What Is -- Dead Or Alive 6 (PS4)
DOA is like the 3D fighting game Tekken and has been around as long back to the PS1 era and its faster than Tekken in its most recent games back to the PS3. It went free to play sort of having to pay for character DLC alone or in packs, and you could buy the games in the box or digitally. Not to much changed between DOA 5 and DOA 6 if I recall in fight game mechanics. Uses a strange button configuration if I recall being strong weak and grab instead like in Tekken being left punch, left kick, right punch and right kick plus all the ways to link the moves on the top L1, L2, R1 and R2, I think DOA was more complex to master given all the variety in attacks you could do, but also had a simplistic way of playing once you learn the moves that work, sending the enemy across the screen into a wall. I haven't played DOA since back in 2024 when I took these screen shots and didn't play it much then. It has a "core fighters" release which limits the characters.
