you consider yourself a gamer.
Playthrough 1
Play on the lowest difficulty setting to begin with as Samurai is locked until you beat the game at least once. Take note that although Co-op is possible at this point, some beads and most notably Bleep bloop! are not possible to attain in Co-op. You will have the choice two characters after you beat the prologue. It is advised you pick The Dishwasher as it will allow you unlock Bleep bloop! and will save you a boss fight on the Samurai Difficulty.
Pay attention to the I Did Not Use A FAQ achievement, it requires you to find collectibles. I have included a text guide to the location of all 30 Ghost Beads. It will help to get the collectibles on the first playthrough as they carry over to Samurai and effect various attributes of your character.
You'll need to pay attention to Bleep bloop! as well. A very unique set of tasks are involved. The majority of the other achievements will come through natural progression
Playthrough 2
You should have unlocked the Samurai difficulty by now and should have all of the Ghost Beads. This playthrough is all about the Samurai difficulty. Enemies will have more health and do more damage but if you have a handle on the mechanics of the game you shouldn't find this too hard. This cannot be done in Co-op.
Playthrough 3
This will be the playthrough for the arcade mode. Arcade isn’t that challenging but will take some time. There are 50 levels in Arcade. Remember to keep trying new strategies. You can do this in Co-op.
This step will also be clean up time if there any achievements you may have missed.
Conclusion
Although at first this game can be quite challenging, once you get to know the characters move set and the mechanics involved, coupled with this guide it is very possible unlock the full 200 in under 10 hours gameplay.
