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.
