The problem here, is that there’s just so damn much of it, with most treasure chests requiring an absurd amount of koin to unlock. There are skins to be unlocked, secondary fatalities to be found and a whole host of other cosmetics to uncover to help you define your favourite character. On the surface, the idea of a dedicated level where players can explore the ruins of the original Mortal Kombat tournament and uncover treasure sounds like a delightful diversion This is where Mortal Kombat 11 makes a massive slip-up. Provided that you’re up for a long and lengthy walk throughout Shang Tsung’s island, where all those goodies are stored.
Are you a fan of Erron Black but you’d rather have him focus on twin-pistol shootouts and ditch his arsenal of acid bottles as a compromise? You can do just that, with every character in the massive roster featuring their own collection of attacks, skins and other cosmetic enhancements a’plenty. Retaining the variant system from X, Mortal Kombat 11 now also gives players the tools to further customise their chosen warrior according to their preferred playstyle. When compared to the 2015 incarnation, there’s a wealth of overt and covert changes to the formula, that positions Mortal Kombat 11 in a comfortable spot between casual bludgeon-fest and more serious professional fare. On the more mechanical side of the game, Mortal Kombat 11 feels like a wildly different beast. Minor gripes aside, if you were looking for a weekend of fisticuffs that’ll take around five hours to finish, then Mortal Kombat 11 has your back. Well, almost every one because as much star power as Ronda Rousey brings to the table, her skills are better suited to rearranging faces in the UFC octagon than they are in delivering an entirely okay performance as Sonya Blade that is quickly outshone by a far more talented cast. Once again, every actor cast is perfectly in their role. If Mortal kombat X proved that the series could spin a story that had plenty of heart to it, then Mortal Kombat 11 reinforces that idea with its own narrative that has pemty of moments that are both comical and tragic. It’s an idea where Mortal Kombat flourishes once again, combining Hong Kong action with Hollywood’s over the top style for theatrics, sci-fi themes with mystical Shaolin kung-fu adventure in a manner in which only Mortal Kombat can get away with. The stage is set, the warriors are ready to duel and all of time is at stake. Enter a blast from the past, as the goddess of time recruits past versions of some of Outworld’s mightiest conquerors to guard her. As powerful as she may be, Kronika realises that she’ll need an army of her own to keep Earthrealm at bay. With Raiden’s recent actions having thrown a massive spanner into her plan to keep all the realms in a state of perpetual conflict so that a sense of balance could be restored, Kronika embarks on a mission to create a new era of endless war.įinally aware of her manipulation, Raiden and the Earthrealm warriors find themselves drawn into a quest that merges the past and present together to create a new future. Kronika, god of eternity, has decided to reveal herself after having spent aeons in the shadows manipulating the sands of time and using them to shape destiny for anyone who was ever involved in the Mortal Kombat tournament. A tribute to the past and a brave step forward into the days that are yet to come, there’s only one apt descript for Mortal Kombat 11: It’s a klassic.
After having successfully rebooted itself in 2011 and then adding to that fire with a fuel tank of innovation in 2015’s Mortal Kombat X, what could Mortal Kombat 11 possibly do next? The answer is surprisingly simple, as Mortal Kombat 11 doesn’t reinvent its signature mousetrap of carnage, it doubles down on what makes it feel so unique and then polishes it up with a mirror shine that is blinding, to say the least.Īt the same time, Mortal Kombat 11 juggles numerous ideas, as it serves to not only end an era of rebirth, but it also creates a foundation for bold new beginnings and stories to take place in the future. After 26 years and ten core games, you’d think that Mortal Kombat would be running on fumes by now.
