It’s particularly frustrating to see Last Round struggle in terms of raw performance when it has no problem marketing its downloadable content via an advertisement almost as big as the game’s main menu. It’s particularly frustrating to see Last Round struggle in terms of raw performance when it has no problem marketing its DLC. I also found myself turning online services off, as it would occasionally cause a small, one-frame hiccup while the game automatically searched for an online opponent – not a game-breaking experience, but annoying and frequent enough to note. I played on Xbox One, but have heard similar complaints from those playing on PS4.

On the other, I experienced seven hard crashes over the course of four days, four of which happened within the span of an hour. On one hand, the graphical updates are noticeable, and the lack of competition on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gives Team Ninja a big chance to win over new fans.

Last Round marks the DOA series’ first expansion onto current-gen consoles both a blessing and a curse. The result is a game that feels stretched to its limits and lacking in new ideas and content. Even the most significant additions, characters Raidou and Honoka, borrow many of their moves from existing fighters. Last Round adds a lot of frills in the form of costumes and aesthetic changes, but otherwise remains largely the same game. The rub is that Combo Bursts, Power Blows, silky smooth combat, and absurd level transitions are all things that could have been said about the original Dead or Alive 5, back in 2012.

Levels too are full of personality my personal favorite being the rooftop fight that can send an opponent swan-diving straight into an exploding semi-truck hundreds of feet below. Characters are obscenely pretty, and even when they get covered in sweat and grime, still impress in the visuals department.

The fast-paced back-and-forth between ninjas, pro wrestlers, assassins, schoolgirls, and leather-clad Amazonian dominatrixes is highly entertaining thanks to the fluid rock-paper-scissors style combat, where strikes beat throws, throws beat counters, and counters beat strikes. Combo Bursts and Power Blows, in addition to the series’ trademark countering system and multi-tiered stages, give fights another layer of strategy and keep matches from becoming too one-sided.įights are also just as enjoyable as ever to watch. Sure, you can button mash your way through some of the easier AI difficulty levels, but only those who take the time to practice and learn a character’s moveset and rhythm get to unlock their full potential. Last Round is accessible to newbies thanks to its smooth flow of combat while simultaneously enticing to fighting game veterans thanks to being the most technical, least-forgiving of the series. Things aren’t all style and no substance, however. The point is, there’s a certain crowd that Dead or Alive courts, and it isn’t always the type you introduce to your family and friends. Yeesh, I’d better stop that paragraph right there before Hollywood adapts it into a multi-million dollar Valentine’s Day movie.

Whether that’s good, bad, or inconsequential to you depends on how comfortable you are with watching things like a 4-foot 10-inch, 89-pound girl who looks no older than 14 fight with her buttcheeks hanging out or a lose animation where a character drops to her knees in straddle position, her ample chest heaving as she lightly moans and pants with heavy breath.ĭead or Alive 5: Last Round is the series at its most blatant, most in-your-face.

There’s a new engine running that is dedicated to making skin appear softer and move more realistically, and I don’t think I need to point out which pieces of skin we’re talking about here. And while it’s true that, essentially being a re-release, Last Round doesn’t exactly need to reinvent anything, it’s nonetheless disappointing how dated the game can feel, and how out-of-order its priorities appear.ĭead or Alive has always been known for its ludicrously-proportioned and sexualized female cast, but Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is the series at its most blatant, most in-your-face.

Team Ninja’s fighter has seen multiple tweaks, character additions, and a bevy of costumes since then, but the ebb and flow of combat remains largely unchanged.
