    If you're looking for more Mortal Kombat, Aftermath will undoubtedly satiate your bloodlust for a short period of time, but it feels overpriced for what it actually offers. Of course, your mileage will vary, but for now it's more of an already excellent fighter – just not much more.

    If nothing else, Aftermath is a must-play for both newer fans of the modern Mortal Kombat narrative and old-school fans who enjoyed the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie. While there have been offshoot projects like the Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge movie that released earlier this year, Aftermath's story shows once again that there are no better tellers of the Mortal Kombat lore than the NetherRealm team themselves.

    Die hard fans of MK should definitely consider picking Aftermath up. The campaign is short but sweet and the new characters are fun to experiment with. It really just depends on your wallet.

    Worst story we've ever had in this franchise. Pathetic roster. Awful single player content and progression with god damn RNG and failedWorst story we've ever had in this franchise. Pathetic roster. Awful single player content and progression with god damn RNG and failed concept of towers of time (lol someone actually thought that consumables and modificators is a good idea lmao). AI battle (no comments. A mode for those who hate to play this game so much that they let it play for itself. And I thought I bought a full-fledged console game, not a freaking mobile crap).

    This game is one of the worst in a franchise right there with MK4 (just for different reasons). Year passed since release of this **** yet the game is still unfinished bullcrap. I hate developers of this ****ass game with big passion.    … Full Review »

    Totally overpriced and full of microtransactions. If you don’t have it, wait to the komplete edition or for a sale. The game is gorgeous, butTotally overpriced and full of microtransactions. If you don’t have it, wait to the komplete edition or for a sale. The game is gorgeous, but too way violent and quite absurd: all girls are full dressed and all men are half-naked. The script is decent for a fighting game, the combat is OK, not near as Street Fighter, but is OK. New additions doesn’t justify the pricing and almost an insult for the people who paid 100 bucks, because they (the studio) decided to charge like a new game this DLC. It’s a shame that a good game now is reduced to a money beggar, like a cell game. This was my last MK at day 1. Next iteration, surely I will wait for a sale. Not a good way to treat your loyal customers / fans. NetherRealm / Warner: You’re killing Mortal Kombat. A good thing: Friendship finishers are beautiful and they’re very funny.… Full Review »

    love MK, really like MK11 and that's why i shelled out around $100 to get the top tier package at release. Now i'm supposed to shell outlove MK, really like MK11 and that's why i shelled out around $100 to get the top tier package at release. Now i'm supposed to shell out another $40 for 3 new characters and some stupid story in a fighting game? This seems to be the new standard with the AAA studios now, season passes that don't cover all the planned content and micro transactions to boot. aaaaand it 5 months we'll be able to buy the "ultimate" edition with all the Kontent, 5 five months after that the ultimate version will be on sale on steam for $20 and i'll feel like an ass hat again....
