Digital Deluxe Edition This game includes In-Game Purchases. DEAD OR ALIVE 6 is a rapid 3D fighting game developed by Koei Tecmo Games, featuring impressive graphics and multi-layered stages that create a genuinely fun competitive experience. [Introducing the DOA Series] The DEAD OR ALIVE franchise is a AAA fighting series created by Team NINJA at Koei Tecmo Games. Composed of fast-paced 3D fighters beginning with the original arcade game in 1996, the series has appeared on various consoles and arcade cabinets globally. In DEAD OR ALIVE 6, the DOA universe returns more vibrant than ever, with upgraded visuals and combat systems designed to offer the highest level of new fighting entertainment. [Story] The narrative picks up after DEAD OR ALIVE 5, centering on two main storylines: the struggle between "Ninja and DOATEC" against "M.I.S.T. led by Donovan," and the events of the 6th DEAD OR ALIVE Tournament. New side story episodes are also introduced for returning characters. [The New Visuals] Leveraging a new graphics engine, DOA6 aims to take the visual appeal of fighting games to a new height. The graphics are designed to be enticingly realistic, featuring enhanced facial expressions, details like sweat and dirt on character models, and realistic hit effects. [The Triangle System] Following tradition, combat in DEAD OR ALIVE 6 relies on a triangle system: strikes beat throws, throws beat holds, and holds beat strikes. Landing a well-timed attack that counters the opponent's action, such as a strike against a throw, results in a Hi Counter attack that inflicts more damage. [New Combat Mechanics - Break System] In this installment, a new Special Move Gauge (Break Gauge) is introduced to the DEAD OR ALIVE series, adding a dramatic strategic element to fights. This mechanic is designed to be accessible and easy to use for newcomers, activated by simply pressing the [RB] button. [Break Blow] A strong, high-damage special move that knocks opponents down. The initial part of the move parries incoming attacks, serving as both an offensive and defensive maneuver. [Break Hold] A convenient counter technique usable even while heavily stunned. Due to its low damage, it is best used in tight spots. [Fatal Rush] A powerful combo ending with a dramatic finish, activated by pressing the [RB] button repeatedly. While easy for beginners, skilled players can also use it creatively. [New Danger Zones] [Rumble Danger] If knocked into onlookers, they will shove the player back to the center of the stage, combining a real street fight atmosphere with strategy. [Mass-Destruction] Knocking an opponent into a large stack of boxes or barrels with a "Break Blow" or "Fatal Rush" causes a massive chain explosion, leading to huge damage and an exhilarating rush.
