Most fighting games have a paper-thin narrative just enough to justify making a bunch of characters battle it out. In case you haven't noticed, that's a lot of story.
#MORTAL KOMBAT 9 PC STORY MODE FULL#
Mortal Kombat is full of familiar events happening in fresh new ways, along with just enough twists and turns to make this story exciting again. Much like the Star Trek reboot, this new game takes some liberties with the story. We're given a large cast of familiar faces, nostalgic backgrounds and the same over-the-top fun we had back in the days of the arcade. This sets into motion a narrative that effectively retells the story of Mortal Kombat 1 - 3.
Earth's last hope is riding on Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Jax, Sonya and a handful of other rough and tough brawlers. He fears that if something isn't done, two realms will merge and humanity will be doomed for eternity. This vision hits Mortal Kombat 1 era Raiden, who realizes that he has to scramble and piece together a group of powerful fighters to protect the EarthRealm. Instead of starting over from scratch, the game has a conceit where a nearly defeated Raiden sends a message back to himself in the past. In a lot of ways, the new Mortal Kombat is a lot like J.J. By the end of the round each fighter looks completely torn apart, making this one of the most visually satisfying fighters I've ever seen. In fact, every punch, slash and stab leaves a mark. Mortal Kombat characters have always showered their opponents in blood, but now that gooey red stuff stays on the fighter. I found myself cringing while performing the x-ray attacks, some of them are as brutal as anything I've seen in this series.Īnother thing that helps sell the violence is the way the carnage sticks around. Thanks to the much-improved graphic engine, these powerful hits make an impact. On top of that, there's an "X-Ray" attack which shows us in vivid detail exactly what happens when we're hit, stabbed and set on fire by these murderous fighters. Mortal Kombat has a three-part power meter, which allows players to perform enhanced versions of each character's special moves. While much of the gameplay feels traditional, there are a number of additions that can really change the course of a fight. Best of all, the game's bone-crushing, blood-squirting, spine-ripping violence is as gruesome as ever, which should delight longtime fans of the series. All of the old characters, moves and secrets are back in this update. Despite the gorgeous 3D modeling, this brand new Mortal Kombat is a 2D fighting game through and through. In a lot of ways this is a return-to-basics reboot of the franchise name. That leaves this long-overdue port, well, inkomplete.īefore we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's discuss what Mortal Kombat is. Also missing is God of War's Kratos, an exclusive to Sony consoles.
Despite coming seventeen months later, this PC port doesn't include any of the extra modes, fatalities and challenge tower stages found in the PS Vita version. The real mystery is why it took Warner Brothers more than two years to release this exceptional fighting game on the PC.Īs the title suggests, this is a port of the same Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition released in 2012 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. With its impressive roster of characters, lengthy story mode, 300 level challenge tower and more secrets than you can dig up in a haunted graveyard, it's easy to see why Mortal Kombat became a hit with critics and successfully resurrected the aging franchise.
