We’re a little less than two months away until the release ofDead or Alive 6. With new characters and game mechanics adding into the game, Koei Tecmo seems to be stepping up with this entry.And with the beta upon us today, Koei Tecmo fills you in with all the new features you need to know.
First off,Dead or Alive 6shows off its “Triangle” combat system. Basically this is a rock-paper-scissors system where strikes beat throws, throws beat holds, and holds beat strikes. There is also a “fury combo” system which are basically one button presses which create combos (similar toDragon Ball FighterZ). We also see a “Break Blow” which looks like a counter hit that staggers your opponent briefly. There are also “Break Holds” which helps you recover and regain positioning on your opponent. Both of these “Break” moves use your Break gauge but prove to be a great way to mix up the pace of battle.
The trailer also gives detail onDOA Central, which is a shop of sorts. you’re able to look up lore and information from theDOAseries, as well as purchase new clothing and accessories for your favorite characters.
They also briefly mention the other gameplay mechanics including tutorial and training mode, DOA Quest, online battle, command training, arcade, and much more. With the extensive list of features like this, it looks likeDead or Alive 6will give you your money’s worth of content.
If you want to try out the game now, you may download theonline beta now for PS4until January 14. I highly recommend checking it out so you can get a solid grasp on the mechanics. Though this game may be an arena brawler and have similarities to something like Tekken,Dead or Aliveplays almost completely different in most ways.
you’re able to also pre-orderDead or Alive 6now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One onAmazonbefore its release on March 1.
