This is the very essence of what makes fighting games great, and like its predecessor, Last Round does it incredibly well. Even before you start wrapping your head around a character’s extensive, varied move list, DOA empowers you to recognize your opponent’s tendencies, and punish them for them. The triangular relationship it creates between throws, holds, and strikes make every moment an opportunity to outthink your opponent. You can read my full review of Dead or Alive 5 for details on what makes the fighting system so addictive, but in short, DOA takes the rock-paper-scissors idea that lies beneath the hood of most fighting games and bakes it right into your every move and decision.
First thing’s first: the fighting in Last Round remains as excellent as ever.
