One is actually a returning character, Raidou, who was previously featured as a boss character. The release features series regulars, guest characters from Virtua Fighter and Ninja Gaiden, and two new fighter exclusive to this release. And once you are done messing around, there is a robust training mode included so that you can really learn how to use your chosen combatant.Īs mentioned before, there are plenty of fighters for players to choose from in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. I think this simplicity is good for drawing in casual fans who may have been intimidated by some of the more complex brawlers out there. Every fighting game lets players be able to button mash to some extent, but only in Dead or Alive does button mashing feel as good as it does here. While it may not have the deep fighting engine of the likes of Gulity Gear or Virtua Fighter, the simplicity of it is what drew me to the franchise in the first place. The story doesn’t appear to take itself too seriously, which I appreciate in something as ridiculous as Dead or Alive. Moments like Ryu Hayabusa sending his bird to drop off a message, despite the intended recipient being quite far away, will never not be funny to me. However, things are never really fully explained for a majority of the characters, and what does get explained is done so in incredibly odd ways.

It tries to go for the Arrested Development season 4 style of plotting by showing character-specific vignettes at one time, and then filling in the details later on. There’s no way my description of the story could ever do justice to how hilarious and crazy this thing is though. While that’s going on, Kasumi is searching for her evil clone, while she herself is being hunted by not only Hayate and Ayane, but also Bayman. Set two years after the events of Dead or Alive 4, Helena and the reformed DOATEC are once again planning on hosting the Dead or Alive tournament. As always with the franchise, the main storyline of Last Round can be a little hard to follow if you are unfamiliar with the series’ lore.
