And i loved it. It didn’t take me long to find out that Netherrealm (the developers of Injustice) was making a new fighting game called Mortal Kombat X. Now at this point i had only heard of the Mortal Kombat series and all it’s blood and gore. So i just assumed that it was gonna be another “okay” fighting game. I didn’t really think much about it from there on until the reviews came out. And they were damn good and it had a metascore of over 80. So yes i bought it on sale and when it loaded up i found out that it wasn’t just another “okay fighting game”. It was a masterpiece of a fighting game where every character has three different fighting style’s. Raiden for example can switch between Teleportation, Enhanced lightning attacks or setting up lightning traps, which is just what i was looking for in a fighting game.

    It is a bit sad to see that the game offers things like “30 Easy Fatality’s” for five dollars when doing fatality’s isn’t even that hard. Only Ermac’s first fatality (which is of course on of the best one’s) requires you to know how to do it or you have to buy “Easy Fatality’s”, which is definitely not fair for newcomers to fighting games. If you didn’t preorder it you also have to PAY to play as Goro, one of Mortal Kombat’s most beloved characters which is pathetic.

    The season pass character DLC though is pretty solid though. They offer four characters whereas two of them are old favorites and the other two are famous movie characters, Jason Vorhees and Predator which is absolutely genius.

    Overall i give this a 9,5/10 (when not counting in the whole “Pay to win” thing).    … Expand

    Mortal Kombat X was easily my most anticipated game of 2015. While it was not the best fighting game i have ever played, it was still a darn good one.

While it was not the best fighting game i have ever played, it was still a darn good one.

    Mortal Kombat X has some very solid and tight controls. It was so easy to just jump in and get into the fighting action. The moves seem a lot easier to pull off this time around. The biggest new feature is the variations system. Each character has 3 different variants, each adding different special moves and combos to their move set. For example Raiden had a variation where he can teleport, one where he has enhanced lighting powers, and one where he can set lighting traps. My only gripe with this new system, is that some characters have variations that only add one or two new moves to the equation. It's still very good though.

    Of course, another good thing to look forward to is the fatalities. They are more gruesome than ever here, and may possibly be some of the best of the whole series. Some of them are pretty hard to pull off though. (I'm not going to get into all the micro transactions and abundance of DLC.) The krypt is where you can buy all the different fatalities and costumes. Instead of just a boring open field with tombstones, this is a first person puzzle segment. This can break up some monotony, and the krypt is rich with content. This has the most content of any fighting game, i can easily say.

    I don't feel like getting into too much detail over the story, but i just want to say it was not as good as Injustice or MK9.

    Mortal Kombat X was a very good fighting game, and i would go back to play ti anyday. 8/10    … Expand

    Oh wow, Mortal Kombat X is a treat, perhaps one of the best games of the fighting genre of this year so far.

It is a non-linear game, the main story taking place in the present, but with events given context through flashbacks to fill the gaps    Oh wow, Mortal Kombat X is a treat, perhaps one of the best games of the fighting genre of this year so far.

    Mortal Kombat X’s story takes place 25 years after the events of Mortal Kombat 9 and introduces a new type of story not seen in the game before. It is a non-linear game, the main story taking place in the present, but with events given context through flashbacks to fill the gaps of what happened to each of the characters during those 25 years.

    The new roster features eight brand spanking new characters, with a ‘main four’ who are all related to major players in the MK universe. You have Cassie Cage, daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, Jacqui Briggs, Jax’s daughter, Takeda’s the son of Kenshi but was raised and trained by Scorpion and finally, Kung Jin, who is the cousin of Kung Lao. Easily the most diverse group of protagonists in any game of the moment! There are other new faces too, such as the badass insect queen D’Vorah and old western style sharpshooter Erron Black.

    The new Variation fighting styles that come with each character is definitely an interesting little feature. I can see these styles being better utilised by more competitive players rather than more casual players such as myself, but I can already see the benefit in the styles and how it can really tailor your experience as a player. Do you like fighting at close range? Then you’ll want to look at Cassie Cage’s Brawler or Jacqui’s High Tech variation. More of a ranged player? Try out Takeda’s Lasher or Raiden’s Thunder God variation. What’s neat about each of these is that a small part of the costume changes to signify the variation you’re fighting with or against. For example, Quan Chi’s Summoner has glowing red eyes and shoulder pauldrons and Kotal Khan’s eyes and tattoos glow orange in his Sun God variation. It’s a fun thing to try out, and each variation still keeps the base move set of the character, just with new special moves to buff them up. There are also more defensive variations out there, not all just about punching, shooting or stabbing such as Ermac’s Master of Souls variation which allows him to temporarily avoid damage.

    Story wise, the plot is pretty solid. It’s not mind blowing, but it’s not unsatisfying either. It clearly stands on its own two feet and with the flashbacks involved there is certainly more depth added in terms of character fluff to establish changing relationships between characters. There are some wonderful moments in the story, including old rivals coming together under a common cause and also darker moments that see old friends turn on one another. What’s great about the plot of this game, and I think this applies across NetherRealm’s last game as well, that you have a rich, lore heavy story that at the same time doesn’t actually leave you feeling lost at all. They lay it out for you in a way that makes it easy, but not just spouting out facts about the Earthrealm, Netherrealm and Outworld and their intertwining politics. For the tenth game in the series, that’s quite the challenge, but they’ve nailed it down pretty well. You won’t get any sharp plot twists or unexpected events, it’s all pretty linear but that’s absolutely fine in my opinion. It’s a game about beating the **** out of people at the end of the day, not everyone is going to be picking this game up for the plot, but it’s there if you want it.

    The voice acting really varies in this game, really varies. You have some superb voice talent amongst the newcomers, D’Vorah particularly stands out for me with her unique accent and resonance to her voice. Whereas characters like Raiden and Kung Lao fall a little short. I’m not sure if it’s the voice actors fault, or the writer’s fault on that one however. You can only do so much with what you’re given to make it sound good, but some of the dialogue just feels to me like it’s come straight out of a bad martial arts movie dub at times and when you have some excellent voice acting alongside, it makes the experience a tiny bit jarring. Of course, you do have that element of cheese there as well in the classic archetypes that the old timers have, like what I like to refer to as Johnny Cage’s ‘Duff Man oooooh yeah’ (10 points if you read it in the voice) type attitude and for a game like Mortal Kombat it absolutely works, has worked in the past and will no doubt continue to keep working in the future as well.

    The Living, Traditional and Online Towers are a brilliant way to burn a few hours and hone your skills. The innovative new Living Towers provide brand new and constantly cycling challenges that will constantly keep you on your toes. Not to mention the opportunity to find Secret Fights for secret achievements. You’ve also still got the Test Your Luck mode, which puts random modifiers on fights which always makes things interesting and of course the online fights as well. Online fights are something I personally steer clear of, simply because my skill level is so low compared to what I know will be waiting for me out in the big wide internet world that I’ll be torn to shreds in only a matter of seconds. I’d rather avoid that, really.

    Old features return to the game that you would expect to be there, including the Krypt where you explore the dark, haunted graveyard in search of secrets and bonus features such as skins and concept artwork in exchange for Koins that you collect through playing the game and winning fights in all modes of the story. Obviously the more expensive the secret, the better it will generally be.

    Over all however, the Mortal Kombat X experience is exactly what you would expect of a Mortal Kombat game. It’s face paced, fun and there’s no end to replayability as there will always be the chance to replay story mode and hit up the Towers. You’ve got plenty to play with and countless variations of characters to master. It’s a wholesome experience and definitely worth every penny    … Expand

    Fun game. I'd give it a 9 overall, but the fact that netherrealm is selling DLC they haven't released yet, let alone should be part of the game, then trying to basically give you an "In-app purchase" console game for $60 deserves a 1 because that's ripping off gamers. That carrot dangling ruins the game for me and brings that 9 down to a 1, so have a 3.

    Isn't it better to have a brand new MK than a remastered one? The game is awesome, It has a lot of moves to learn with the 3 sides of each character. They improved the X Rays attacks, now every character has its own skull. The story it´s not strong but we didn't get this game by its story mode. Graphics are cool and fatalities are awesome. It is a must have.

    I remember when MK1 first came out, in the Arcade it was something truly special. Kids would line up ready to pop in 25p to try and knock their opponent into the pit, or rip off a head or two.

    Then..... Time passed by and I grew older and wiser, grew up. Had a family and stopped playing MK games. I played every other type of genre on PC through to N64, to Ps1 right up to modern consoles.

    Then, MK X appeared. At first I paid little attention, but the hype started building. I watched interviews, and story videos and fatality videos. I was been drawn in. Finally on the day of release I went and bought the game. Went home and loaded it up.

    And....... It is absolutely awesome!!!!!!! I feel like a kid again. Smashing the hell out of Kano's face, breaking Scorpion’s Back, Tearing the face off Raiden, Facing Goro all over again!!!!

    Well my hopes were high on this one. I thought it was the first BIG beat em up for the PS4 platform but... Too wear graphically. This seems something out for PS3 and not for a new generation console. For example Johnny Cage looks awful (no expressions and looks like Duke Nokem). BUT not a bad game just a little disappointed. Hopefully the new Street Fighter won´t be like this one.

    The good:
    24 characters x 3 varations = lots of moves
    Gameplay and controls good (offline)
    Mostly good graphics

    The bad:
    Pressing buttons really fast is not a test of skill (-1)
    Netcode (-2)
    UX to do anything online is slow and often reports server errors (-1)
    Graphics on some characters look unfinished (-1)
    Day 1 DLC (-2)

    Mortal Kombat X is a very entertaining game. If you like fighting games it will keep you entertained for hours. There's a wide selection of characters and the game seems well balanced. It's irritating that a number of characters are additional charged DLC but tere's enough variety for them not to be missed. Overall a great game that's well worth buying.

    Mortal Kombat is dead. It died a long time ago. The last good game was Mortal Kombat Armageddon. Now they've removed most of the characters (some re-added as DLC) and turned a game with a 3D movement range back into a 2D arcade button basher.

I enjoy Mortal Kombat and am partial to games I can play locally with my kids so I give this game a decent score. It plays great and is fun. I do believe content could have been and should have been deeper, especially for a game with such history and an extensive back catalog.

    - Less characters and scenarios then MK (2011). WTF!?
    - They remove the 4 players mode. WHY?
    - So short the campaign mode.
    - Characters of campaign thay you defeat but you cant play with it.
    - A very strange coloring/saturation/contrast in the game. Like killer instinct at xbox one, that spoil the graphics!

    For that reasons I bealive that MKX is worse than the last one (MK 2011). The MK 2011 bring back the game. So I think MKX should only add new features and characters, not remove then.
    =======================================================================
    Português:
    Tenho este jogo na versão do ps4. Sou um grande fã da marca, achei o jogo bom, mas tem grandes defeitos. Separando os pontos que acredito serem relevantes:

    Positivos:
    - Os novos personagens tem profundidade, são ótimos.
    - Boa história.
    - As facções foram uma ideia legal.

    Negativos:
    - Tem poucos personagens e cenários. Menos que o antecessor. O que é um absurdo.
    - Não permite mais jogar com 4 pessoas! Não da pra acreditar que fizeram isso.
    - Campanha da história curta.
    - Personagens que aparecem pra lutar na história mas que não são jogáveis.
    - Gráficos com saturação de cor ou contraste fora do comum, que estragam os gráficos. Parece o killer instinct do xbox one.

    Por estas rações, acho que o MKX esta um pouco pior que o antecessor. Do meu ponto de vista, o jogo lançado em 2011 trouxe a franquia de volta aos bons tempos, e este agora deveria ter acrescido a ele em número, sem tirar nada que tinha de bom. Da forma que foi feito parece que foi um trabalho realizado sem capricho.    … Expand

MKX fully takes advantage of 8th gen capabilities and implements them perfectly on the fighting genre. The characters redesigns are absolutely gorgeous and are extravagant yet logical. the character selection is vast and includes a wide array of fun, and interesting characters. However, seeing characters like Kung Jin, Cassie Cage, Takashi Takeda, and Jacqui Briggs in the game instead of popular and fan-favorite characters like Noob Saibot, Cyrax, Sektor, Kabal, and Smoke feels wrong as they tried to hard to be different. I understand not wanting to put in all the cyborgs, but c'mon, at least one would've been nice. But the other original characters like Kotal Kahn, D'vorah, Ferra/Torr, and Erron Black are great additions to the universe. Now onto the gameplay, MKX took the classic MK gameplay and logically evolved and extended it to modern day capabilities. And the satisfaction of the bone crunching, muscle tearing, and testicle bursting x-rays are only topped by the satisfaction of seeing the screen go dark and watch as your character destroys your opponent in the even more gruesome and disgusting fatalities. The story mode is fun, imaginative, and a great way to fully grasp and introduce the characters. All in all, MKX is a welcome addition to the Mortal Kombat series that far exceeded my expectations and all I can do is thank Netherrealm and play more MKX.… Expand

    Fighting-wise it seems to be like the old Tekken games. One button for each hand one button for each leg. X-ray attacks look awesome. Some of the fatalities are incredible. Brutalities are back and are a lot of fun.

    Online play seems to be hit or miss. I'm wireless and haven't have any connectivity issues, but opponent quality is all over the place. The 5 factions for online play are a good idea in practice but don't seem to be great in reality because so many people just pick the same one or two. The "Faction Kill" fatalities that are introduced are mostly mediocre.

    Story-wise, you can beat the story in a couple hours, but it is really well-done. Good cinematics, and a good way to learn how to use some of the new characters as well as to play some of the older characters.

    The re-done Krypt is awesome and worth exploring for unlockables and there are a few surprises in it to keep you paying attention.

    Overall the game is awesome, plays great, good level interaction in every stage. My only real issue with it is several characters who are in 9, living or dead don't make an appearance outside of NPC status in the story or as opponents in the story and will likely be pay-to-play at some point. Some of my favorite characters are unplayable because of this. There's really no real reason to do that besides a money-grab. AI seems to be VERY noticeably different on each difficulty (stick to medium if you're average), and the final boss in the storymode's ending and at the end of the Klassic Tower is a little overpowered but not to the point where it's unbeatable, you just have to be smart.    … Expand

The game is beautiful for one, cracking Scorpion's skull with your fist has never looked better. It's heaps of fun, whether or not you have PS Plus and access to multiplayer. Offline players will have the story mode, however short, local multiplayer of course, and towers. There are classic towers - ten fights against increasingly difficult opponents, Test Your Luck towers, my personal favourite, where every fight has random modifiers thrown in to make it more chaotic, and living towers, that change constantly as long as you have an internet connection (PS Plus isn't required here, to my knowledge). You'll also be able to join a faction. Pretty much everything you do earns points for your faction, and the faction with the most points at the end of a certain amount of time gets big rewards. If you have PS Plus, you'll get all of what you've come to expect from an online fighting game - 1v1, King of the Hill and stuff like that, along with some new game modes like online Test Your Luck. I haven't experienced much lag or any disconnects while online, but there are quite a few spammers and other unfair players that will ruin your match. As for characters, there are around 29, new and old, which doesn't seem like too many at first, but each character gets three variations, essentially tripling that number. If it still isn't enough, more can be obtained via DLC, including old favourites like Tanya, and licensed characters like Predator. Overall a great game that I'd absolutely recommend.… Expand

    If you don't play fighting games and want to try something new or to try to play them, I don't recommend this. Think of yourself as just a loser, online all are better than you, and your controller will go broke faster.
    2D fighting games are history and they isn't that good for the new gen consoles.

    Game itself is pretty nice and fun for a while.

    A lot of the haters are hypocritical fanboys from other fighting communities, who seem to be under the impression its only ok when their favorite Japanese games charge them for DLC characters, Re-releases or such things. None of the DLC is a must have anyway, but its important to remember these are merely trolls who were going to leave a low score regardless of what the product is. Its best simply to ignore them.    … Expand

    So much fun.

    The visuals and sound really give every move a visceral feeling. It feels like you're doing some serious damage when you connect with moves. The animations are great, the stages and characters look awesome. The gameplay is really good. Doing damage mostly relies on executing combos. The execution here is somewhat challenging, but doable with practice, and it's    So much fun.

    The gameplay is really good. Doing damage mostly relies on executing combos. The execution here is somewhat challenging, but doable with practice, and it's rewarding as hell to land 40%+ combos in an online match. All of the 29 cast members have a unique identity, and most seem to be somewhat balanced and viable in the pro scene. NRS continues to be active in patching and balancing.

    The fatalities are great and the brutality system is an awesome addition that allows you to end matches with some style. NRS really went the extra mile here and gave each character two fatalities and 5+ brutalities.

    I had a lot of fun just playing single player and getting some of the unlockable skins, and have played over 1000 matches online. I'm taking off 1 point since the netcode seems to have some inherent lag even when playing under near-optimal conditions, and since matchmaking can be a little wonky.

    Overall, most fun I've had with a fighter in a really long time. Excited to see what NRS does next.    … Expand

    This game is way more awesome then I expected. I have been playing this franchise since I was only 4 years old. I used to play Mortal Kombat 2 that released in 1993 and have been in love with this game since then and I can undoubtedly say that Mortal Kombat X is the best Mortal Kombat game series.

I have been playing this franchise since I was only 4 years old. I used to play Mortal Kombat 2 that released in 1993 and have been in love with this game since then and I can undoubtedly say that Mortal Kombat X is the best Mortal Kombat game series.
    This game has so much to offer, every character has different moves, different style, amazing fatalities, different combat experience and this time they have even introduced new characters and they completely fit it this franchise. New characters like D'vorah and Kotal Kahn are so amazing and give such a fresh look to this franchise.
    But there are things that really bothers me and the first is the DLC. It so damn expensive, I mean who would pay $5 for 1 character. And in this game Goro is not there, I mean its in the Disc but if you want to play as him then you have to buy another DLC. Its really bad that you have to pay to unlock the character that is already in the disc.
    Now the second thing that really bothers me is the story mode. When it starts you may think it looks amazing but after few minutes it gets so boring and makes you wanna quit the story mode. Its like first they designed the characters then the stages then they are trying to somehow fit all of that in the story.
    I have the Mortal Kombat X Special Edition and expect the design of the box there is nothing special. If you buy Special Edition you can see the design that it has Scorpion on its back and that looks really amazing but with this disc, you will get a free DLC of Goro and Scorpion skin that is already available on PS Store for free so I don't get it why they put the Scorpion Skin DLC in the first place.
    So the final verdict for this game is that this game should be in your shelf if you like fight style games, but if you are a kid they won't buy it because it contain really graphical fatalities that is not suitable for children.    … Expand

    You have a lot of different variety for each fighter to try and master, amazing combos, great fatalities and X-ray combos.
    - Map design is great.
    - Multiplayer suffers from lag issues but still wroth playing.

    The main bad issue here is the Story/Campaign mode:
    It silly and dumb, you fight the elder god Shinnok with Casey Cage, LOL.
    The whole events sound so cheap and predictable, nothing worth playing just skip the story line. but this makes the game lose some points. As a fighting game it gets a minor pass on being a bad story, but the campaign is bad and this cannot be ignored.

    Overall its the best Mortal Kombat game.

    The story was also not something I was too crazy about. It essentially only exists to stitch together 50 or so fights - perhaps it might feel more enthralling for fans who have followed the series over the past few decades but for me it was a dud. There is also an obscene amount of ads for other WB products.

    Nevertheless I can't ignore how deep and expansive the combat mechanics are and how much fun fans of the genre and or series can have with MK X, despite it only being an ok game for me, so I can't rate it too harshly.    … Expand
