    What a disappointing entry in the MK franchise!

    A lot of fan favourites are missing (Mileena, Rain, Sindel, Smoke...). The story is abysmal, makes no sense at all and effectively destroys the entire lore of the last 27 years.

    The story is abysmal, makes no sense at all and effectively destroys the entire lore of the last 27 years. Also pushing you personal political agenda with certain tower endings is just disgusting. The developers lied about certain aspects (all characters in the story will be playable, there will be unlockable characters, they will listen to the fans and include all the fan favourites...)

    Most importantly however: The developers showed how much they disrespect/hate one of the biggest fan favourites (Mileena) and her fanbase. They didn't include her in the game and mocked/ridiculed her fans for telling NRS how much they want their favourite to be a part of the new installment.

    Don't buy games from developers who lie to you, mock/ridicule their own fanbase and put wokeness above character consistency.    … Expand

    Also, forcing your personal political agenda has no place in a MK game or in any game for that matter. Some tower endings are just the wet dreams of SJWs. Funny how MK, the game that helped to create the ESRB has fallen into censorship, killing and decapitation is good, bewbs are evil.    … 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.

    Conversione fatta bene e tecnicamente valida per Switch. Purtroppo è Only Online e punta tutto sulle microtransazioni, quindi come ci giochi senza una connessione alle torri o alla cripta? Non puoi, la portatilità che offre la console Nintendo non serve a nulla in questo gioco!

The Krypt is totally random, requiring 3 different forms of currency that, get this, you unlock through grossly laborious tower challenges that aren't fun, and basically completely random "test your luck" type tests of patience and your pocketbook. 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

    Bought this game after seeing those reviews on YouTube about 60 fps on the switch. Yes it is 60 fps but only on some stages. Most of the time the frame rate is dropped too much that I cannot do a simple combo (please note that I can deal with Hard mode AI on the non-lagged stages). Everything is even getting worst on the final boss fight with tons of lagging. Disappointed...

    What do you get with the Switch in terms of technical performance?
    Some fatalities appear too look horridly flat textured etc..

    But all round, this is a highly playable and respectable version of the game if you intend to use it portably. Though you will suffer some crash and stuttering hick ups. Ultimately there will be no better portable version of this anytime soon (and a potential upgrade Switch en-route should solve this games visual short comings)

    Ultimate verdict, Switch is a solid pass.
    But this game as a whole is advised to avoid purchase.
    One of the most expensive games I've bought in my life (got the deluxe) to leave me quite disgusted as a result

    Game is a clunky fighter with a character roster that at current doesn't appease me. The star feature of the game in the form of cinematic Krushing Blows and Fatalities get repetitive, can often look ridiculous in nature, and the games other combos and nuanced features are a serious challenge to pull off.

    Game crashes everyday and gets updates way after the other versions. I have never had a Switch game crash as much as MK11 does. I have put in 160 hrs so far and it crashes multiple times a day. Plus the updates come almost 2 weeks after the PS4 & XBox. I want to love this game... I do. Please don't waste your money on this version.

The game uses a terrible grind system to entice people to buy content with microtransactions. The developers have said that "they are working on a fix", but their fix is to fudge the numbers somewhat to make the grind a little bit easier, not remove the grind completely. But that is the only fix. Remove consumables, remove assists, remove augments, remove random drops, remove randomization from the krypt.

    The game also crashes here and there in the menus, which can cause data loss. This is the first game on Switch I see crashing. It's embarrassing.

    Until all these things are fixed (and let's be honest, they never will be), I cannot recommend this. It's a shame, because I like the story and the core fighting mechanics are good.    … Expand

    Let's start off with the mandatory 20gb download for a full price Switch cart (Which no other game I own has had to do on launch that's full price), predatory micro transactions, and horrible horrible always online drm netcode. It defeats the purpose of even owning it on the switch for portability if you have to be tethered in wireless or not. You aren't even allowed to save progress for the single player story if you've no internet access. Never giving an AAA+ published game my money again. Stay away from WB and Nether Realm Studios. Has the grind of a mobile game if you want to even think about unlocking fatalities or any kind of cosmetics. Strong arming players into buying into their currency. Yes you read that right, in game, f2p currency in a full priced AAA+ game. While getting a game like this onto the Switch is impressive, it's completely held back by poor business practices and awful design choices. Costumes, Kombat Koins, and very odd Feminist-like agenda choices when it comes to the storyboard writing, and female costume design.
    Most of the female character's I couldn't recognize at first glance, while the male's costumes were pretty much, recognizable from their previous designs in earlier games. Please avoid this game, and refund it if possible.    … Expand

    Fun, deep and full of content, Mortal Kombat 11 is a complete fighting package. However, little performance and aesthetic problems, as well as the reliance on an internet connection to play single player content, prevent the game from achieving its true potential on Switch.
