Dead or Alive 4 (Japanese: デッドオアアライブ4 Hepburn: Deddo Oa Araibu Fō?, abbreviated as DOA4) is a fighting game in the Dead or Alive series, developed by Team Ninja and published by Tecmo for the Xbox 360 as a launch title in 2005.
Dead or Alive 4 features 22 playable characters, and multi-tiered and interactive fighting arenas. There are six modes in the game:
DOA4 has a number of updates in reference to previous titles. Characters' move lists have been vastly updated and four new characters have been added to the fighting roster, with returns from a couple of past characters as well. The counter system has been tightened, making the window for counters shorter and more difficult to execute, and the amount of damage that counters inflict has been changed. However, like Dead or Alive 3, the game features a relatively low number of costumes and numerous series characters now had to be unlocked by the player.
Returning characters in the game are Ayane, Bass Armstrong, Bayman, Brad Wong, Christie, Ein/Hayate, Eliot, Hitomi, Jann Lee, Kasumi, Kokoro, Leifang, Lisa Hamilton (La Mariposa), Ryu Hayabusa, Tina Armstrong, and Zack.
