Dead or Alive: Dimensions is a fighting game developed for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the 5th game in the Dead or Alive series and the first to be released on a Nintendo system. Dimensions has 26 playable characters, more than any previous installment in the franchise had to offer, and uses a modified engine of Dead or Alive 4. The story of the game is a brief version of the stories of the previous four main Dead or Alive games. The 3DS's touch screen is used for executing special fighting moves for his or her character, while the top screen is used for displaying the fight.

Honestly, this was a surprising find on the 3DS. As a longtime fan of the mainline series on regular consoles; I was expecting this to be "less than" but it was similar to the main ones but in a compact form.
What is useful is the dual screen usage. During a fight, the character moveset is displayed on the bottom that the player can either perform normally with the D-pad/ buttons or press it with their stylus ( a welcome way in for beginners to learn the mechanics). Everyone flows really well battling that I was impressed on the 3ds!
- The story is ok. Nothing to really fawn over and thier are other modes such as time attack, sparring, versus, etc.
- There are as couple new stages mixed in with the old stages from the mainline games.
Super fun game for on the go battles!
