    I used to live this series. It really went to hell. Who wants a fighting game that has microtransactions.

    Also, who wants a fighting game by a bunch of woke scolds? Remember how much fun games were before work morons ruined them all? :(

    Stay away.

    Not bad, is good in my opinion. In addition to being impressive as such a heavy fighting game, it ends up being compatible with a console that isn't specialized in graphics. Quite well accomplished the fact that you play it on a pocket console (well, is hybrid, but my console is Lite). The only bad thing is the DLC's, that's why you have to take advantage when offers come out with Aftermath.

    Its almost a miracle this game plays at 60fps on a handheld from 2017. The resolution is pretty low but it runs smoothly and the extra dlc characters are great.

    I have the Switch Lite, so I can't attest to how it looks on a big screen, but I'm surprised it runs like it does on Switch. It's definitely a noticable visual downgrade and the frame rate dips and drops a lot. It definitely does its best to maintain that 60 FPS.

    Controls are good, but difficult to pull off on the Switch Lite's tiny d-pad and buttons. Though you can basically combo mash the opponents into submission.

    One of my biggest complaints comes from the way they decide to tell the tale; no QTEs to keep you on your toes during the LONG cutscenes.

    Fairly decent fighter that rewards the skilled though with some noticeable graphic hiccups. The reason for the average rating is because I've seen much better ports on Switch (think Doom Eternal) and I know a better job could have been done.    … Expand

    Alright, I was going to put a whole backstory of how my love for this franchise goes back all the way to 1992, when I was nine years old and how my childhood and teenage years can be defined by two words: Mortal Kombat. But then it got too long and I realized no one cares. Suffice to say, I've been playing the franchise since its debut.

    Like most MK fans, I was hyped for MK11. Up until    Alright, I was going to put a whole backstory of how my love for this franchise goes back all the way to 1992, when I was nine years old and how my childhood and teenage years can be defined by two words: Mortal Kombat. But then it got too long and I realized no one cares. Suffice to say, I've been playing the franchise since its debut.

    Like most MK fans, I was hyped for MK11. Up until recently, I still was. That enthusiasm has subsided quickly once I actually started to play the game deeply. First, as you can see in a lot of bad reviews here, yes, a lot of fans do not like the political agenda that was injected around and into the game. No matter what your politics might be, keep them out of a product you intend to sell. It's common sense. You want to appeal to the largest number of people possible, not alienate a few, and then proceed to demonize them when they don't agree with your line of thinking. Whether you are a liberal or conservative, your message will upset roughly half the people either way. So avoid it. In the case of MK, the devs responded by saying "please, don't call them fans" when it was pointed out to them that some fans didn't agree with their ideologies seeping into the game.

    Well, I own Mortal Kombat 11 on Steam, Xbox, PS4, and Switch, all last three being the Ultimate version. So yeah, I am a fan... but not a fanboy. Big difference. So you bet, I will review every port I own appropriately.

    Graphics -They are absolutely fantastic, no doubt. This is the best looking fighting game at the moment and the best looking Mortal Kombat game ever made, by far. Yeah, lots of gear customization here, which seems to have become the focal point of this game. But once you start fighting red Scorpions or neon Sub-Zeros, along with some downright embarrassing and nonsensical costumes that are repulsive to look at, I wish the system disappeared forever. Preset skins like MK9 and MKX were the perfect compromise. This is MK, not Street Fighter or Injustice.

    Story - Poorly written, but entertaining nevertheless. I think the visuals and familiarity we have with the characters mask that downside quite well. No? Well, put that plot in a movie with unfamiliar characters outside the MK universe and you got yourself a box office bomb and a laughing stock.

    Sound and music - Sound effects are great. The music is boring, forgettable, and unmemorable, better suited in a superhero-themed game. Get rid of this orchestral garbage and bring back the East Asian undertones and kung-fu atmosphere that was part of the foundation of this franchise, please.

    Gameplay - It's very deep, the tutorial is great, one of the best I have ever seen. Frame data, block advantage, man - it's really something to get into. Makes you appreciate fighting games and how technical they can be. That being said it is slower than MK9 and 10, which bothers some people. I really like the customization of abilities, you can really put your gameplay style and personality into your character.

    Single-player - Making progress is nightmarish, demoralizing, ludicrous, an affront to nature, and everything that is good and decent. It's like EA and Konami got together to make something as greedy and as evil as possible. It's disgusting. I like to dive deep into games, especially Mortal Kombat, just really doing everything the game has to offer. Here, the only things being offered are frustration and despair. I'm talking about the grinding, of course. This should be called a "working for Netherrealm simulator" - a taste of what crunching might feel like, except you're paying, instead of getting paid. Let this sink in: people actually use a turbo controller exploit and the AI to play the game for them and make progress. It's the only way unless you abandon all life outside this game.

    This game is like a greedy pig of a mobile game. It absolutely destroys an otherwise near perfect MK entry. I cannot begin to tell you how sad, hurt, and disappointed I am. For the first time in Mortal Kombat history, there are online requirements. You cannot even enter the Krypt if you are not connected to the MK11 servers. And it's all because the in-game currency can be purchased from them as "Time Krystals", with real money. That's what is all about. Despite the initial deception, this game is essentially a big loot box from hell and I despise it for it. Will I continue to play? Yes, I already spent all that money. But will I buy MK12? I highly doubt that things will revert to what they once were. In fact, it can only go worse from here. So most likely, no. This is probably the last MK game I will ever buy. Unless online requirements and grinding is gone, I'm out.

    Switch specific - The fact that this game runs here, let alone in 60fps, is mind-blowing. Congratulations on a great job, Shiver. Too bad the game itself can't redeem your good name. Portability is irrelevant due to online requirements. Ultimate physical was a code-in-a-box. Trash.    … Expand

    GRÁFICOS : Su punto más débil, distan de lo visto en pc y demás consolas de la actual generación, sin embargo el resultado es muy agradable la mayor parte del tiempo, actualmente con los parches que se han lanzado, el resultado estético es increíble, (en personajes como Spawn el nivel de detalle es asombroso) pero se conservan ciertos fallos que parecen falta de esmero, pues claramente la switch da para más (el cabello de los personajes podría ser mejor (LA BARBA DE CANO Y EL CABELLO DE TERMINATOR SON IMPERDONABLES))
    EXTRAS: modo kripta y personalización de personajes que no alcanza las características de las versiones mayores, pero brindan una gran experiencia y aumentan la rejugabilidad hasta los cielos
    En conclusión : MK 11 es una alternativa que todo fanático de la serie o del género de lucha debe tener en cuenta, imprescindible para todo jugador de nintendo switch, dista mucho de ser perfecto, pero el resultado logrado da un gran sabor de boca y nos demuestra que podemos disfrutar de otros grandes títulos de peleas en la nintendo switch    … Expand

    I was surprised at how much I enjoyed MK11, to be honest. Admittedly, other than Smash Bros, which is a dramatically different styled fighting game, I'm not much for fighting games.

In fact, this was my first MK since playing 3 or 4 on the GameBoy Color ages ago. I was worried that this gameplay would be too inaccessible and challenging for me to enjoy, but I was wrong. Indeed, I'm not a competitive MK player by any means. I'd imagine about 90% of my experience with this game was the campaign and 10% was button mashing on the couch with friends. But for those two gameplay aspects for a casual player like me, this game was great. Yes, it was a pain to watch pre-rendered scenes morph into in-game engine on the Switch. I wasn't expecting much in that department, but it was even worse than I imagined. Still, gameplay is a lot of fun and the story mode was surprisingly engaging. I never got much into the customization aspects of this game and did not download the DLC, but honestly, I look forward to repurchasing the Aftermath Kollection on the PS4, mostly just to play through more story mode as well as to try the new DLC fighters. I'm surprised that this game has gotten so many negative user reviews and that it is often available at a dramatically steep discount. However, after perusing the negative reviews here, I see that its a mix of die-hard MK fans that are upset their favorite characters are in the game (understandable), a criticism of excessive microtransctions (I never felt compelled to purchase any, to be honest), and random creeps that are complaining that the game is to progressive/"SJW"? I don't even know where that stems from the gameplay to be honest, other than some of these reviewers probably projecting.
    Nevertheless, if you're a casual MK player like me, you'll enjoy this, especially after taking advantage of some of the steep discounts you'll encounter.    … Expand

    I can best describe Mortal Kombat 11 as a major disappointment.

There's so much potential in the latest iteration on the franchise, but I find myself at odds with numerous choices that were made with this game. Considering that this is the Switch version of the game, there are some issues that only pertain to the platform that needs to be highlighted.

    In terms of visuals and performance, It's very impressive how this game is able to run on the Switch. Shiver Entertainment did a nice job with the port. There is a bit of a haze effect when it comes to the environments and the characters look a bit odd, but all that can be ignored while in-motion; The standard framerate in Fighters is 60fps, this version of the game hits a solid 56-57 fps, which works well enough for combat.

    The gameplay works for the most part. We have a passable cast of characters to work with, along with quite a few guests along with some fan-favorites. In a casual-setting, Going one-on-one with your friends in a bloody duel to the death is just as great as it did in the arcades. I had loads of fun wrecking my friends in friendly matches to pass the time. And if there's no one to play with, Training Mode is still a great way to learn and practice the mechanics of the game. There's a bevy of options on-hand when it comes to practicing; Training Mode is top-notch with a VERY customizable free mode, and dedicated tutorials covering fighting game basics, and specific character tricks!

    There is some struggle when you take the competitive setting into account. The new Fatal Blows are a bit cheap. Past games had you build a meter to activate "X-rays", which act in the same vein, but Fatal blows are just given to you because you get your ass kicked. The split meter system does offer a bevy of new options during the fight but puts players into a "too-many-buttons" situation. as there are so many options to take into account in a defensive situation. Every character in this game has some sort of projectile, and hitboxes are just plain weird. Such concoction of battle mechanics encourages a more "defensive/zoning" playstyle, instead of a mixture of rushdown/bait-'n-punish to go along with the prevalent style.

    However, the game falls apart in terms of the content. NetherRealm has [debatebly] been the gold standard when it comes to the AMOUNT of content that they include in their releases, The quality of their offerings is another story. Speaking of which, said story is a mixed bag, It's well-animated and choreographed, but the pacing and story bits are problematic, The "Character-chapter" set-up is very outdated, and it's filled with leaps of logic [which isn't exclusive to this game, MK9 and MKX had this issue as well] that can destroy the whole narrative; And considering how it ends, there's no way anyone can be invested in a universe that retcons itself as if it were a fashion statement and resets at a whim.
    The unlockables and extras are something else. The Krypt is an area where you can use the in-game currency to open chests to gather goodies. It's been a staple in the series from the 3D games; This rendition is a more interactive experience with exploration elements, as you travel around Shang Tsung's actual island, filled to the brim with puzzles. There's are oodles of items that are begging to be collected... Too many. Along with the usual fatalities, skins, artwork, and tracks, there are also augments, gear, and "konsumables". The number of items you get heavily favors the latter collectibles, which dilutes the reward pool and makes the stuff that people actually care about harder to get. The premium currency, or Time Crystals, is completely unnecessary, especially since there are 3 other types of currency available, although it's a slog to accumulate. The presence of this only fosters a grindy ecosystem.
    The extra modes available are passable, but even then there are gripes that each brings to the table. AI Battles are near useless, defeats the whole purpose of even playing the game if it just plays itself. The only use that I can think of this feature is for grinding classic mode, but that requires you to babysit the game to move on from battle to battle. The Towers of Time is a major step back from the previous towers, not only is there no challenges (i.e. Test your Might) to break up countless fighting at a disadvantage (The only way to put yourself at an even playing field is the use of "konsumables") but said towers are timed. All your progress is tied online, so any progress you've made offline is not tracked, meaning if ANYTHING happens, like an outage or a sudden crash, that progress is gone and you have to do it again. Such an online model completely handicaps the SOLE advantage that the Switch had for this game: Playing anytime, anywhere.

    I cannot recommend this title for any Switch owner. Unless you're a dedicated MK fan, avoid this title and find another fighting game to play.    … Expand

    I understand the general disagreement with the game from others, but I've had quite an enjoyable experience for a casual gamer. Played with friends, enjoyed the story, didn't mind the extremely over violent bloody scenes. The mechanics can feel weird at times and confusing, since I cannot understand when the fatalities can be used exactly - sometimes it's a matter of chance? Nonetheless, II understand the general disagreement with the game from others, but I've had quite an enjoyable experience for a casual gamer.

    Wow, Mortal Kombat in Switch is a visual wonder! It's incredible how well adapted is the game in a portable console. Obviously there are some graphic details are not the same as Xbox or PC version... but, IS MORTAL KOMBAT! what else do you need? Fighting with Sonya Blade or Johnny Cage while lying in bed priceless. Story mode probably is the best of all MK games, and Krypt treasures areWow, Mortal Kombat in Switch is a visual wonder! It's incredible how well adapted is the game in a portable console.

Story mode probably is the best of all MK games, and Krypt treasures are funny too. I don´t like the idea of DLC characters, but in this case maybe I try some of them. Round one... FIGHT!… Expand

    Not so good facts: 60 fps is not always there, you can see frame drops on some stages, fatal blows, fatalities and so on. You need to be most of the time online to play this game. The Krypt is glitchy as hell and not really fun place to go through. You need to grind for fatalities, brutalities, cosmetics and so on. The story mode has massive plot halls.

You need to be most of the time online to play this game. The Krypt is glitchy as hell and not really fun place to go through. You need to grind for fatalities, brutalities, cosmetics and so on. The story mode has massive plot halls. You can collect some good stuff like brutalities and new skins in combat league, but it is so glitchy you don't want to go through it.

    Good facts: One of the balanced MK games I ever saw. It has a great roster of characters to choose from. Awesome DLC characters. The game continues with updates that add new brutalities and skins. One of the best tutorials out there. It's a well-done game for the Switch (even if there are some frame drops).

    All the whining that you can ignore: Since Mileena is not included - it's an awful game. It's a P2W game, you need to spend money. The graphics look ugly.

    Overall, I enjoy it and continue playing. It is a good fighting game when you actually hop in and play with other players. But I can't ignore those bad facts and wish they could be fixed or at least considered when making a new game.    … Expand

    a lot of these reviews scream 'picky.' the switch obviously isn't that powerful of a system to begin with, so regardless of how well mk11 is ported it's not gonna LOOK anywhere near on par with the pc/ps4/xbox versions. but looks don't speak for gameplay. you get the same 60fps action that'd you'd get on any other version, along with all of the modes, characters, and skins. if you're likea lot of these reviews scream 'picky.' the switch obviously isn't that powerful of a system to begin with, so regardless of how well mk11 is ported it's not gonna LOOK anywhere near on par with the pc/ps4/xbox versions. but looks don't speak for gameplay. you get the same 60fps action that'd you'd get on any other version, along with all of the modes, characters, and skins. if you're like me and value gameplay over graphics, go pick this up. it's worth it.… Expand

    The game crashes all the time, suffers frame drops and the image looks like a PC in the low.
    I won't even talk about Kript

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

    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.
