Dead or Alive 4
Dead or Alive 4 is an iconic fighting game and the fourth installment in the hugely popular Dead or Alive series, continuing the story from the 2001 release, Dead or Alive 3. This engaging title boasts a roster of 22 diverse playable characters and features a variety of dynamic, multi-tiered fighting arenas that enhance the competitive experience. DOA4 introduces significant updates compared to its predecessors, including comprehensive revisions to characters’ move sets and the addition of four exciting new fighters, alongside the return of several fan favorites. The revamped counter system offers a more challenging gameplay experience, with a reduced window for counters that increases the skill required for execution and adjusts the damage output for counter moves.
Dead or Alive 4 dives deep into the gripping saga of Helena Douglas as she steps up as the second chair of the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee, determined to eradicate the rampant corruption within the organization. After the tragic loss of her father and her cherished mother to a web of dastardly conspiracies, Helena bravely puts herself at the heart of the chaos to finally break the cycle of tragedy.
Meanwhile, the diabolical Victor Donovan, who wields true power at Doatec, retreats to the Bio Lab Core, fixated on his twisted ambition to create the ultimate human weapon. His latest endeavor, nicknamed “Alpha-152,” emerges from the cutting-edge realm of hyper-cloning, deriving its DNA from the skilled fighter Kasumi.
The overarching narrative unfolds amidst a fierce battle between Doatec and the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan. After the formidable Ayane triumphs over Omega, the last creation of Doatec, Hayate returns to the Mugen Tenshin clan as its new leader, fueled by a burning desire for vengeance against Doatec. Throughout the fourth tournament, Hayate assembles an elite team of the world’s most powerful ninjas, including Ayane, Ryu Hayabusa, and other notable members of the Mugen Tenshin clan. Even though she’s hesitant, Kasumi finds herself drawn into the fray as she tracks her brother’s quest for justice.
