The cutscenes and chapters jump around from time frame to time frame like a Delorean with a flux capacitor. I’m still not sure why I fought most of the people I fought, but losing did give me the instant option to retry, so that was good. The story is told in a non-linear fashion that can be very confusing. Helena dissolved DOATEC’s Biotechnology Division, stopped the Military Division’s biological weapons projects Alpha, Epsilon and Omega, fired all members of Victor Donovan’s faction, and announced that she intends to hold the Dead or Alive Tournament 5 (DOA5), hosted by the American DJ character Zack. Helena Douglas has undertaken the task of rebuilding DOATEC but wants to use its technology for peaceful ends. I posted an image below to show you what I mean.ĭead or Alive 5+ is set two years after the events of Dead or Alive 4 and the destruction of the DOATEC corporation’s TriTower headquarters. Both versions also share the same trophy set so if you have unlocked a trophy on the PS3, it will already be on your list for the PS Vita. You can then download the data from the in-game menu on the PS Vita and this will allow you to carry your progress across both platforms. Protip: If you have played DOA5 on the PS3 you’ll probably want to update the game on the PS3 and upload your game save via the new in-game option.

Was it a successful port, or should it have been left in dry dock? Let’s find out.

Dead or Alive 5 was released back in September for both of the big box consoles and Team Ninja has just released their ported PS Vita version with a few new bells and whistles. The current developers, Team Ninja, are known for porting their titles from the big screens of the PS3 and Xbox down to the smaller screens of the 3DS and PS Vita – one need only look at Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus to see two of their PS Vita ports. The Dead or Alive series has been around since 1996 and has graced almost every console known to man, including both handhelds and big box consoles alike.
