About this game

Dead or Alive 5 is a fighting game centered around “disruptive triangle” — the set of different combos in which one type of an attack beats another one and forms a triangle structure, so there are no unbreakable blows. It is a part of a more extensive series developed by Team Ninja consisting of 23 titles and being the 15th game in the franchise.
