    This is a disgrace for a Mortal Kombat game, always online micro transaction hell with terrible voice acting, character designs are ugly to look at and has social justice nonsense.
    It has the grind and the monetization of a F2P game, the Krypt is one giant lootbox, the game has lots of grind wall, especially with the time and character towers, they sell time kristals, which are just the
    This is a disgrace for a Mortal Kombat game, always online micro transaction hell with terrible voice acting, character designs are ugly to look at and has social justice nonsense.
    It has the grind and the monetization of a F2P game, the Krypt is one giant lootbox, the game has lots of grind wall, especially with the time and character towers, they sell time kristals, which are just the game“s premium currency like it was a cheap mobile game.
    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.

    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.

    Good port!

    After Doom and Wolfenstein 2 we are getting another good port of an AAA game on Nintendo Switch. Also it's one of the few modern Beat 'em' Ups on Switch beside Smash Bros Ultimate and Dragon Ball FighterZ.

    + 60 FPS
    + Great mix of old and new characters
    + Good visuals

    - no / bad antialiasing
    - microtransactions

    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. Also pushing you personal political agenda with certain tower endings is just disgusting. The developers lied about certain aspects (all characters in the story
    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. 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.

    If you absolutely want a portable version of Mortal Kombat 11, this is a fine experience when it comes to the core gameplay.

    Mortal Kombat 11 offers an extreme amount of customization and replayability all while maintaining its pure enjoyment when fighting.

    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.
