It's no better than DOA 5, but it's still a hell of a fun game to play. We are so back with DOA 6LR though.
Also, better implement rollback netcode for this and I will double down on the promise that I'll buy your dating sim full / sale price and never ♥♥♥♥♥ about it again 🙏

First off, I don't care what anyone says, the fanservice makes it better.
Second, this game is technically free to play. I just picked a main and grabbed a couple of costumes. Got into this game for $10. And while there are things that make it worse than DOA5, there are also things that make it better. Unfortunately no one is playing right now. That could be fixed with a good sale or two. Especially for the DLC. Yes, there is a lot of it, but this is technically a free to play game.
Anyway, DOA6 is actually a pretty good game, and I do recommend it.

Still playing in 2025. I will never stop playing this game because this is my stress reliever and my comfort game. Especially since one of my mains in this game is Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond. They're the ones who introduced me to this game since I heard before that KOF x Dead or Alive had a collaboration. I love her move list and animation skills in the fight. I really love it, and I will always rate this 10/10.

This is an underrated franchise. The pricing model is outrageous but there is a mod that will unlock all the DLC. So you can get the entire game for free. So, I can't be too mad about the pricing model when you can easily bypass it.

A legitimately great fighter that deserved more. Should it have several hundred dollars of DLC? No. Did the devs handle the marketing the wrong way for this franchise? Yes. It's still a fantastic fighting game.

I told myself I bought it for the gameplay. That was a lie. A beautiful one.
But honestly, beneath all the fan service, Dead or Alive 6 is a fun and exciting fighter. I’ve been a fan since the Ninja Gaiden and DoA 2 days on the Xbox Vanilla, and this one keeps that spirit alive.

It's like Tekken with better titties.
All joking aside it is a pretty good fighting game. You can just mash buttons when you're new, but there's a lot of depth as well for people who want to invest the time into learning the game.
