The story in this game felt better than 9 and 10 but was executed terribly due to the whole time travel subject which the entire game focuses on.

Mk 11 review series#

Why the series needs a reboot is beyond us. Here is why and why we thought the story in this one was well putting it mildly a flop. However, after now having completed the story in 11 we are still confused. We at this point felt we where very clued up on everything. We also opted to watch and get up to date with the events of Mortal Kombat 9 and 10 too, prior to this games release. So we are familiar with the series to an extent coming into this game. We originally found out about Mortal Kombat from randomly watching Mortal Kombat Konquest on television once which I highly recommend even to this day. One game that we are very fond of is Shaolin Monks which may not be cannon but was enjoyable as a kid growing up.

We did grow up enjoying the original stories from the Arcade and PS2 games. Infact Mortal Kombat 11 was our first Mortal Kombat game that we managed to play in several years now but we where looking forward to it. We will admit we are not exactly that big on the whole series and universe compared to some people. Hardcore fans of the franchise will enjoy it, and more casual gamers will find it to be a solid rental.The story in this game covers a lot of time travel and it does do a lot to confuse you.

Mk 11 review Patch#

NetherRealm has addressed these complaints with a patch that adjusts the AI difficulty curve, among other things.ĭespite those difficulties, Mortal Kombat 11 will draw in players due to its stellar story and easy to grasp combat system. Similarly, the Krypt is meant to reward players as they travel through Shang Tsung’s island, but ultimately it ends up being a massive pile of loot boxes-some yield treasure, others yield trash. It took me the better part of two days to clear a particularly difficult Sub Zero fight. However, this often results in hours of grinding, and I do mean hours. The Towers of Time are a series of challenges designed to unlock power-ups for certain characters, known as Konsumables. While the Story mode is fairly straight forward, most fans, myself included, have had a problem with the Tower of Time mode and the Krypt. Kronika, in particular, has a nasty Fatality where she literally uses her powers to rip you apart and pull you back together again. With these and in true Mortal Kombat fashion, body parts are lopped off, bones snap and crack, and in some cases, the victims have literally been ripped apart. For example, while playing as Liu Kang, I used his Dragon Parry which consists of pressing up, down, and the X-button on the PS4. Fatal Blows are based on when your health hits 35% or lower while Krushing Blows are based on executing a certain set of moves. These latter two both require certain match conditions to occur. With that said, the gore is boundless as the signature Fatalities and Brutalities return, along with the new Fatal Blows and Krushing Blows. It’s very compelling stuff, especially for a game that’s mostly known for its gore content. As such, many characters are given new depth because in this installment, particularly Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion, who urges his younger self not to follow the same path of vengeance he did.īeyond him, we also see Johnny Cage’s daughter Cassie, who steps up as the leader of the Earthrealm Task Forces, and Raiden, who seeks to avoid the mistakes that his older self did. Alliances and betrayals abound as heroes from across time race to stop Kronika from achieving her goals.įighting games are usually not known for having a deep story, but MK11 and its predecessors MKX and Mortal Kombat 2011 have changed this by telling a story that spans time and deals with the impact of legacy-for good and for ill. This ends up pulling several Mortal Kombat characters from their time, where they come face to face with their future selves. This draws out the Elder Goddess Kronika (Jennifer Hale), who manipulates time in order to restore balance to the universe. The story, which immediately follows that of Mortal Kombat X, finds a corrupted Raiden (Richard Epcar) attempting to destroy all of Earthrealm’s enemies, starting with Shinnok. Playing through Mortal Kombat 11, especially the Story mode has only re-ignited the love I feel for this franchise. Later on, I discovered the first three Mortal Kombat games at a downtown arcade, and soon, I was officially hooked on the franchise. But the game that we played the most was Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, admittedly for the blood and gore. As the oldest of three brothers, I had to share a lot of my stuff and that included video games, which meant that our library of games mostly consisted of fighting games and JRPG’s. My favorite video game genre has to be the fighters.
