Dead or Alive - Dimensions

About this game

Dead or Alive: Dimensions is a fighting game developed for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the 5th game in the Dead or Alive series and the first to be released on a Nintendo system. Dimensions has 26 playable characters, more than any previous installment in the franchise had to offer, and uses a modified engine of Dead or Alive 4. The story of the game is a brief version of the stories of the previous four main Dead or Alive games. The 3DS's touch screen is used for executing special fighting moves for his or her character, while the top screen is used for displaying… In this Nintendo 3DS release, combat encounters, story, case, or mission progress, and move inputs form the main playable structure. Short bouts use character differences and rising difficulty for variety. The dual screens, stylus, buttons, Circle Pad, and stereoscopic display divide commands from status information where appropriate. Art, animation, sound, interface clarity, and spatial readability are judged against 3DS-era conditions, while handheld controls, move recognition, and network conditions can affect matches.
