This is a first person type fight where all your moves are performed by tapping and swiping the screen. Touch Fight is unique to the Vita thanks to the great touch screen on the unit. In any case, to make up for losing Tag Battles, we have the brand new Touch Fight.

While the omission of Tag is puzzling, it could be because of limitations on the memory or the Vita hardware itself. Store mode follows the same paths with the same cut scenes, Arcade, Time Attack and Survival are all the same as before, except the Vita version does not have Tag Battle for any of these modes. When you boot the game up you will see the same modes found in the console releases. So all of the costumes you purchased in the PlayStation Store will transfer over to the Vita version once you sign in. Owners of the PS3 version will be able to take advantage right out of the box. The only question remains, is the Vita Version worth owning if you already have the console version?įirst off, if you own the Xbox 360 version of DOA 5, then some small features found in the Vita version will be of no use to you, such as Cross-play and Cross saving data. Now, Tecmo Koei have created a sort of “Champion Edition” version of DOA 5 with Dead or Alive 5 Plus exclusively for the PlayStation Vita, containing everything from the console versions with a few added extras. Its upgrade in visuals compared to DOA 4 were a huge step for the series, not to mention the inclusion of guest fighters from Sega’s Virtua Fighter series.

Tournament players will spend hours analyzing the best moves for their fights.Dead or Alive 5 released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 earlier this year. Both novice and expert players will also find even more ways to up their game with new training-focused modes and a new display of advanced frame data that reveals twice the amount of information for each move compared to previous versions. Using the Vitas motion sensor, you can even play vertically for a first-person, full-screen view of your opponent. Simple taps, swipes, and pinches on your opponent trigger a variety of devastating moves. New touch controls bring a completely new experience to fighting games.

With a sensual yet realistic style, characters are rendered in incredibly lifelike detail. Players will take on the roles of the cast of DEAD OR ALIVE fighters in an intense, action-packed brawler set in visually striking locations from around the world, with each stage featuring backdrops that change and interact with players. Building on the popular DOA series signature fighting style, DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS brings the spectacular graphics and new martial arts techniques of the recent console release to the PS Vita with all-new system-specific features.
