    Hey Boon!

    You loved to troll us Mileena fans and make fun of us.
    Guess it's our time to return the favor!

    No Mileena = Not my game!

    It hurts that such a well-worked game is marred by the greed of abusive micropayments

    Only 25 characters in a 2019 MK game, without old school classics like Reptile, Mileena, Ermac, Rain, Cyborgs, Smoke or even some characters from MK4, Deception or Armageddon, and a possible list with DLC ones like Spawn and Joker, Terminator and Ash who are irrelevant to the MK universe while Injustice 2 is older and had more characters???? The worst roster of entire MK series. It's a shame

    I made an account just to say this: Do NOT buy this game!

    It is a disgrace to the Mortal Kombat Series (that I loved, especially MK9)

    There are plenty of other negative User Reviews so I do not feel I need to explain myself.

    Woke game with microtransactions,

    unlike the previous one which maintained some creativity when in came to character costumes and style, while also not locking contents behind a paywall. The recent move of gifting players in-game currency is not just insulting, but also an admission of wrongdoing. Fix the system. And Shao Khan as a day one DLC for those who did not preorder?

    unlike the previous one which maintained some creativity when in came to character costumes and style, while also not locking contents behind a paywall. The recent move of gifting players in-game currency is not just insulting, but also an admission of wrongdoing. Fix the system.
    And Shao Khan as a day one DLC for those who did not preorder? For 6 euros nonetheless. It's not like i didn't pay for the game full price on day one. 6 extra euros for a character who's part of the story and already in the game, really?
    Adding up to that the gear and customization system makes everything soulless. I would have very much preferred fixed costumes and skins with some more effort put into them instead of uninspired Blue Baraka.
    Also what's up with the female characters? I'm not a big fan of skimpy outfits as they were in MK9, but they could have at least made Jade the classic sexy character that she used to be back in the day. I mean, it used to be her gimmick, what's wrong about that? It feels like woke ideas messed up a game which did not have anything to do with politically correctness before. It's not insulting if you include one single barely dressed woman in the game, you know? Especially if being barely dressed and seducing was her character until two games ago.

    Regarding fatalities, it feels like they put effort just on the main ones, while secondary fatalities felt sub par. Brutalities would be nice, if you did not have to grind like a madman in order to get them.

    Regarding gameplay I think that's a matter of taste. I preferred more straightforward approach MK9 and X used to have.

    So sorry to see Mortal Kombat as it is now. I played every single chapter since UMK3, and I'm also a fan on the universe and lore, speaking of that...

    Closing with some pros:
    Nice story mode, I guess? The only really positive feature of the game that kept me entertained for a while. Nice cutscenes and approach, also nice fanservice. The rest can go.

    Better luck next time. It's my fault, after all, having bought a game as a long time fan without thinking twice just because of the franchise's name. Not happening next time.    … Expand

    It seems that this game was made for you to give them your wallet. Its the same as a free to play game business model. Don t buy it, there are other games that offers you more content without paying extra money.

    This game lost the MK scent. Too many microtransactions, too politically correct, too repetitive, bad story, the worst roost. Really dissapointing Netherrealm becomes even worse than EA. Don't waste your money in this stuff.

    very well made game ruined by greed. Companies really need to wake up. The consumer hates micro-transactions. I don't want micro-transactions in a game i payed for PERIOD. You want to pull this crap then make it free to play. Just looking at the micro-transactions makes me sick to my stomach.

    This game is the perfect presentation of the corporate machine in videogames: horrible and long grindings, paywalls, random rewards for your effort (also known as lootboxes, but they don't "use that word" here), terrible PC port with no support whatsoever and patches that make no difference.

    This game must be killed. This abomination is everything wrong with the videogame market nowadays.

    There is an awesome game in here but the only Mortal Kombat you will have, will be against the urge to use your wallet so you don't have to grind for years....it is unfortunate. Wait for a heavy sale if you are super interested in it.

    I'm honestly surprised WB hasn't found a way to monetize writing reviews by now. $6500 to get everything in the game? This is a mobile game you have to pay $60 for. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

    Don't buy now. Wait for GOTY edition / complete edition if you love Mortal Kombat. If you spend a single dime of RL money here you deserve it.

    Its a f*cking mobile game for 60 bucks!

    Graphics are totally outdated. MKX looks much better than this thing. Also the color scheme its too dark.
    Sound is terrible, Most soundtrack sounds like a superhero thing. MK its not that.
    Fatal Blow are beyond ridiculous. You could get your head stabbed three times and still keep fighting.
    I could keep going, but im already tired of this thing.

    Feels like a free to play mobile game made with an intention of taking your wallet under gun point. It's really shameful, 5 dollars for an alternative costume? Get out of here. Not buying any other NetherRealm or any Warner Bros game till this game is fixed. Really disappointed.

    Riddled with microtransactions and a grind wall. Great visuals and voice acting, but all the rest is a major turnoff. Netherrealm and WB is just out to get your money. Keep it in your pocket.
    Heavily feels like a mobile game.
    Censorship is also a concern. Ridiculous double standards where men are half naked but women are clothed to the neck. Gone are the days of Klassic Mortal Kombat.

    Game mechanics itself. Great. BUT THIS ABSURD TOWERS IS JUST A JOKE. It's an INSULT for HARD games. Hard = Spam 1 range combo because whole tower of enemies stun you every 2 sec when you move close to them. This is not Hard, this is just tiresome most boring way to gain ALMOST no prize at all. 20,000 Gold which you spend on 3 concept arts and 20 stupid power ups which is not needed at all.Game mechanics itself.

You want a normal Tower? Ok, sure. There you go. but you gonna make around 10,000 for an hour and that's not much at all. The grinding is INSANE. Want some cool gear for your best character. NOPE It's fully RNG. This is first time in my life I'm so angry at 1 game. I can accept enemies who have 3x more hp than you, flying rockets which you can just dodge or a boss who makes your screen fully black for 5 sec everytime he hits you. BUT STUNS EVERY 2 **** SECONDS when I can just watch how enemy take me 40% of my health with 1 big combo because i'm getting stuned in the air and after beating him i get another bs character with then FREEZ you instead of SHOCK and then another character who just BURN you to the ground. That's just ridiciolous at this point when i just throw at them **** for 1 hour and I'm getting insane. I'm Souls player, I know what fair-hard is. I know how it is like to fight 1 boss for 10 H and not getting angry because it's your foult.

    If is the eleventh installment really is the last Mortal Kombat for at least some time, then the developers part with it with dignity. Large number of fighters, great possibilities for editing them and great gameplay make the game one of the best fighter games of recent years. [Issue#295]

    Gorgeous visuals, accessible combat, and a gleeful sense of humour make this one of the most unabashedly fun fighting games around – and it’s packed with content. [Issue#163, p.93]

    Like the grisly cutscenes, Mortal Kombat 11 is fun as long as you don't think too hard or look too closely at it - but that's exactly where the real joy is found in a fighting game. If Mortal Kombat wants to elevate itself, it's time to start overhauling the skeleton underneath all that flesh. [Issue#333, p.110]
