If you're new to the Dead or Alive franchise and own just about any type of XBOX system, you can get the entire fighting series for 86.99. That's less than one of the season passes at regular price, but as a special bonus, these season passes are half off for XBOX players as part of the discount. This sale has just begun and will be running until the 23rd of May.
Dead or Alive 1: Ultimate is an underrated gem that many people new to the franchise have been curious about. The game is currently on sale for 7.99 and while it no longer includes online play or wide-screen support; the character models look really nice on XBOX S|X and I have spent a number of hours just enjoying it without needing to hook up my Saturn or Playstation. This is the cheapest title of the sale and a great start to your digital DOA library.
Dead or Alive 2: Ultimate and Dead or Alive 3, both look incredibly refreshing on S|X. Both of these titles are priced at 11.99 and they are both considered to be fan favorites. DOA3 was never console online, but DOA2 was on the original XBOX alongside DOA1. Like DOA1 - it is no longer online.
Dead or Alive 4 is priced at 14.99 and is one of the most complete 3D fighters on the market, and the last fighting game created by Tomonobu Itagaki (the creator of the series). This game still functions online and is the oldest online fighting game available on the market today.
Dead or Alive 6 (Digital Deluxe) and Dead or Alive 5: Last Round (Full Game) are priced at 19.99 and are still incredibly active today for their age. Ever since DOA6 frame rate issues were addressed on XBOX S|X there have been more players emerging on the system. I have been playing on XBOX because I always find a ranked game in a timely manner even if the lobby system is hit or miss. Since the sale started yesterday, I find myself in a match within 30-75 seconds.
DOA6 had a messy launch, but it has since recovered from many of its issues and some players are saying DOA6U isn't needed because current-gen hardware has fixed the issues they originally had with the game. Hoodless Weekly is one way players have kept active with the game, and this may continue with XBOX if more players recommend it. DOA6 will also be appearing at Combo Breaker later this month.
