![]() Time Towers are tricky and require a basic-to-good understanding of the game to avoid dying at the word go. Klassic Towers are much like the original games, offering rewards and game endings for the character you complete the tower with. Now, there are different towers to chose from Online Time Towers offer events to complete within the given time before another event starts. Towers are a string of fights in which you must make it from the bottom to the top, defeating a certain amount of characters and earning rewards for your troubles. Moving on from story mode leads us to the towers. Playing through the story mode casually offers rewards and cosmetics, so I’d advise starting with this mode first and foremost, as it’s a good introduction as to how each character works, and often gives you at least a sense of familiarity and insight. The story mode also, at certain points, gives you the chance to choose which character you’d like to fight as within certain situations, as most the time you always have someone else with you tagging along through the plot. Of course, fan favorites are present and accounted for Baraka, Raiden, Skarlet, Scorpion, Sonya Blade, Sub-Zero and the rest. Outside of returning faces, the game also introduces new characters, such as Geras who comes across more like a brick wall than a character – a powerful and loyal servant of Kronika. The story itself is well written and brings up old characters from the franchise, some of which are not even playable…yet. Along this journey time will overlap and in doing so, fighters from the past and present will meet and scrap for what they believe to be the right cause. ![]() That being time itself in the form of a new female foe, Kronica, who can alter and shift time to her liking, and create new paths or erase existence altogether via a giant hourglass. The story of MK 11 introduces a new type of disturbance in the MK universe. The basic modes for now story and towers. Mortal Kombat has several modes to earn money and other currencies to buy more items and cosmetics. At first, everything can seem a little overwhelming but we’ll break it down and hopefully give you an idea on making MK a little easier to understand. It sounds technical, but it’s not so bad once you see it for yourself. Depending which action you use, the bars will drain, but will refill again by hitting or blocking regular attacks. Using the controller’s right bumper, you can either use these bars to deflect or make an attack stronger during the middle of a combo to cause more damage or break a combo, depending on the scenario. You now have two new bars in the bottom corner of the screen, one for attack and one for defense. MK 11 does, however, have a few tricks up its sleeve when compared to its immediate predecessor. It’s a side view 2.5D fighting game with lots of blood, entrails, and gore, and still to this day, the same gameplay methodology exists. Mortal Kombat, as aforementioned, needs no introduction. The ability of pushing someone’s face into a blade or even ramming them full pelt into spikes – piercing their eyeballs, is quite satisfying from a twisted point of view, and will keep players thinking “Shit, that’s F’cked up” for a good while yet to come. MK 11 is packed full of face smashing, leg ripping, nut punching power, and doesn’t at all hold back. That said, really, any fan of the series knows what to expect from an MK game, and thus, expect from this review.īeing a huge fan of gory greatness, it’s nice to see that NetherRealm brought a lot to the table on this front once again. Over this time, the series has forgone many changes, from 3D trends to the 2.5D worlds we see mostly today. Mortal Kombat originally released back in 1992 on many consoles of its generation, and has since captivated players, and adapted and grown for just over 25 years now, yet still offers that iconic over-the-top violence that we know and love. No introduction is needed for the major hit series from NetherRealm Studios, this marking their 11th main installment in their long line of gruesome, blood-soaked fighters. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Mortal Kombat is back. ![]() Those were 500 dollar sunglasses asshole, says Johnny Cage. This is an M-rated game, and has been reviewed as such. That being said, the thoughts and impressions within this review are completely independent. for providing a copy of Mortal Kombat 11 for the use of this review.
