I thought I was jaded to violence in games, but maybe it is just me ageing, but some of the gore is a bit too much for some people. Naturally, the game looks great, blood and guts have never looked more gross, in a good way. I really appreciate a story that has a “bad guy” that has a logical goal and how some people follow their reasoning and other abhor it. Kronica, a time lord wants to reset the timeline to prevent Raiden from his warpath and she recruits all of Raiden’s enemies as well as his previous lost allies, convincing them this is the best way to right the wrongs of the past. You can skip the video if you just want to fight, but you will be missing out on a great story. The combat choreography in the rendered scenes are superb, more so when you consider how many fights feature and each one is unique and tailored to the character and their fighting style.
Mk 11 review series#
Roughly a 5 hour campaign that is split in 2 parts which takes you through many story angles with at least half of the player roster and you see almost everyone from the series in the expertly crafted cutscenes.įights blend near seamlessly from cutscene to gameplay and it all works so well. So, for MK11 the bar was high and the developers only had themselves to compete against. I once lauded Mortal Kombat for having the best story mode in a fighting game, and to this day, no other fighting game comes close. You could play this game for a year and not unlock everything. Not only are there loads of characters to choose, but each one also has tonnes of customisation unlockables from skins to finishing moves. Somehow the developers were able to keep the game fresh with all the additional content, and there is a lot of it. The violence and levels of blood always distinguished MK over the likes of Tekken and Street Fighter, but has the recipe finally gone stale?
However, Rambo actually was my favorite of the new trio to use for his versatile and unique move set.Mortal Kombat is one of the rare franchises that survived the 16-bit era and five console generations later it is still going strong. There were a lot of people that weren’t exactly that excited about the announcement of Rambo when others like Reptile still hasn’t been added. Each of these characters play very differently from one another, with all three being really enjoyable to use. These three characters are two much requested series veterans with Mileena and Rain, along with the very unexpected Rambo.

There are plenty of unlocks to find here as well, which you will also probably have to really work for.īesides the previous content, one of the big selling points of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is the inclusion of three new DLC characters within Kombat Pack 2, which you can still download separately. This version of the Krypt from Mortal Kombat 11 is better than ever before and adds a level of exploration and puzzle elements to the game in some unique ways. Mortal Kombat 11’s Krypt is also back just as it was before in this release. Without spoiling, there are some really neat moments late in the game that are some of the best in the series involving characters like Liu Kang and Raiden. This allows for a lot of really cool moments with the characters, whether it’s the funny scenes with the younger and much more egotistical Johnny Cage or some serious ones with characters like Scorpion. This is where the past literally meets present, when the timelines of the two end up being brought together, leading to there being two versions of characters like Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero.
The story in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate begins with Dark Raiden destroying Shinnok, which leads to Shinnok’s mother Kronika, the keeper of time, to rewrite history and cause an entire mess a few years later where the story picks up. This is largely because the story ends up meshing the past and present and did not leave as much room to focus on those characters. Cassie and Jacqui play prominent roles in the story yet again, though both Takeda and Kung Jin are no-shows. The story picks up after the events of Mortal Kombat X, where a younger generation of fighters were introduced to carry on the legacy on top of the still active classic fighters.

Mortal Kombat 11 once again proved that NetherRealm is the best in the business when it comes to having a story mode for a fighting game, which has the full experience included in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate. One of the core elements of the Mortal Kombat series is that of an interesting story with the familiar cast of characters.
