In some character’s branches, you can meet at a certain place, then if you play the other character’s branch the fight may happen elsewhere. While all the branches are supposed to be happening at the same time, and some connect as characters run into each other, sometimes it can be goofy and confusing. It has an eight-chapter story mode that has separate branches for most of the characters in the roster. Now that we’ve covered the changes for the veterans of the series, let’s talk about the game in general for everyone else by first looking at the single player.įor a fighting game, Dead or Alive 6 has plenty of single player content. This type of mechanic is not new to the fighting game genre, but it is a nice touch that blends well into the fast-paced, over the top action that the game is known for. Special attacks in the form of Break Blows can be used to do massive damage to opponents in spectacular finishing-move fashion, while Break Holds can be used at almost any point during an enemy combo to escape and deal a small amount of damage, provided you have enough Break Gauge to spare. It is called the Break Gauge and it can be used both offensively and defensively.
DEAD OR ALIVE 6 DELUXE EDITION CONTENT SERIES
Finally, DOA 6 has also included a special meter for the first time in the series history. To me, it doesn’t feel like you need machine-like reaction times to successfully get yourself out of a bind. The holds system also feels more responsive this time around. Every character has their own fighting style, but overall the whole roster is more balanced. The developers have done a great job at making sure that no one character is severely overpowered. Game-play itself has also changed a bit with the new release. Default costumes for female characters are much more sensible this time around, although there are some unlockable outfits that get more into the old style of clothes. The developers, Team Ninja, have talked in the past about changing this, and in a way they have. On all the past DOA games the female roster has been notoriously over-sexualized by their risqué attire. While Nyotengu and Phase 4 are not new to the series, this is the first time they have been locked behind a paywall, which some may find annoying.Īlong with the new characters are new outfits, as well as hair and accessories. Lastly, Phase 4 is only available with the Digital Deluxe edition and is a clone of Kasumi with a very similar fighting style and move set. Nyotengu a female character with wings, who deals damage through aerial strikes and devastating throws is available as the pre-order bonus and for purchase on PSN, Xbox Live, and Steam. There are also two pre-order bonus characters, one of which is purchasable in online stores while the other is only available in the Deluxe Edition at the moment. Diego is a medium build male character who uses a vicious street-fighting move set to beat his foes into submission. NiCo is a smaller female character who is agile, and she attacks with small bolts of electricity along with her fists. NiCo and Diego are the new characters introduced in the game. Now along with two new additions to the roster, there are some changes in Dead or Alive 6 we should look at first. I will be reviewing the PlayStation 4 edition of the game, and we will be doing a separate review of the Xbox One version and then a comparison of the two. While I did not play the first three installments of Dead or Alive, I have loved the series since the fourth game, and now I am excited to play and review the latest release in the franchise.
