Dead or Alive 6 Reviews
Even without the series' signature tag mode, Dead or Alive 6 is still a blast to play with a large roster of characters and enjoyable game modes like story and the brand new DOA Quest. The tantalizing nature of DOA may show a little restraint as well, but it is still ever present in Dead or Alive 6 for those that are looking for it.
Dead or Alive 6 is a great entry in the franchise that refines many elements while expanding the general roster.
If you’re like me though, prepare to just spam all the buttons hoping for the best, because Dead or Alive is back in business!
Dead or Alive 6's main draw comes from its simple, yet complex combat system that everyone can try for themselves in the free Core Fighters edition. Too bad every fighting game fan is already focusing on Mortal Kombat 11.

Gorgeous, fun, and fair, it also stands out with its perfectly built online mode and great character roster.
Despite my few beefs with the game, if you are a fan of the series Dead or Alive 6 is a must own title for you at the $59.99 price tag. The game is still very sexy with tons of jiggle and service fans have come to know and love. The fighting is still deep and fun like always, and honestly I feel like the game just simply plays so much better than the previous one did. I can pull off moves and combos here easily that I had a much harder time pulling off last time around. If you’ve always been interested in fighting games but thought they were too complex for you to enjoy I think you should give this one a shot. The game is so well made and easy to pick up that I think anyone could hop right in here and have some fun.
Dead or Alive 6 may have put a further grind into certain unlockables but still delivers a fast paced and highly entertaining combat system that fans of the series as well as newcomers can love.
DOA6 is a fun game and a great effort on the part of Koei Tecmo to rebrand their franchise. Overall, they succeeded, however, there are enough tiny flaws here that build up to make this more of a pleasant distraction than a fighting game I'd want to spend lots of time and effort getting good at. Still, enough patch support could make this become a game to second look at in the future.
Team Ninja has added some amazing new mechanisms to the fighting system in Dead or Alive 6. Although there is no tag team in this franchise, but DOA quest fills the hole somehow. Dead or Alive 6 gameplay is very engaging and character design is cool as always. The customes are less revealing, but there's still too much focus on suggestive customes that is not really needed in this level.

DoA 6 proves there's plenty of depth to this fighter beneath its skimpy outfits, but its story mode is disjointed and its multiplayer features are currently bare.
Team NINJA demonstrates once again that they're one of the best studios out there at creating fast paced, rock-solid and extremely satisfying combat systems. Dead or Alive 6 is also the best entry for newcomers, but lacks some content and evolution.

Overall, DOA6 is a nice package.
It may have felt like an eternity since the last proper Dead or Alive title, but the sixth installment picks up right where the last left off and makes substantial steps towards propelling the brand forward. Enhanced approachability and single player modes help build upon a stable of already solid content.
An improvement over its predecessors, Dead or Alive 6 is an accomplished fighting game with some neat new tricks and cool cinematic touches up its sleeve. Also, boobs.
Are there areas where Dead Or Alive 6 could use some polish? Yes. But at least it doesn’t feel like a continuation of DOA5, and still moves forwards in some respectable regards.
Dead or Alive 6 maintains its status as a solid and surprisingly deep fighting game that gets hidden underneath the readily apparent fan service. The tweaks to the fighting system only improve the accessibility while not hurting the more advanced players. The 24-character roster is refreshed, but the customization feels more limited. The same can be said for the levels and graphics, which are fine but lack any signs of ambition. However, DoA6 is still a good, solid purchase for fighting game fans, although it may not be the big leap that series fans would've wanted.
Dead or Alive 6 is a solid fighting game that is more dynamic and engaging than past installments even though it doesn't really innovate, but the content isn't as rich as some other fighting games.

In fewer words, DOA 6 is the "DOA-est" entry in the franchise so far, and the new tutorial system is perfect for introducing new generations of players to the game.
Despite a robust and fun fighting system, a lack of online functions and stripped down modes take the shine off Dead or Alive 6.
When it comes to fighting games, there’s no doubt that Dead or Alive 6 is in a league of its own and it has a lot to offer from start to finish. Whether you are an offline player and want to dive into the campaign or DoA Quest modes, there’s a lot there to enjoy, and that doesn’t change for those who want to take the fight online and show the world who the best of the best actually is.
