    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.

    This is mostly an upgraded version of Dead or Alive 5, and not exactly a heavily upgraded one.

    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 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.

    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some nice ideas, unfortunatly fails to bring what we expect from a 2019 versus fighting game: namely, it's technicaly outdated, the TAG battle is absent from the game and it has a disappointing story mode.

    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… Full Review »

    unbelievable cringey story plus censorship with the topping (or main dish?) of years long overpriced DLCs = DOA6. Really is "DOA". Where isunbelievable cringey story plus censorship with the topping (or main dish?) of years long overpriced DLCs = DOA6. Really is "DOA". Where is the paradise mode and swimsuits? (DLC?) And you all know DOA6LR is coming on PS5 which make those who bought their DLCs a joke. And even the fan favorite Momiji has been dropped (or DLC?). Oh, yeah, not to mention the 1st SP is already more expensive than the fuxking game.… Full Review »

    Dead or Alive 6 is a perfect addition to the 3D roster of fighters. Next to Tekken and Soul Calibur you now have three separate identities inDead or Alive 6 is a perfect addition to the 3D roster of fighters. Next to Tekken and Soul Calibur you now have three separate identities in the FGC that feel like complete tournament level fighting games. This is the first time DOA6 has competed like that and is showing up at big tournaments for the first time at CEO. I appreciate the graphics a lot and love the fluid animations and gameplay. The soundtrack is stand out and there is tons of single player content for casuals.… Full Review »
