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.
