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.

In the recent Gamescom trailer we were introduced to the new Forbidden Forest stage and got to take a closer look at Leifang and Hitomi gameplay.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.

Nevertheless, development looks like it’s going well. There might be some characters that don’t make it into the final game due to the development schedule. In terms of characters, we might be having some additional characters. He said there’s nothing planned right now, but that some characters may not be available at launch due to the tight development schedule.Īt this point we don’t have a roadmap. In the interview, we asked Shumbori if there was a firm roadmap for future content for DOA6. Leifang and Hitomi sparkle in latest DOA6 trailer Some Dead or Alive 6 Characters Could End Up As DLC
