DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round: Core Fighters

the perfect DOA 5 game that was done well without the help of the best DOA creator itagaki! i had 1000+ hours on this game in the past and many more hours even to this day <3

Please add a online private match so I can beat up my friends after they rank 🙃

100% GREAT!!!

Dead or Alive is one of my favorite franchises ever, and I honestly don't think I would be the gamer I am today without Itagaki's creation. Seeing all these characters return, looking and playing better than ever, is still a joy to behold. As a longtime fan, I can easily recommend Dead or Alive 5: Last Round to both veterans and newcomers. That said, this particular PC port, as well as many of the questionable decisions made by Team Ninja and Tecmo Koei afterward, aren't exactly what I would consider ideal. The classic roster is excellent. Both returning and newcomer fighters are splendid to look at and, more importantly, fun to play. I don't think there's a single character missing, nor do I think the roster has unnecessary additions. Sadly, the post-launch DLC characters aren't nearly as compelling. I honestly don't think Mai Shiranui, Honoka, or Marie Rose belong in this game—or in Dead or Alive at all—even if they certainly provide plenty of eye candy. They don't fit what I consider Itagaki's original vision for the series, and I couldn't disagree more with the decision to take Dead or Alive in that direction. It's not a deal-breaker by itself, but it is a serious wound to the…

Good game for it's time, i like

This is by far the best DOA game ever. While DOA6LR was just a shameless cash grab for doa fans than an actual competitive revival, DOA5 was WAY WAY more competitive, with it still being accesible to casuals even tho the dlcs are a little bit overkill, Wouldve loved a definitive edition with proper online cuz aint no way im putting money to get the full game all that for it to not even have rollback netcode (ITS A FIGHTING GAME REMEMBER!!!!) Other than that this game would deffo need a community service just like CCCaster with MBAACC otherwise Tecmo is just killing the franchise, DOA5 is for me the best 3DFG just behind tekken would hate to see it die like soulcalibur. RIP Itagaki...
