No skill required because everyone can be in same level all you have to do just spawn same thing over and over ! I enjoyed mkx far better than mk 11 . Game graphics and story is better than other mk games. Grinding in this game another level of story . Each tower takes minimum 20 minutes to clean up . If you want unlock chests in krypt you have to grind hours and hours in tower of time to unlock chests . This game makes everything so terrible it will take your days and days unlocking skin, gear , taunts, brutalities, fatalities and many more ! . This is fighting game and they should be focusing on character fighting mechanic not on grinding . Which they cant deliver it to me so this game earn 1 out 10 from me! Expand

    Thats all the characters even with dlc? There should be a lot more characters. Where is Smoke, Rain, Tremor? I’ve played since the first but if you don’t bring back Smoke, not Triborg, I’m done.

    Lets talk online play. One of the most unbalanced games going. Why have a whole roster when 90% of people are going to be playing the same few overpowered characters over and over. MK now promotes all day zoning. I'm sick of fighting Erron Blacks. About 50% of my fights are vs Erron Black. How diverse.

    The krushing blows and fatal blows are so unbalanced from character to character. The same few characters, i'm talkin erron and cassie in particular, are used to zone you to death, but they also get fast rush down attacks too! And be in no doubt, you will get teabagged to death by people who beat you with their top tier characters.

    This game needs a balance- FAST. I love sub zero, i'm not giving him up for an OP character. But i am giving the game up until something is done. MK11 promotes dirty play, and with it comes dirty sportsmanship. Poke mashing, throws, jumping all over the place, zoning are rewarded far too much. How can they go from MKX to this rubbish?

    Take Jade, yeah, she's got no combos, cuz MK11 doesn't like combos. Instead she gets zoning tools to keep you at full screen, but she also gets to make herself immune to projectiles! What fun. And if u start creeping in? She got a fast shadowkick and a godlike d2 to put u right back.

    I sound salty i know, and yeah i guess i am. But this game is one of the most unfair fighting games i've ever seen.

    Now what about offline gameplay? Grind much? I want to play other people, not stupid AI over and over again until I can eventually get some brutalities. I don't even care that much about the skins, but if you want them, you're gonna have to earn them.

    Also as I mention brutalities - what the hell happened to these!? The ending screen to the fight is dark and laggy, and makes the brutalities seems pathetically tame compared to the big explosions MKX had. Some of the brutalities don't even work half the time even though you meet the in-match requirements. And you have to grind for hours to unlock them as well.

    Sort your life out NRS, I am utterly disappointed. I'm giving it 2/10. The 2 comes from the graphics. The rest gets a fat zero.

    Why have you spoiled the NRSs? For 8 years you were inventing a mechanic and everything was not bad. You had the experience to correct your mistakes. But you threw away all the old mechanics and for some reason came up with new ones. They made everyone two attacks on awakening and that's good. But why did you add a get-up roll? This adds even more unnecessary guessing to the game. ComboWhy have you spoiled the NRSs? For 8 years you were inventing a mechanic and everything was not bad.

But why did you add a get-up roll? This adds even more unnecessary guessing to the game. Combo breaker was the perfect mechanic. But the new mechanics which it replaces are not needed at all. Throws the dumbest mechanics in the game. This is a very big distance. And throws can counter the pokes. Throws do too much damage. You constantly guess what your opponent will hit. Beat, throw back or throw forward. Fatal strike is a very cheap option. It works badly. Because some characters have a very good, long and fast fatal blow, but someone does not. Scorpion, Jax and Errron have very fast and long fatal blows. It is very difficult to control. And Cetrion and Noob have very slow fatal blows that are difficult to use. In the mechanics of the game too much unnecessary guessing. Again you made a very bad balance. Scorpion is a universal character. He has a very fast teleport. Therefore, you should always guess whether it will cancel the teleport or not. And what he will press after him. Teleport just controls the whole game. He has too good mid attacks that prevent him from playing neutral. Therefore, there are too many Scorpion online. Erron Black has too many good attacks. Booth drop is a very long blow. It can anti-air and you can guess whether your opponent will hit the boot drop or slide. This thee doooooor series of punches which does not allow to play in neutral. It just interrupts all other attacks and anti-air. Talk about balance in Mortal Kombat 11 can be long. For example, why Noob saibot needs two teleports if he is zoning character. Kombat League is made poorly. Why there is no qualification in the Kombat league? Why for a player who ranks higher than me? Why is it not possible to refuse each player to the battalion commander? It is still impossible to play online with players on wi-fi. They lag very much. I understand that for you now the most important thing is to sell DLC. But all experienced fighting players hate your game. Try to fix at least something in it. Expand

    Now characters has no ability to run.

    You just took character, took his moves set, separated it to 2 different sets and called it "Styles".

    Well. Honestly dunno why such bad reviews. Honestly, really liked that game. Microtransactions. Idk who ever going to buy time krystals to buy skins. Honestly, almost didn't spend them. Don't forget - that is FIGHTING! Are you playing this game to fight or look at skins 24/7? Fight system is pretty good. Buy game to play! Not to watch at fighters and their customisation. That's all.

    I didn't complete story mode, I won't be playing MK11 as a casual game like I do very often with MKXL, I won't be recommending this game to anyone and honestly I wish I could be refunded.

    I'm worried about the future of MK and Injustice.

    NetherRealm is following the wrong path.

    I decided to buy MK11 at the release day and ever since I am playing it. What is definitely good here is graphics. The game looks awesome. There is a huge step up comparing it to its predecessor MKX.
    The roster looks kind of fresh: along with all-time-guaranteed characters like Raiden and Liu Kang, some characters made their long-waited return: Skarlet, Nightwolf, Noob Saibot etc.

    What is really good is the Towers of Time, which give you lots of unlockable content, gear, skins, augments, koins etc. The Towers are being updated every day, some of them are available only for couple of hours. Every time you have a match, be sure that you will gain something (game currency: hearts, souls and koins).
    Another great improvement is the Krypt. Now it looks like an integrated strategy game, which gives you a lot of options. There are so many things to discover in the Krypt that even after 6 months of playing it, you do not know all the secrets hidden in the Krypt. Just as like in previous series, you can unlock there some gear parts, skins, intros, fatalities, brutalities, taunts and much more. If you are tired of endless fights, you can easily switch to the "classic strategy RPG", which in offered in the Krypt.
    What I was not very happy about is Kombat Pack. Once it was announced along with Shang Tsung being released as a first DLC character, it drew my attention and I have pre-ordered the whole pack. It turned out, that the pack I am paying for, is nothing more than just a new level of marketing. NRS decided to add Joker and Terminator because there are movies scheduled to release this year. So they just wanted to promote the movies through adding these characters to the game. I would not mind it, if I was not paying for it.
    Personally I do not like guest characters (this is only my opinion). If I wanna play as Joker, I will get my Injustice 2 game and then I have some great fights. While buying Mortal Kombat, I like to see actually Mortal Kombat characters. There is still no Mileena, no Reptile, no Kenshi, no Rain, no Ermac and no Sheeva, but we have Joker and Terminator.
    Apart from that, the game looks pretty good and it is fun to play. About the microtransaction: there are not so many things you could do with actual money in this game. Should you grind? Sometimes. Should you pay? Nope.

    If you read nothing else, the professional reviews are more accurate than the childish user reviews. Solid 8/10.

    The good:
    MK11's main attraction is it's competitive multiplayer. It's now a more tactical game than based on pure aggression, and to me that's a welcome change.

    The first major change is addition by subtraction - removal of the run button. If you liked extending combos with run cancelling then this will be a negative for you, but as someone who primarily plays online multiplayer where ping over 50ms ruins your ability to use this mechanic consistently, I welcome the change.

    Second, there are two special gauges - one for offense and one for defense. The offensive one works similar to MKX's enhancements, whereas the defensive one is used for get-up moves (the MK11 replacement for combo breakers) and environmental interactions. Both gauges refill with time and not aggression, further lending the game to its more tactical nature: you can use zoning techniques with some characters to wait out your meter refill.

    Third, there are krushing blows - moves that cause extra damage if performed with the right requirements. For example, use Liu Kang's dragon kick as a punish and you'll get a krushing blow. Counter a standing move with an uppercut and you get a krushing blow. Krushing blows only activate once per 'type' per match, so you want to use them at the right time.

    Finally, there is the same comeback mechanic as in MKX, except this time it's limited to once per match. In other words, if you use it to squeak out a win in round 1, you won't have this available to you in round 2.

    The roster has a diverse set of characters that will suit anyone's playstyle, even if some fan favorites are missing.

    The meh:
    Some of the character's costume redesigns have details that don't quite look right. No, I'm not talking about the complaints that the female characters don't look like throwbacks to the trannies-in-lace getups of MK9, I'm talking about the ninja character's loose hoods that would obfuscate their peripheral vision (Scorpion, Noob, Jade, Skarlet), the fact that Cassie Cage now looks like a backup dancer in the Backstreet Boys video "Larger than Life" and lost most of her sass, and Kano's recessed chin and constant **** eating grin makes him look much less imposing as king of the underworld bad guy.

    Despite the fact that each character has over 16 'skins,' they are mostly palette swaps, so you're pretty much stuck with what the game gives you. But hey, at least Sub-Zero no longer looks like Bob Vila.

    If you are a completionist who wants every skin and piece of concept art, the game is going to keep you busy doing repetitive tasks for a LONG time.

    The bad:
    The game offers the ability to customize your characters' attributes with gear, special moves, etc., which is a new feature to MK11. The downside is that aside from the fact that these custom builds can't be used in competitive play, they constitute the vast majority of items locked in the Krypt. If you're sold on MK11 because of the promise of unprecedented character customization, you'll be disappointed to learn that it's going to take a lot of grinding to unlock these features.

    If you play MK for the story (if so, I question your sanity), you'll also likely be disappointed. After ret-conning the first 3-4 games in MK9 and killing a bunch of characters off in the process, and then fast-forwarding the story 20+ years to retcon the next 4 entries where all the classic fighters are middle-aged, the only way to advance the story would be to drop the classic characters and turn the roster over entirely to the new generation of Earthrealm fighters and outworld/netherrealm warriors who don't age the same. This would constitute a huge risk, even though the replacements are already on the roster in MKX and could be modified to play like their classic counterparts (Johnny Cage/Sonya -> Cassie Cage, Jax -> Jacqui, Scorpion -> Takeda, Sub-Zero -> Frost, Kung Lao -> Kung Jin).

    The solution to this conundrum and mess of dead characters? Retcon the whole story again where a time traveler brings the 'young' version of a seemingly random hodge podge of classic characters to present day. The whole thing becomes a ridiculous mess that relies on slapstick humor, and the Mortal Kombat 'tournament' hasn't existed since MK9.

    Verdict: MK11 offers a rich multiplayer experience. Overall, the game offers a deep meta game. The mechanics are easy to pickup and learn, and you can play at a reasonably moderate level in short order. Still, there are more advanced techniques that are difficult to master but ultimately unnecessary to have fun while playing online, which is where a fighting game should be. There are a lot of extra things to unlock in the Krypt, but ultimately they are of little consequence to the game's experience. The loss of 2 points comes from the lackluster story mode and some poor character redesigns.

It's sad because Mortal Kombat 11 is the best looking game in the entire franchise, but the good presentation this game offers go to waste with so many bad decisions on the development part.
    If you plan to buy this game, buy it when the price is really low or wait for a "Komplete Edition" because you know, they always release one after a year or so. (And please wait for that version to drop the price as well.)
