Summary
Bayman's military patrol is ambushed and cut down by a hooded figure of superhuman speed which then dissolves into thin air. Seeking revenge, Bayman meets Helena aboard Freedom Survivor, as he is suspecting DOATEC's involvement, which Helena denies, suggesting it might be rather the work of Donovan's breakaway faction.

If you want to upgrade to a next-generation version of this fun fighter, go ahead. If you really really want two new characters, go for it. But if you are looking for something truly new and different, you are unfortunately looking in the wrong place.
The game boasts the largest lineup of characters, costumes, and stages ever in the series and with the gorgeous graphics on current-gen consoles, there is no doubt that this is the definitive Dead or Alive experience. The crashing issues are worrisome, but Team Ninja is already working on a fix and they mostly only affect online play, so you may not even run across this issue if you stick to single player. While waiting for the inevitable sixth entry in the series, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is a very solid way to end the fifth generation of the franchise.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is the final version of a game released in 2012. That means it includes three years worth of available DLC, but it also means the graphical improvements weren't as grand as they could've been. DOA5 is still a solid fighter, but a lack of ambition, focus on DLC, and severe bugs in the Xbox One version means it's not amazing.
