'Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round' (ALL) Totally Gimped On PC

by Rainier on March 30, 2015 @ 12:00 p.m. PDT

Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round represents the zenith of the DoA 5 series, including the best and brightest content from those games, along with all-new content only found in Last Round.

Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will take to the ring to deliver the signature DOA fighting style, wrapped up in the most graphically impressive version of a Dead Or Alive game ever seen. The combatants in Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will present an unparalleled level of life-like detail, and smooth striking animations that will firmly place every fighter in the heat of the moment. The game’s dynamic interactive stages once again boast a range of visually striking locations from around the world, while offering even more destruction, deadly new danger zones and a higher level of strategic choices for players to utilize in the quest for victory.

Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will deliver the largest roster of fighters in any DOA game to date. Fighters will include: Hayabusa, Hayate, Kasumi, Ayane, Rig, Momiji, Leon, Kokoro, Tina, Lisa, Brad Wong, Jann Lee, Hitomi, Leifang, Christie, Eliot, Leon, Gen Fu, Bayman, Bass, Zack, Helena, Marie Rose, Phase 4 and newly released Nyotengu along with Akira, Pai, Jacky and Sarah Bryant from the Virtua Fighter series. 

Character customization options get even deeper, as Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will offer over 400 open and unlockable costumes, including 31 brand new costumes consisting of winning designs created by actual Dead or Alive players. Brand new hairstyle and accessory options round out nearly endless possibilities to adorn the fighters for any occasion. Players can bring their run of rosters, costumes and  save data from Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate, as previously purchased DLC content will be transferable from last gen consoles to the PS4 and Xbox One (PS3 to PS4, Xbox 360 to Xbox One).

Today Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round launched on PC (Steam) but unlike the PS4/XOne version, the PC edition is missing A LOT of content/features.

  • Currently the game only supports offline play. Online gameplay is planned to be added at a later date. Details will be announced on the website when they are available.
  • The game does not support achievements.
  • The game does not support Steam Cloud.
  • The game currently does not support keyboard control customization.
  • The Steam version cannot carry over DLC from PS4/PS3/Xbox One/Xbox 360.
  • The Steam version cannot carry over save data from PS4/PS3/Xbox One/Xbox 360.
  • The Danger Zone and The Crimson stages are not included.
  • Particle effects, etc are PS3 version (not the PS4/XOne effects)
  • anyone with a Steam name containing ? / :* ^ " < > | will encounter save problems and if you change your Steam ID after saving the game, your save may not work anymore
  • The new Soft Engine is missing, instead the PC version uses the PS3 engine, which means less visual effects.

Players wanting a taste of what Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round has to offer can play the main game content in Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round: Core Fighters free of charge. PlayStation 4 players will have access to the free-to-download version via the PlayStation Network which includes four fighters - Ayane, Hayate, Kasumi and Ryu Hayabusa - and almost every game mode will be available. Xbox One players will have access to a free trial version of Last Round via the Xbox Games Store consisting of the same free-to-download fighters and features as noted above, but is not expandable via additional purchases. Xbox One users wanting an extended experience can purchase Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round: Core Fighters at a launch discount of $4.99 MSRP for the first two weeks after the games release, from that point on the price will raise to $9.99 MSRP. The purchased Xbox One version of Core Fighters includes all of the contents as the free trial, but adds four more fighters to the mix in Hitomi, Tina, Jann Lee and Bass, and is expandable from there via additional purchases. All console users can transfer unlocked titles, costumes and Story Mode progress from the last-gen versions of Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate to the current gen version of Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round (PS3 to PS4 and Xbox 360 to Xbox One), as well as compete with combatants from both the free and full retail versions. Additional characters, Story Mode and other features can be accessed for a fee.

Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will be available for $39.99 on PS4, Xbox One (physical and digital), PC (Steam) and $29.99 on PS3 / Xbox 360 (digital only).
