Graphics are ok and they have kept a few things in regards to arty style etc. but its all just ruined by adopting this no limit city deadwood clone vibes theme at least thats what im getting from it. Just doesn't do it for me in any way.

And they should have kept 9 lines, maybe gone 20. But ive never liked games like this with like 40 paylines. Just makes the pays crap! and a decent win way more harder to get then both its predecessors.

1000x bonus buy on the 92% version of a ridiculously high volatile game. Can see that ending well for many people that are unfortunately unaware of what RTP means.

It looks so shite I can't even be arsed to click the VPN button to find out if, by some miracle, it's somehow even shitter than one can confidently already assume.
 
it is just as bad as expected, a shitty red tiger game hiding behind a netent logo. More chance landing of a good win on bonanaza then playing this shite, Its not in the same ball park as either 1 or 2.

the amount of times ive turned pennies into withdrawals on the older games it seems that shit wont be happening on this game, awful pays less potential in my opinion way harder to see the potential also.

its a no from me Sandra! sorry i mean Net Ent.

sad times yet again in slot land.

This is very true. I can only imagine how many people out there who have lost a tonne of money doing buys. Being reeled thinking it has to pay something but little do they know they are on 92% rtp .....and that low of rtp..you can quite literally play forever and not hit anything.
 
I maybe the only one here :laugh: but i personally dont mind it from the demo play I did for half hour - but I agree its not really 'doa' as i or others might expect.

On the other hand though, I dont mind how it looks - it looks fine to me, nothing amazing, seen worse.

Don't mind the reel sizes, and I tried each bonus to get an idea of what it was like - I felt I did better on this with a regular bonus than doa1/2 on a regular bonus. but that was just my experience.

I like the original doa and got used to the consistent 5-10x bonus's over the years :laugh: but the few i had on doa3 so far have generally been better. (outside of wildlines etc)

Overall, i didn't mind it, and would give it a go here and there. would i take it over 1/2 ? no. i still prefer 1, with 2 now and again. (and still waiting for a wildline/5 scatters, on either of those!)

Seems like one of those marketing things where they might want to pivot to those hacksaw type slots and use the dead or alive brand to do it. Looks like a bullets and bounty clone from that screenshot.

Agree that they should have kept the classic 5x3 9 lines. Why change that when it's what the first two are known for.

It might have been cool if they just added a JATB style bonus on a 5x3. Add a key/dynamite symbol that release a character from 'jail' and they are different wild types i.e. sticky, expanding etc.

Could have had 5 wild variations with the five characters. Something like that would have been very interesting I reckon. All the volatility choices of DoA2 but in one feature and you don't know which ones would release during the bonus.

Too late now though :laugh:
 
Quite amazing actually that they spoke of DOA3 so many years ago, had all that time to tweak things, observe trends, listen to customers - even coming here to ask us what we want only to then do a runner once they've heard enough, that somehow after all that time this is what they settled with.

I guess they decided the best course of action was to make sure all the classic DOA fans hate this game and stay well clear of it. Clever bastards.
 
Tried the demo a bit, honestly i dont mind the gameplay.
But as others have said it does not feel like Dead or alive or a....threequel?
Im sure thats a word.

It really reminds me of that now somewhat old NLC slot deadwood i think it was called.
Maybe im remembering it wrong but in my mind the graphics are similar.

Imo they delivered a really good sequel with DoA2, hard to top that so DoA3 was destined to be disappointing almost no matter what form it took.

I give it DoesntfeellikeDoA/10
 
To be fair, I don't trust any DOA version since Evolution acquired NetEnt. DOA has never been the same to me.

With the latest version, I can't help but concur that the 1000x-buy is another gimmick to tempt and milk the average slots player.

It's a FAIL IMPO. I won't play it.

Wild lines still come mate but IMO nowhere near as much as they used to compared to the spins you put through it.

5 Scatters were also possible from time to time but are now ULTRA rare.

Yes, I have had a few - but you are 100% spot on!

I am seeing similar trends with NLC and Evolution.

5 hardcore DOA players who probably have 400 - 600 wild lines between them all hold the same opinion. Strange :)


edit.
sorry, 4 hardcore DOA players and some bride chaser ;)

Thats 'the artist formerly known as the bride chaser' to you.

Im sure the story released to the public will say something else, but the real reason they removed it from the swedish market is because i got too many wildlines, and i was getting really close to figuring out who the bride was.
 
I found out about dead or alive megaways and why it never came out. Basically it got delay after delay and according to google ai it was in development hell. And this dead or alive 3 game we have now is a mish mash of the megaways version they were going to release. Sad that we didnt get dead or alive megaways and instead got Deadwood pretending to be dead or alive 3.

So basically doa megaways is not coming out, and all the art style and other scraps they had from making that game got combined into what were now calling dead or alive 3.

This is what i found out when researching thw game on google.
 
One of those "What could have been great...." scenarios.

DoA II (not that I play it much) was seemingly a VERY popular sequel and still played strong to this day

DoA III could have been ultra HV but along the same settings as its predecessors, maybe with higher multi's possible on the wilds, simple as that it would have got much more traffic than this pending dross.
 
i hate to say it but its growing on me the more im playing it and getting to understand it. For example if you land wilds in the base game with a bonus, they carry over to the bonus round!, And if any of your wilds are a huge multiplier wild like even a 10x let alone 50x or 100x it can start paying really nice!

and any 2 scatters in the base game awards a re spin Like the big bass games, and much more. a lot of suttle details you will notice as you play it. although 5 wilds is only 50x now. you can see why with the multipliers getting to 100x. At least 5 scatters still pay 2500x.
 
One thing that really annoys me is the scatter symbol no longer saying scatter or looks like a dead or alive scatter. Just looks very generic. i asked google ai to take doa 1 symbol and doa 2 symbol and combine them this is what it came up with.......

Its pretty bad but still better them some yellow bull symbol that doesnt even say scatter but says bonus instead. I know im knit picking haha.

ofc it can pay, every slot should be able to pay somehow^^. but its not even close to the 111.111x max win from doa 2.
and a sequel to the famous doa2 should atleast reach that number imo
 
Sometimes I just wish they made small simple improvements for sequels, add a bonus buy option or add more sound options/quick/turbo spins etc. Not every game needs a sequel that has even lower RTP with a huge max win. It seems like the days of new slots wth a 1000-5000x max win etc are long gone.
 
This is very true. I can only imagine how many people out there who have lost a tonne of money doing buys. Being reeled thinking it has to pay something but little do they know they are on 92% rtp .....and that low of rtp..you can quite literally play forever and not hit anything.
You were spot on with the 92% thing.

Im finding it everywere on all my casino accounts at 92.04% or 94 if your lucky,

Thanks the lords the uk player has slots temple as an option!

I havent checked the crypto casinos yet to see what there on. But if you are a U.K player trying to play this game your most likely playing on 92% (Be Careful)

Such a shame that theres like 2 options for the U.K player to play this game at a fair rtp. Shocking from net ent also for offering as low as 92%.

94% would of been shit but dont get me wrong, but 92% is taking the biscuit and the cheese.!
 
Its popping up everywhere on the lobby page of the casinos I play.

Made a deposit and thought to myself "If I get ahead by a few quid, I'll give it a quick go"

Yeah right, get ahead my arse. About the 20th super fast bust out since I got a decent amount in front, just gone 8pm and fuck all to do now.

Been a while since I ranted on here but its over now :o

Same - ive had to resort to spending quality time with Mrs W.
 
Ok after more research i have come to a few more conclusions regarding this game, I played it on normal 10p spins with nothing turned on and didnt even get a 2 scatters on the screen the whole 100 spins!

Im not joking!

This is when i knew i wasn't actually playing a Dead Or Alive game but instead a Red Tiger slot dressing up as a Dead Or Alive game. Anyone that has played Red Tiger games will know how hard the better ones are to bonus.

Expect that type of variance here i would say sadly.

This was on a U.K Casino with no extra bets. on the top rtp.


Totally different story on the crypto casinos however.

Played it on B.C Game with the extrabet on and was hitting bonuses every 10 spins near enough. even had b2b bonuses totally differnet game with the extrabet on. Ended up hitting around 15 bonuses in total!

Needed one more wild for 5 extra free spins about 5 times and it never landed. Ive also checked every video on Youtube and no one has hit the retrigger yet and uploaded it from what i have seen.

So basically if you play it in the U.K you sadly have very little to no chance.

Without the extrabet on, which you cant use in the U.K! you're fucked trying to land a bonus naturally basically. Enjoy waiting 300 spins for a bonus that pays 2 quid basically. and 99% of U.K casino's are running it at dog shit rtp's

And i had that super bonus tease re spin about 5 times also quite often teases the super bonus but never lands.

And last but not least, a Wildline now pays exactally the same as the Sherrif badge. So the whole point of getting Wildlines has lost its luster i would say. (This was a major part of the game smh)

And given its now got 21 lines. The odds of you getting all your wilds all to line up on the same excact line, is now way harder also and the odds esentially doubled! compared to older versions were you had half the lines.

What do you mean by this?
Is the game actually made by Red Tiger but published by NetEnt?

Also - played it earlier at Kwiff, landed a bonus quite quickly to be fair and won 108x bet, but otherwise it was shit.
Its a red tiger slot using the net ent art style, Red Tiger started working with Net Ent years ago. Thats why all the Net Ent games play and feel shit now.

And dont get me wrong its not terrible it just could of been better.

Its not like the other games before it though, i can pop a fiver in and play dead or alive 2 for hours most times with a few bonuses, and profit some times with lots of 2 scatter teases along the way.

You would be lucky to get a 1 tease for a bonus on this game with the exact same amount, stake, and spins played. Trust me!

Ive done over 50 bonuses on it now and still not seen the retrigger either.

Played it for a bit yesterday, $30 in, managed to get it up to $60 but after some 3 hours play busted. Played at $0.10 plus $0.10 extra bet.

Base game is brutal but the bonuses haven't been too bad. You need to be lucky and get some wilds from the bonus trigger carried over to the bonus and then landing the wild reel in the correct position. At some point during one of the bonus rounds, one of the wilds increased to 400x but it never connected for a win.

Biggest win was 300x (based on the $0.10 bet) and bonuses dropped in very frequently.

Did some super bonus buys on demo play and of the 20 bonuses, only 1 was over the purchase price, rest were a loss. None of the bought bonuses dropped wilds that carried over.

Will play it again but strictly at minimum bet.
