It would have been much easier for Koei Tecmo to bring DOA Venus Vacation PRISM to the West than to make this garbage game... Besides censoring the female fighters... Want clothes??? Go to a convent.

This is, quite literally, the first time in my life I've encountered a fighting game belonging to this franchise. Having no prior experience with it, I must admit that the title surprised me in a very pleasant and positive way. The first thing that stands out is the extremely high level of difficulty the game imposes, especially when it comes to understanding and correctly executing special moves and combos. This is a video game that feels quite physical and is extremely complex to master from the moment you pick up the **** depth of its mechanics is evident when observing the variety of situations it offers in the arena: the management of fighting stances, the possibility of landing effective blows from behind the opponent's back, and, above all, that constant technical exchange of holds against holds. All of these elements make it a difficult title to fully understand and master.Furthermore, when it comes to putting theory into practice and executing strategies in real time, the game introduces a central system based on the dynamics of "rock, paper, scissors." This mechanic completely alters the rules of the game, making each match utterly unpredictable when facing other fighters, as the opponent's mindset is as crucial as the actual button presses.Considering this game has been around for many years, it's clear that a large portion of the active community has already mastered it. This creates a serious problem in the ranked mode, which unfortunately is far from balanced. The matchmaking system makes the mistake of pitting a novice against experienced players with streaks of ten or more fights without a single loss.Under this unfavorable circumstances, the most difficult trophy to obtain in the entire game was, without a doubt, winning five ranked matches in a row. This disparity in the online mode makes reaching for this achievement an even more arduous and frustrating experience. However, I must reiterate that, as my first experience with the intellectual property, the overall experience was quite good. I know perfectly well that the most die-hard fans of this franchise categorically state that this sixth installment is the worst of them all. I, frankly, having never played any other title in the series before, completely lack that point of comparison. However, evaluating it strictly from the perspective of a new user or a player just entering this universe, I can say with complete certainty that it is one of the most difficult fighting games to understand on the current market.Being an overly physical combat simulator, the movement of the characters across the arena often feels slow, sluggish, and heavy. In this game, the only real way to gain speed and dynamism is through the correct execution of combos; it is precisely there, when chaining together blows, that you feel the game truly flow and demonstrates its potential to offer much more fast-paced and exciting gameplay.Visually, the costumes of absolutely all the characters (including, quite rightly, the male fighters) are quite interesting and extremely well done. They boast a very attractive overall aesthetic, although it's undeniable that the true protagonists and center of attention of this game are the so-called waifus. The female designs are highly appealing and aesthetically perfect, to the point that it's practically impossible not to stare at them during the first few matches. Fortunately, as the hours pass, you get used to their presence and they cease to be a distraction from the gameplay. In conclusion, and although I never had the chance to try the original PlayStation 4 version, I must mention that Dead or Alive 6: The Last Round features a combat system that I find quite solid. While the gameplay can sometimes feel a bit stiff, with consistent practice it can be mastered quite well. The title offers a generous number of single-player modes, and I found the story mode to be well-structured, perfectly fulfilling its purpose for someone like me, who knew absolutely nothing about the lore or the characters' backstories. I think this is a game that fully delivers on its promise of entertainment, providing a great time in front of the screen and the ability to keep you hooked for hours. However, it does have one peculiarity: once you master a specific character, it's difficult to go back. RATE 7.5/10

Dead or Alive 6 – Last Round is the best way to play DOA6. It is the most complete, most polished and most balanced edition, bringing all the content together for an experience far superior to the original launch. For fans of 3D fighting games, it is fast-paced, technical and visually stunning. For those who have played DOA6 before, this version is finally what the game deserved to be.
