    An incompetent schlock riding on the coat tails of better games of the past to deliver an uninspired mess full of grind, micro-transactions and lacking in sex appeal and character design. Should have been a mobile release, for free, at best.

    The story of this game is the worst in the series, I'd even go as far and say that MK Special Forces has a better story than this installment. Aside from that filled to the brim with MTX, questionable decisions in terms of roster and Outfits for the characters.

    Better wait for it to go on sale or skip it all-together.

    Microtransactions, lameass story, and endless grind are more brutal than the game itself. And not really feeling the new "Fatal Blow" mechanic either, makes it feel dirty and cheap.

    They couldn't have done worse with this game. I was really interested when it was first announced since it seemed to be the best game of the franchise, but I can't stand all the politics around this game. Microtransactions, monetization everywhere, online required for offline things... It's awful and I can't forgive these things, specially in an incomplete game of 60 $.

    Let me first say I generelly like Mortal Kombat and was always a big fan. I liked MK 9, even 10 (to a lesser degree) but this... this really is unacceptable. I was dead set on buying this game when I first saw the trailer, but then I remembered Injustice 2. This game is everything that's wrong with gaming today.

    Sistema de monetización abusivo y casi obligatorio para conseguirlo todo. DLCs. Lo de que requiera conexión permanente para cosas offline es simplemente rastrero. Lo tenían todo para hacer el mejor juego de la saga pero estas medidas para sangrar al usuario son imperdonables.

Instead of scummy practices like forcing you to just buy everything, which would honestly be preferable because at least you can just get what you want, you instead have to buy currency and still go through this grind. It's crazy, and it justifies a 0 score because this is unacceptable, anti-consumer garbage that took the wind out of my sails. I've been a fan of Mortal Kombat since 1996, and here I am saying this has killed all my interest. I was someone voraciously checking the updates on this game day after day, and now I really just feel depressed.… Expand

    Absolute garbage, pay2win, a total waste of money. Why?
    1. Predatory monetization: Extremely grindy in an unfair way designed to make you spend real money.
    2. Missing fan favorite characters like Smoke, Reptile, Mileena etc.
    3. SJW/Feminist/Political agenda forced into the game

    This is a great game. I do not understand the hate.
    It is one of the handful of fighting games that bothers to integrate a story mode. I won't pretend it is the greatest story ever told, but it is interesting enough, animated well and has clearly had money thrown at it for its approx 4 hour length.

    Yes, currently the item collecting is a little grindy. I don't feel any incentive to pay for things though.. if you were playing the old MKs you would be doing playthroughs for player endings and just enjoying the game. You do the same here except there are the towers of time that mix things up, dragon challenges which can change your fight and also the extensive and informative tutorial that is needed for beginners in modern fighting games. There is plenty to do, we don't need access to everything right away. With some adjustments the Towers of Time will be awesome.

    It feels like people who seriously complain want to have their cake and eat it. As I have said, it is slightly too grindy for items at the moment (which they are due to address) but the game is literally just out. It is no wonder the video games business gets annoyed when people are screaming out against micro transactions but on the other hand don't want to put in a reasonable time for things... it is currently 24th, a day after the regular release date. The RNG does suck, Im sure theyll fix it.

    The roster isn't for everyone either, but I appreciate some original characters. The story is a bit different rather than a rehash, they are bound to add some of the favourites in later. The different loadouts for characters is also great and means a single character can play massively different to another. It encourages exploration and creativity, I like it.

    Some people are on the fence about the new character designs. I like most of them, some of the characters less so but then I am less bothered about those characters anyway, e.g. baraka. the female characters are outright cool and different to each other as they should. I am certainly not being wistful about the time when they all had basically milennas build, and fake breast shape with different coloured bits of fabric on and different heads. These characters are written well and the model designs are great, the outfits are badass- I do not know what the fuss is about. People seem to miss the sexuality thing, Milenna was the starkest example of this and shes not in the roster anyway. The only thing I've noticed (might be wrong) is that several of the models noses look exactly the same (you notice during crushing blows). A small complaint really.

    Do people not think Netherrealm are a bit "damned if they do, damned if they don't"? They are telling a new story, it is going to need new characters so it isn't a rehash. I'm pretty certain if they did not mix it up a bit people would be moaning it is stale.    … Expand

    Mortal Kombat 11 might have been a decent game, but it is hidden behind AWFULLY DISGUSTING monetization scheme and grindwall. This is greedy and plain immoral. Add SJW BS propaganda and game designed to make you lose and pay. This game is a WASTE of time.

    - The setup is very poor. 3-4 suits and each about 5-6 colors. What the hell? BlazBlue or Guilty Gear is allowed to change the character's coloring as you like, you don't need to grind your character to look like a clown.

    10 millions copies of MK X are not enough to make a MK game true to its fan base. MK11 is a grind nightmare that forces micro-transactions and always online requirement even in single player to top it of.

    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]

    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]
