This new system adds considerable flair to the already-awesome fights you’ll experience in DOA6. These Break moves can also be countered with a Break Guard powered by that same blue meter. This meter fuels the Break Blow, a powerful one-button attack, or you can mash that button to trigger Fatal Rush delivering massive damage and usually sending your opponent across the arena. New to the fight system is the Break Gauge that slowly fills as you dish out or take damage. A dedicated Training mode is available in the main menu, but you can also launch a character-specific training simulator for any current character during the story. It’s also worth mentioning the awesome instructional modes that will ease newcomers into the game or offer a refresher course to veterans. It’s a simple yet rewarding combat system that encourages you to learn its intricacies rather than just mash the controller. Throws can counter a hold, punches and kicks can counter a throw, and holds can counter a punch or a kick. Once you learn the hierarchy of the moves the fighting becomes much more enjoyable. The nice thing about those combos is that the shoulder buttons are mapped to those critical moves, so you aren’t forced to make awkward two-button presses in the heat of combat. The fight engine is based on basic punch, kick, hold, and throw moves with multi-button combos of those basic inputs. Dead or Alive 6 is just as approachable as ever, with a great control scheme that allows casual players to mash their way to victory and seasoned pros to explore a multi-faceted moves list tailored to each of the 27 fighters, including two new additions to the line-up. I just find it somewhat ludicrous that a DLC exists that costs 150% of the initial game purchase and much of the content in the DLC isn’t even available yet – it will slowly be trickled out over the next four months.įor those here for the fighting and not the fashion there is plenty of fantastic content waiting for you in the core game. Yes, it’s expensive yes, it is totally unnecessary to your completion of enjoyment of the game, and yes, there are hundreds of people with more money than fashion sense that will throw their money at Koei Tecmo…no judgement…well, maybe a little. If you add up all the DLC for DOA5 you’d spend just shy of $1,300 to possess every last character and costume, so nobody should be shocked that there is already a $93 DLC bundle available for DOA6 packed with 62 costumes and two new characters. “ Nice weather we’re having…how’s your dad…wanna FIGHT!?” Not all is squeaky clean though, as there are still several girls and outfits that are far from practical, but the truly sexualized outfits have been locked behind a paywall of either in-game costume parts or the first of many super-sized DLC packs.įans of the franchise should be no stranger to the glut of DLC available for Dead or Alive. While the female cast still looks like they stepped off the set of a Russ Meyer film, the girls (and women) are now much more appropriately dressed for those impromptu fights that awkwardly break out, even during casual conversations in the story. Thanks also for this theme: /u/Cryptonaut for /r/Naut theme and /u/postpics for /r/Click pop-out addon and /u/dinghow123 for cover art and the sub Reddit icon.The sexy cast of DOA is back for their sixth official installment in the multi-generational fighting game, but just how does this aging franchise hold up and compare to its competition after twenty years? Dead or Alive is mostly known for its highly sexualized content – I still remember the commercial for Dead or Alive 3 where two guys are listing the reasons they love the game and the best feature for one of the guys is that “she kicks high”, referencing the numerous “panty peeks” that, along with gravity-defying boob physics, have become synonymous with the franchise.ĭead or Alive 6 has somehow matured evolving beyond its sophomoric visual titillation to create a highly entertaining and approachable fighting game.Big thanks to our users for their contributions, in particular /u/I_am_momo, /u/MaryJaneJuana and /u/lt_toastyfishpant. No more patches will release after ver.1.22.Added special VO to Hi Counter Holds for Mila, Rig, Diego, NiCO, Raidou, and Kula.Added new costumes: High Society Costumes.
