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.

Plot

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.

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.
