Description

Dead Or Alive 5 marries the signature fighting style of the popular Dead Or Alive series with stunning new graphics, new online features, and new martial arts techniques to create a strong new direction for the franchise.

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 Dead Or Alive hand-to-hand combat returns, supported by completely new 3D stages that update the series' characteristic style with a fresh look and feel.

Dead Or Alive 5 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, Dead Or Alive 5 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.
