Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. is the second remastered version of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (also a remaster). This newer version stands out due to a number of previously unavailable features and a new graphics engine - Dragon Engine. It is the result of a collaboration between Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and SEGA AM2, both belonging to SEGA company.
In Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. we are participating in the V world fighting tournament. The best warriors from around the globe were invited and it was financed by the J6 organization. The company does not have particularly pure intentions - it intends to find the one who previously dared to free Vanessa, whom it had kidnapped, and also to test its new combat machine with human characteristics - V-Dural. It is our responsibility to thwart its plans for world domination, and consequently - to win the tournament.
In Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. we have 19 players at our disposal, varying in of gender, appearance and fighting style. Among them, we will find both fighters known from earlier parts of the series, as well as heroes introduced in Virtua Fighter 5 (Eileen and El Blaze) and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (Jean Kujo).
The heroes fight fierce duels in a variety of arenas located in picturesque sceneries, including snow-covered mountain peaks, a park at sunset, and a Far Eastern temple. The battlefields are not just a backdrop for exchanging blows. Their selected elements are interactive, and by breaking through fences or walls, we gain access to the next parts of a given location.
The combat system was developed in such a way that both players with no experience in fighting games and those who gained experience on previous parts of the series and other productions of this type could enjoy the fun.
Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. offers a wide range of game modes. We can participate in ranked matches, Arcade mode, and the training module. Besides, the game features a multiplayer Versus mode, in which we can compete with other players locally or over the Internet. The novelty is the ability to create private "rooms" for up to sixteen people and participate in League Matches and Tournament Matches, as well as watch the fights of other players.
Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. uses the Dragon Engine technology, developed for the games Lost Judgment. The change of engine resulted in improved graphic quality compared not only to the original Virtua Fighter 5, but also to Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. They include refreshed character models, arenas, and cutscenes. In addition, the accompanying gameplay soundtrack was expanded and improved.
PC version of the game, named R.E.V.O., was based on Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown from 2021. It differs from it with slightly refreshed graphics ing resolutions up to 4K, the addition of rollback netcode function, and gameplay balance improvements (also available in the original).

Game Ratings for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. / Ultimate Showdown Video Game.
WayTooManyGames: 7.5 / 10 by Leonardo Faria
In a way, this is easily the best version of Virtua Fighter 5 ever made. I love the crisp visuals, rock-solid performance, and I appreciate the brand new rollback netcode. I am, however, disappointed at how paultry the single player content is.
One More Game: 7 / 10 by Vincent Ternida
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. faithfully preserves the technical prowess of the 2006 title, now making it accessible to PC players eager to dive into the action. While the 30th Anniversary edition includes a plethora of additional content, those opting for the base version may find limited offerings for offline single-player mode. Nonetheless, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. caters to players seeking online competition against fellow enthusiasts, whether at home or on the go with the Steam Deck. The addition of rollback netcode is the biggest upgrade for this version, and it really does shine in online play.
Game8: 70 / 100 by Michael Gerra-Clarin
With its final balance patch and the addition of rollback netcode, SEGA is making a clear statement—Virtua Fighter is back, and it’s here to stay.
