The free version is a joke. 120GB+ for a training mode and 8 fights. Get that ♥♥♥♥ outta here.

After having bought and kompleted the game, I can say this is the worst MK game I've played since 11.

Somehow they've removed pretty much everything from the game. How did we go from Mortal Kombat, that had a story mode, arcade, versus, tag team versus, test your might, test your sight, test your luck, a krypt and probably some stuff I'm forgetting.

In Mortal Kombat 1, we have Story, 1v1 and some really crappy pseudo online game mode that relies on NetherRealms krappy online servers, so everything takes way longer to load than it should and if the servers decide to krap themselves then you'll get warning messages telling you not to quit or cancel otherwise your progress won't be saved. (with an error message that's not spelt correctly) All in service to krappy microtransactions. There's now somehow 6 different currencies between Koins, Seasonal Koins, Invasion Koins, Fatality Tokens, Kameo Tokens and the premium kurrency.


The Krypt no longer exists. Now we have a slot machine that gives you random gear, even for kharacters you don't own because why wouldn't you want gear for kharacters you don't own and speaking of kharacters you don't own. Why are the two main villians of the game locked behind a paywall?

The story speedruns itself into needing a new reboot. I don't know how they managed it but they did. Too many deus ex machinas that just get pulled out of people's arses.

I'm not sure if I've become too desensitised but all of the fatalities are kind of bland? They all seem to be decapitating each other or just exploding into gibs.

The good?

I don't really know. I guess it's nice to see some changes in the new timeline but they're usually pretty token, the dead forest is now the living forest until it changes two fights later back to the dead forest.
