Hello everyone hows it going today i bring you Dead or Alive 6 Last Round for the PS5 but first a MASSIVE thank you to the legendary Koei Tecmo for sending me a review copy it was greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it.
Now i havent played a fighting game in years so I was shocked when I got this game sent to me as a game reviewer to be recognized and given the chance by a company like Koei Tecmo is insane but that aside onto the game.
The last dead or alive game I played was the beach volleyball one for the Xbox 360 fighting games weren’t my jam since the bloody roar series died out so I went into this game as a complete noob and just enjoyed my time with it.
Now there’s a story mode not in the traditional arcade sense but a separate story that expands in a web as you progress getting a chance to experience different characters view points which all seem to end with the start of the Dead or Alive tournament.
The game has a handful of different modes from arcade to training to online mode now i admit i stayed far away from online ill leave that to the experts i admit i didnt wanna cry from the ass whooping i woulda gotten had i jumped in there, training mode is the best you get to take each character for a spin till you find the one you mesh with and when you have over 20 characters to choose from there will be meshing, and arcade is just the simple arcade battles against the computer or couch co op with your friends and family.
The game has 15 different maps for you to fight on and each map has different areas that you burst into with landing some hard hits on your opponents, there’s also a leader board now since I was on PS5 i assume the leaderboard only shows PS5 players which I feel is a missed opportunity cause theres nothing better then competition amongst players wanting to reach that top spot.
The graphics were actually nice between cinematic takes and fight scenes there was never a change it looked beautiful the whole way. I dont know if the game offers crossplay between consoles and pc which it might not some would probably say pc would have an advantage over consoles but thats just my 2 cents.
I didnt have any issues during my play time the game played solid combat was fluid and fun and the story was interesting to watch and play through I didnt experience stutters or delays which in fighting games is important online could be another story but I didnt jump online just local single player.
The only negative thing I can say is this game has a ton of micro transactions in the form of costumes for the characters which isnt a huge deal but prices are a bit on the expensive side for my taste.
All in all I enjoyed my time with dead or alive 6 last round and I hope to work with koei tecmo again in the future again huge thank you for sending me a review copy i greatly appreciate it I hope you all have a good time take care and game on.
