A new tag team specific attack, called the Force Out, knocks the opponent’s current fighter out of the ring and limits the opponent to the other tag partner for a period of time. Several of them make the new tag team mode better for competitive play by veteran players, including a restriction to the amount of health that can be recovered by a tagged out fighter. Some major changes were made to the Tag team gameplay, which now features two-on-two tag battles in online multiplayer. Returning characters also gain new combos that make them more effective, if you know how to use them. A new gameplay feature, called the Power Launcher and working similar to the Power Blow of DOA5 (that can be used only once per round when the player’s fighter’s health falls below 50%), launches opponents high into the air, allowing more advanced players to follow up with a combo. This is a very useful area for honing your skills with a specific fighter and can give you an edge when playing online. The Combo Challenge is a special training mode designed to teach and allow you to practice fighter specific combos. There are forty two separate areas of learning, each with their own subsets of lessons, that can help you be a better fighter. The Tutorial is a mode designed to teach you key moves and strategies and can teach you fighter specific strategies to improve your overall techniques. DOA5U: Core Fighters can compete against players with the retail version in all of the different game modes so there isn’t any real restrictions, other than limited fighters, when deciding which version fits your needs or budget.īesides fixing known bugs, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate adds new training modes that were added to the PS Vita version Dead or Alive 5 Plus. I’m not sure if purchasing costumes will unlock the trophies but I will edit this review if/when I get an answer back from the publisher. If you know you’ll only want to use a few of the fighters you could download the core version for free that includes Kasumi, Ayane, Ryu and Hayate and then purchase new characters which, in turn, will also unlock the trophies. You can buy the full game digitally for $39.99 USD and that will unlock the trophies for you but so will buying the story mode. Unlocked titles, costumes, and story mode progress is carried over from Dead or Alive 5 on the PS3 though, so that’s a definite plus. If you have played either version of Dead or Alive 5 before, the story is the same, convoluted and confusing mess that both Daniel Bischoff and myself covered in our previous DOA5 reviews. You’ll get access to all of the different modes of the game, with the exception of story mode which runs you another $14.99 USD. Now along comes Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate which attempts to take the best of both worlds and release it in a couple of different entry formats.ĭead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters is a free-to-play core game with only a handful of fighters and no trophy support but you have the ability to purchase add-on fighters at four bucks a pop. While consoles got the first one with a straight up Dead or Alive 5 release, the PS Vita was given a rehashed version with new modes, a shared trophy list with the PS3, some minor fixes, and cross platform play in Dead or Alive 5 Plus. Publisher Tecmo Koei and developer Team Ninja have already released two versions of Dead or Alive 5.
