 I want to talk about my favorite game "DEAD OR ALIVE Xtreme Venus Vacation" today. It has been over a year since I started playing this game, and my total playtime is 939.1 hours. According to the official website, DOAXVV has been in service for 5 years.

DOA (Dead or Alive), the original title of DOAXVV, was initially released as an arcade fighting game exclusively for arcades. The first DOA was an arcade game that ran on the same SEGA Model2 platform as Virtua Fighter2, and the control system was an arranged version of VF2's 3-button system. The G (Guard) button of VF2 was changed to H (Hold), and the guard was arranged to be done when the lever was operated in the opposite direction, as in traditional 2D fighting games.

In addition, bold 3D effects are used for damage and portrayal through the Danger Zone, as well as for expressing the busts of female characters that appear in the game, making it a groundbreaking and highly advanced game system.

The porting to home 32-bit game consoles at the time was excellent in reproducing the original arcade game, demonstrating Tecmo's high development power sufficiently.

In "DOA," all playable characters are female and are called "Venus." Currently, 30 playable Venus have appeared, and new Venus are planned to be added regularly. The basic gameplay is to organize a pair of Venus and play beach volleyball, and the limited elements that players can intervene in are because an automatic battle system by AI is adopted. When you win at beach volleyball, you can get useful items or raise the Venus's level.

However, the charm of this game is not the beach volleyball itself, but the ability to admire the Venus in swimsuits. Using the photo mode, you can save various attractive images, and by seeing a variety of images uploaded on Twitter, you are driven by the urge to try it yourself. I had no interest in uploading images to SNS, but I want to improve my photography skills to enjoy the game more.

There is one more point I want to touch on about this game. That is, this game is a gacha game that includes a payment element. Even if you don't pay, you can get SSR items, so this game is quite tolerant. However, I want to get Venus's exclusive limited-release items that are sold only on each Venus's birthday. However, the minimum unit for payment in this game is set very high at 10,000 yen. The desired item is not guaranteed to be obtained even if you pay 10,000 yen because a very low drop rate is set for the special prize items.

Therefore, I have never paid for anything in this game. However, I think that even players who do not pay can still enjoy this game sufficiently. However, since there are limits to what non-paying players can do, I feel it's important to not be too greedy and just enjoy the game.
