Fans of the Doa might find something in this game. But the average gamer stay away and go pick up fight night instead.

This game is basically just a small expansion to DOA:U, with really the only new things being some new characters and a very cranked up difficulty level. Sure some fans of fighting games might find this fun and challenging, but the average gamer will spend most of his time throwing the controller to the ground. The only way to really be good at this game is to learn the combo system. Which requires literally split second reactions and the right combination of buttons. (9.9% your opponent will kick your ass.

The modes of the game.
Single player- Single player is pretty much worthless in this game unless you looking to unlock new costumes, which most of them are either school girl outfits or just simply reskins of other costumes. You might also want to see the character endings. But if your not a DOA fan most of the endings will just seem immature and a waste of time. I personally felt that most of the endings where directed at horney 13 year olds, but that's just me.

Time attack- By far the hardest part of the game. Beginners will probably take at least 15-50 minutes beating this mode. Due to the extremely unfair last boss battle.

Survival- This is surprisingly fun, but in the end with lack of unlocks or anything at all it is really just a time killer.

VS.-The strong part of the game. Since it is the only part where you actually have a chance taking on another player who doesn't know the combo system.

Multiplayer- Harder than single player since all the fanboys just slaughter you. Master single player before even trying this one.

Overall this a very unfinished game. The best use for it was trading it in for fight night which is a lot more fun and in dept. DOA is no where near the next gen point either. The only thing that's better graphically is the back ground. But it still as little difference from other games in the series. The game play is also identical to the last installments of the sereis but only a lot harder. This game was simply just fell victim to the lack of development. Hopefully the next Doa will actually be a worthy next gen game. Til then I probably will stay away from the series.
