Even then, though, the costumes are an optional extra. Alternatively, you could just pony up £31.99 (or less at your local game store) and get all characters and game modes bundled in.

Put it all together, and you could spend hundreds on Last Round. It doesn’t end there, however, as you can also buy extra costumes for these characters for a few extra pounds.

On top of this, you can buy the story mode separately for £11.99 and additional characters at £3.19 a pop.

You can download a free version, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round – Core Fighters, which comes with only the basic versus, arcade, training and online game modes, plus four fan-favourite characters to enjoy them with. On the second count, it all depends on how you buy it. What used to look a bit dodgy is now getting desperately cringe-worthy. Sure, there’s a playful, tongue-in-cheek element to it, but we’ve sometimes found Last Round just, well, embarrassing. On the first count, there’s not much defence beyond a feeble ‘well, it’s all a bit of fun, isn’t it?’ With its lingering shots of heaving cleavage, its hyper-sexualised characters and a range of unlockable, alternate costumes that include bunny girl outfits, bikinis, T-shirt/knickers combos and racy evening-wear, it’s safe to say that Dead or Alive 5: Last Round doesn’t exactly do much to boost the cause of feminism. With the online mode, players can organize tournaments for up to 16 participants as well as the Spectator mode that allows players to chat while watching matches online.Two things can’t help but dominate the conversation about Dead or Alive 5: Last Round: the series’ slack-jawed, bulging-eyed obsession with the wobblier parts of the female anatomy, and the way it’s being sold this time around. Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters gives players extremely realistic action scenes, from the effects of battle sweat to the effects of clothing soiled in battles. With more than 20 characters in the game, players can unleash the choice of warriors fighting DOA and hunt for evil copies of Kasumi.

The game was developed with 4 main modes: Story, Battle, Online and Extras. After just released, the game received a lot of positive feedback from critics about the graphics bearing realistic images. For Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 systems, fans no need to worry about not being able to experience the new version of the game. Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters is a follow-up to the series of Dead or Alive series developed by Team Ninja and released by Tecmo Koei in 2012. For those who are dead fans of Dead or Alive, surely they will not be able to miss the next published games of this cult game.
