So, I'm no fighting game expert by any means, I just think they're fun. This game has really intuitive and fluid fighting, and its super satisfying when you can figure out the combos. I also love seeing the effects of a fight: easy fights leave my fighter looking the way they came in, and when you beat your opponent excessively, they'll lose accessories, show tears in their clothing, and even show cuts/bruises and sweat.
Liking the girls is a bonus.

What starts out as an excuse to look at cute 3d models of anime girls slowly morphs into a respectable fighting experience with deep, unique mechanics and combat that feels fair and always skill-based. Each character has their own pros and cons, without anyone in the original roster really feeling particularly broken.
Yes, the monetization is pretty disgusting, but always purely cosmetic, and if you have enough self control to ignore the hundreds of dollars in DLC that's available, the game can be enjoyed fully without it.
Overall, thanks Team Ninja for a fun fighter where even if I lose I'm still looking at anime tiddies, which is a win every time.

The Good:
Free to play with 4 characters included as the basics. They're not even bad characters.
If you only care about a few characters, this can be a pretty cheap experience. I got Hanoka, Marie Rose, and Nyotengu for like $12 total. It's not a bad deal in that regard.
It's a good fast-paced experience.
The Bad:
This will stretch the limits of your GPU so hard. You may have to turn down the resolution.
There's a ton of DLC that's not worth it, but also not mandatory.
The online community is super dead, if you care about that.

This game is such a love hate relationship, what 50 year old Japanese executive at Koei thought it was a good idea to make a $60 fighting game with $2000+ worth of DLC plus season passes? But every almost every female character is waifu tier so of course people will buy the DLCs. Anyway it’s kinda sad because DoA 6 is an actually good fighting game made by Team Ninja with great character designs and is really fun to play on LAN or play quests/story mode, online is meh though. If you actually wanna play DoA 6 just download the Core Fighters version and install the DLC unlock patch. This is the one review I wish Steam had a neutral option for. Do I recommend the game? Yes, this is the best free fighting game out there. Do I agree with Koei Tecmo's practices? No, don’t support them until they stop milking DoA so hard.
