Dead Or Alive 6 Is Free To Play On Steam But Several Features Are Missing
The latest installment of the Koei Tecmo fighting series, Dead or Alive 6 has already gone free-to-play on Steam within 2 weeks of its release. One thing to take away from this is that it’s an extract of the full game, meaning there are several features missing which do need to be purchased as add-ons. The Free-to-play Dead or Alive 6 will not include some playable characters as well as the game’s story mode. These are add-ons that you do need to purchase either separately or by buying the deluxe complete edition. The price for that and technically the full game is $25 on Steam. I’d call the free version a demo of sorts but it isn’t exactly provided that way. In fact, it’s more like a free game but with paid premium features.

Antimatter has stated that players will be offered the chance to complete challenges across sprawling maps in every game, which can turn the tide of battle toward their team’s favour by creating “tangible impacts”. If the trailer is anything to go by, this means a lot of explosions that seem powerful enough to wipe out a handful of a team’s members. Players will also have access to a selection of air and land-infantry … [Read more...] about Killing Floor developer working on high-player count Cold War game
