Pretty fun fighting game

I love the Mortal Kombat games, I don't give a crap about the story, it's fun knocking people's heads off.

And this game is no different, the moves and fatalities are unbelievable.

My only complaint is one of the final battles is way too hard, I can't beat it.

Still love the game though.

Yet another solid entry

It doesn't reinvent the wheel of the franchise, but this is yet another great and polished entry in the legendary franchise. If you like fighting games I don't see how you could dislike this.

Great Combat System, Overly Complex Storyline

Best out there!

Realistic graphics, addition of popular characters, more gruesome Wallpaper-making fatalities, and excellent fights. Its complexity and loads of different things you can do makes it truly amazing. Negative reviews in this aspect can't stand a little difficulty. Story is not as good as the previous ones, but not as bad as people make it. For most fans and newcomers, it should be a delight to play!!!

27 years later, still the best fighting game made in America...

When Mortal Kombat first came out in 1992, it was controversial at the time yet became a game changer in an era of fighting games that began with Street Fighter II and has evolved to include Tekken and others from around the world. Nowadays you can play MK online and beat friends.

BRUTALITY AT IT'S BEST

Best Mortal Kombat in the series by far. Real life characters and great story mode. The Krypt is huge compared with previous games. Amazing stuff! !!

TOP SHELF GAMING!

I've been an MK fan ever since the original arcade! This game truly honors the legacy of these characters and the gameplay is absolutely incredible! There's so much you can do! All I can say is... FINALLY!

Great Entry

Fantastic story mode with great cinematics, Towers of Time mode constantly keeps new challenges coming, and the Krypt will keep you busy if you want to unlock everything. Wonderful addition to the series.

Fun but too complex

A great disappoint when compared to MK9 and MKX. I enjoyed the story fair enough (good but not great), but everything else is a bit lack-luster. The combat is too different from the other games to feel natural to a older player. They also intoduce a million different currencies that add a far too complex kyot that makes it confusing to unlock anything. simply too much going on to be enjoyable I prefer the more streamlined and focused a design f the previous games. Sad to have waited years to get Spawn in a modern nighting game and to finally get it I'm a game I don't like playing. Should have been in Injustice 2...

An Epic Story

Ignore the bad reviews. I don't understand how "fans" of the series can play the other games then say this one suck. I have played every mortals kombat btw. The story alone is enough reason to buy the game, its incredibly epic with an extremely satisfying ending. The fatalities are filled with gore as always but a lot more creative than MK10. This game to me has been better than the last 2 Mortal Kombats although I loved 9 this one takes the cake in my eyes. But if anything this game just makes those 2 better because of how well it ties them all together. If you truly love mortal kombat then this game will fulfill your every need for vicious epic conquest.

A Good Fighting Game

The new Mortal Kombat game is heading our way next month and I have to say that I am really excited for it. In prep, I have been playing the recent games and I have just played Mortal Kombat 11 and completed enough to review it. Though, I haven't played the expansion Aftermath as I will be doing a separate review for it. So after completing the story and most of the side activities here is my review for Mortal Kombat 11. The premise of the game sees 2 years after the defeat of Shinnok, Raiden has been putting the offence onto the realms that oppose Earthrealm. But this draws the ire of the Titan Kronika and sees kombatants from different eras clashing to protect their future.

Characters After my complaints about Mortal Kombat X it is great to see Liu Kang be pushed to the forefront here. Bought in as a younger version of the character, I really liked seeing Earthrealms champion be given the spotlight again and playing as him was enjoyable and seeing his development is one of the highlights of the game.

Kitana was another character who was misused in MK X but by showcasing her younger version of the character it really works. She is seen as this leader and is way more then a damsel which I think she has been portrayed before. Her whole story is up there for most interesting part of the story.

After the events of MKX Sub Zero and Scorpion are now allies and watching them work together and have this friendship is one of my favourite parts of the game. Their characters have been developed over the last few games and it is cool to see.

But the problem is that pretty much the rest of the cast aren't given much to work with or are misused.

Cassie Cage was the main character in the last game, but after the first chapter, I feel like she is given little to do and the stuff she is given is pretty dull.

They even recast Sonya Blade as UFC Legend Ronda Rousey and she is terrible in this role. She just doesn't fit the character and all I can hear is the person and not the character they are supposed to be playing. The actress from the previous game was good and it would have kept for a consistent tone amongst the character.

Kronika herself is the villain and she is a terrible villain. Her motivations are all over the place and the voice performance by the excellent Jennifer Hale is not enough to save it. She doesn't really do anything and she continues a trend of weaker villains.

Certain characters get wasted to such as Shao Khan and Erron Black and I wish the game would do better with characters like these.

Story The story is not good here. There are some really promising moments but I just feel like those moments are kind of wasted by decisions they make later on in the story. The most frustrating thing is that the promise that we were going to see Evil Raiden is totally ignored and forgotten about, it all happens off screen and that is incredibly frustrating. The whole game relies on time travel and it breaks its own rules throughout, things make no sense and becomes confusing. Overall, this story is really poor and I hope the next game is written way better then this one.

Side Content Similar to previous Mortal Kombat games, this game has many towers that are fun and challenging in their own ways. There are modifiers added to some of these to add even more challenge to the game. There is also the towers of time, these are updated regularly which is impressive considering the game was released 4 years ago, they are towers with themes and gives gear for specific characters. The krypt is back as an interactive game to get unlockables and it is a fun little game that I am glad they added. Plenty to do here and that is before you get to online which I am not very good at but there is plenty to do there.

Gameplay The gameplay has been developing over the past few games and it is great here. The special moves feel so appropriate for the characters. The gameplay flows really nicely and each character feels unique and that makes it really enjoyable. It was changed that X-Rays are gone and replace by Fatal Blows, these could only be accessed when your character is in the final 25% of your health. At first I didn't like this, but I grew to see the benefits and how it can clearly swing a match. Fatalities are still here and this is the most brutal it has ever been, they are so creative and violent that it sets out this game to others.

Graphics Whether you like the game or not, there is no doubt that this game is beautiful. The graphics are incredible, the character designs are top notch and there are so many options for different costumes. Every level looks great and the arenas have their own nuances and actions going on in the background. The cutscenes look great, even if the content isn't particularly good which raises it slightly higher due to how many cutscenes there are.

Overall Overall, Mortal Kombat 11 is a good game. The gameplay is fantastic and it is a fun game. Skip, the story mode and just play the side content and you will be in for a great time.

Disappointing

So disappointed the roster sucks and the put zero effort into making the old fans happy while giving new fans something cool the attacks to me feel sluggish for some reasons and this game right now is below my usual mortal kombat standards it sucks bad don't buy just stick with the old games for example 25 characters are you kidding me right now 25 really ? Now take a look at a mortal kombat game that's more than 10 years old mortal kombat armageddon the roster is like 65 or something are you kidding me your saying that a game from ten years ago and have 60+ characters and a modern game only has 25 pathetic dude.

Best fighting game ever !!!

This game is the best fighting game I've ever played ! It's like they took everything that was great in MKx with some of the features from Imjustice 2 and made this amazing game. I loved everything: the story, the characters, the online, the customization, ... Everything !

Good but lack of dynamics punch

I enjoyed the game and love the violent style but i found the game pretty slow in the way he did combo and multiples punch. It lack of dynamics clearly. I enjoyed the finisher also but for me it lack of something in the gameplay it lack of dynamics.

Fun fighting game

4 out of 5 stars.

Mortal Kombat 11 delivers another fun fighting game continuing the storyline from the last game. I love how the story is laid out with the characters. Without going into detail with Kronika. Who is a villain and alternating timelines. The story and cutscenes are awesome. I love the graphics and detail. The game play is fun and the combos are easier to manage with this game. The controls are easy. I played this game on the ps4. I did find some characters that fight the same people repetitive.

Overall, Mortal Kombat 11 is fun. Bloody. And awesome with its storytelling.

Nintendo Switch Review

So think Mortal Kombat 11 on the Nintendo Switch is great. There are a few problems about the game. When I go into towers it sometimes lags The game may lag a few times but overall I think the Nintendo Switch version is great. The graphics may not look the best but I think they're alright. Overall I think it's a good game

It has fatal flaws but it's still a great game

Mortal Kombat 11 is definitely one of the best Mortal Kombat games but it's not perfect in any way the story mode is all right but it's not better than 9 but the fighting is perfection .The only big problem the game has is the grinding with the gear and the towers but overall is definitely one of the best games of 2019 and one of the best fighting games
