Once again, almost the same game that we saw a couple of years ago, but it's still a worthy game for the new gen consoles that doesn't have a lot of quality fighting games available. Beautiful and smooth, but a little bit aged.

Outside of a few issues though Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is still a super enjoyable fighting game. There is a superb amount of content, and for those not wanting to invest fully, Core Fighters is a great alternative to check out what it has to offer.

There’s nothing new in Last Round that you haven’t seen by now in the previous versions of DoA 5, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, the constant problems that prevail in the online mode are something that will make the experience of playing it something really frustrating. It’s really a shame that a really important aspect like this still suffers after the two really good attempts that were Dead or Alive 5 and Ultimate.

The content additions are minor and the visual upgrades are difficult to spot. [Apr 2015, p.78]

The fact that this is the "new" version of a last-gen iteration doesn't suffice when you realize it only adds 2 poorly developed characters and a couple of recycled scenarios. If you are a fan of the series and you are looking to play the game in the current generation of consoles, this is the version you need, just bear in mind that it is not a next-gen game properly speaking, but an adaptation with a couple of irrelevant additions.

Despite real new features and a not-so-great visual environment, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round still stands as a solid fighting game, with rich content and gameplay.

It’s particularly frustrating to see Last Round struggle in terms of raw performance when it has no problem marketing its DLC.
