In DEAD OR ALIVE 5, players will once again take on the roles of the cast of
DEAD OR ALIVE fighters in an intense, action-packed brawler set in visually
striking locations from around the world. The famed DOA hand-to-hand combat
returns, supported by completely new 3D stages that update the series’
characteristic style with a fresh look and feel.
DOA5 stages are more than spectacular visual backdrops, instead playing to a
fighter’s strengths. As a fight progresses, the backdrop will change and
interact with players. Skilled fighters will be able to utilize these dynamic
stages to pit their opponents against fresh obstacles to create a new fighting
experience. This fusion of combat and dynamically changing backdrops is a
formula for the evolution of fighting games as “Fighting Entertainment”.
With a sensual yet realistic style, DEAD OR ALIVE 5 characters are rendered
in incredibly lifelike detail. From smooth, lithe muscles to emotive facial
expressions, every character comes to life. Characters can even perspire as they
fight, with realistic depiction of wet skin, damp hair, and moist,
semi-translucent clothing as the match progresses.
Along with a rich array of single player modes including story mode, DOA5
offers new online options with arcade-style matches, tournaments, and social
features. Players can be paired into one-off matches or work their way up the
leaderboards for the honor and prestige of competing with players from around
the world for top spot on leaderboards.
No longer content to be eye candy with a deadly kick, the female fighters of
DEAD OR ALIVE 5 show a whole new level of character and style. The unique style
of each fighter, both male and female, will be accentuated by their individual
personalities as they battle with a new look and feel for an intense new
generation of DEAD OR ALIVE combat.
