Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is the definitive edition of this entry to the fighting game with the full roster and updated graphics. However, the PC port lacks many of the key features such as online multiplayer and inferior graphics to the console editions, so purchase with caution.

Critic Reviews for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round
Dead or Alive: Last Round doesn't have the contortionist special moves required to master its Street Fighter rival, making this the more immediately accessible game by some margin. But neither does it have the mascots of Capcom's stable (it's telling, perhaps, that the most recognisable characters here are borrowed from Ninja Gaiden and Virtua Fighter). But at its deeper levels, it's an equally engaging and challenging proposition as its rivals, a quick tempo test of dexterity and reaction that, at its best, transcends the mildly grotty aspects for which it is best known.
Though the novelty has worn off, the action-packed battles remain among the most enjoyable and accessible in the fighting scene
If you're still playing Dead or Alive 5 after three years on the market and have the desire to continue on a new set of consoles, then the price of admission shouldn't mean much to you. Even then, it's difficult to recommend only because of how little Team Ninja has added to the overall experience.
"Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate" is a gorgeous and fun fighting game with multiple characters and plenty of unlockable content.
I'm blown away by how well thought out the base design in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is. The designers stuck with a traditional, no-thrills, rock/paper/scissor foundation that provides for depth and complexity to evolve on the player's part.
A solid, extremely accessible fighting game, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is certainly worth adding to your collection if you're a fan of the genre.
For those who never purchased Ultimate (such as myself), then Last Round is definitely worth the purchase.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round amounts to the definitive version of a game released back in 2012, which is both a good and a bad thing.
