The PS4 version was played for this review. I have nowhere near the skill nor knowledge to review and recommend a fighter to those who specialize in the genre, and as such, this is mainly targeted to those interested in trying out a fighter for the first time.ĭeveloped by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo, Dead or Alive 6 was released on March 1st, 2019, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. As such, this review is presented from the view of a newcomer to the genre.
Dead or alive 6 review full#
That small taste was enough for me to look forward to trying out the full game.Īs I’ve mentioned in past reviews, this genre is the furthest from my forte. I had a chance to try it out for a bit at E3 last year, finding it surprisingly easy to pick up. While I’ve never played any of these entries, it’s this aspect of the franchise that pops into my head first when someone says “Dead or Alive.”ĭespite the sexy spinoff, DOA remains a famed name in the fighting game sphere. Outside of the fighter sphere, though, the franchise is probably better known for upping said sex appeal from a splash to a dump truck load with its Xtreme subseries, focusing solely on the female characters, putting them in bikinis, and letting you play some volleyball…amongst other things. Apparently, pitting sexy well-endowed women and buff chiseled men against each other in brutal fisticuffs is a winning formula.


The Dead or Alive franchise of fighting games is a series that markets itself on two things: fast and aggressive fighting and a splash of sex appeal.
