“The last good game in the franchise, and possibly the best? Definitely the best story, and arguably the best graphics, unless you're into that shiny AI pr0n vibe that DoA6 is rocking.”
“i like that this game has a boob jiggle setting”

“this game is really good ngl also the fighting physics are so smooth i really recommend this to players who are broke”
“The Hold mechanics add so much to a 3D-Fighter. Regularly on deep sale. However, a character being permamently unavailable in a competitive Fighting game is really bad. Good pickup to learn DoA before DoA 7.”
“Fast and fluid fighter, not as good looking as DOA6 but not as stripped down either. You can get the majority of the fighters at a good discount in sales, but you can't legit complete the roster anymore since the Mai…”

“No Mai no Buy”
“Super duper lame that you cannot buy Mai anymore as she was limited. I requested a refund.”
“The game is awesome and “free”… Except that in reality, you only get 4 fighters, and everything else you have to buy individually—even the Story mode. xD What a rip-off! The rest of the content is pay-to-play: 8 GB to…”

“This game may be free, but you only get 4 characters and a bunch of technical inconveniences: The game has no graphics settings (besides brightness), you can't make it fullscreen, the controller won't work in the menus,…”
“Mashers dream, my thumb always hurts after some matches. The game is not as bad as Tekken 8. I bought full game (all chars and costumes) in sale.”
“Use to be able to play with just keyboard but now apparently tries to force people to use controller to even play? I need to know what idiot thought that was a good idea.”

— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“The stages are better than DOA6 less DLC the only gripe is (online is somewhat broken so make shure to read the discussions to download the missing file to fix online play it still works the game is missing a file.) I hope the DEV fixes this!!!)”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Short review: At the end of day, Dead or Alive 5 is free to try, if you can stomach the crusty, semi-functional pc port that we're stuck with here. I would not recommend putting money down to unlock the rest of the game, even when heavily discounted. This port job is so…”
