In between that, it’s a bunch of random cut scenes that are hard to piece together into a coherent story. The first few acts involve some of the fighters being recruited to fight in the Dead or Alive Tournament, and the second half of the game is about ninjas taking down an evil corporation.

Not-So-Captivating StorylineĪs for the story itself, there isn’t much noteworthy to be said.

The lady characters themselves are badass, but their ridiculous over-the-top sexualization wouldn’t be appropriate for some players, especially younger kids. This made the characters look that much more realistic, looking increasing war-torn as they battle each other. This game engine allowed for better graphics at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second. The current-gen (then, next-gen) consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One got upgraded graphics at with the new Soft Engine. In addition to the same 32 characters from Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, there are four new characters from the Virtua Fighter series and three new characters from the arcade version. The “Last Round” edition of Dead or Alive 5 has all the content from Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, but also adding in new hairstyles, costumes, characters, and fighting stages. It was first released back in February 2015, but still looks and feels like an excellent game over 6 years later. Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is an entertaining fighting game developed by Team Ninja and initially published by Koei Tecmo for arcade before making its way to PlayStation and Xbox.
