The story follows the events of DEAD OR ALIVE 5, focusing on 2 separate main narratives; namely, the battle between “Ninja and DOATEC” versus “M.I.S.T. lead by Donovan”, and the events that occur during the 6th DEAD OR ALIVE Tournament. New side story episodes will also be added for returning characters. Following the tradition, fights in DEAD OR ALIVE 6 are based on a triangle system: strikes beat throws, throws beat holds, and holds beat strikes. Landing a well-timed attack of the type that beats your opponent’s attack, like landing a strike when an opponent tries to throw, will result in a Hi Counter attack and do more damage. Expand

    The culmination of over two decades of refinement, resulting in fluid, accessible, and balanced combat mechanics. While the game’s lurid focus on flesh will divide opinion, it remains one of the most polished and fully-featured fighting games in recent years.

    Dead or Alive 6 is a decent fighting game. Although the DLC pricing model is annoyingly expensive, the existing content is enough to make you ignore it and devote yourself to its high-quality gameplay. As soon as lobbies are added, it would be a very good thing for all the fighters out there.

    It perhaps plays things a little safe, but mechanically Dead or Alive 6 is up there with the best fighting games currently available.

    Dead or Alive 6 uses reliable mechanics while adding new twists to freshen up the gameplay. Combat is fluid, fun, and exciting, yet, overall, it's not without glaring flaws.

    An easy to pick up fighting game whose creators know exactly what their audience wants. At the same time, it will hardly surprise long-time fans.

    Dead or Alive 6, with its good character roster and some nice ideas, unfortunatly fails to bring what we expect from a 2019 versus fighting game: namely, it's technicaly outdated, the TAG battle is absent from the game and it has a disappointing story mode.
  7. 50
    It looks better than its predecessor, but content-wise its rather stingy and the story needs work, dampening excitement for this title.

    Great game, but a bit lacking in terms of fanservice compared to previous entries. Can't wait for Dead or Alive Extreme 4 with VR on PC forGreat game, but a bit lacking in terms of fanservice compared to previous entries. Can't wait for Dead or Alive Extreme 4 with VR on PC for the obvious mods everyone should be using. Not sure why people even care about the expensive costumes, it's not even required to play and you get an initial roster of over twenty characters to play with. Only drawback is the unpredictable AI. Sometimes at max difficulty, the AI does nothing and will get destroyed by simply mashing a single button and at other times, low difficulty AI will counter most of your attacks and be on steroids. A bit too random if you ask me. Oh yeah, and the awful costume unlocking, but you can use Cheat Engine or mods to remedy that lol Expand

    Pretty visuals and combat is solid. Otherwise, not particularly interesting fighting game.

    This game fails with the fans, lack of game modes, extras like private paradise, and boring costumes because the west can't handle hot women.This game fails with the fans, lack of game modes, extras like private paradise, and boring costumes because the west can't handle hot women.
    The best things are the new characters and the graphs. Other than that was very disappointing.
    I feel bad for the new characters.

    - Changed costumes to satisfy people that can't handle a woman in skimpy costumes;
    - Changed Kasumi default costume ( put back later when saw the sh*t);
    - Censored Rachel fiend costume;
    -Tag mode removed
    -Very poor fan service
    -Private paradise movies removed
    -DLCs expensive
