MORTAL
KOMBAT X
- Amazing x-ray brutalities, cinematic finishing moves, and realistic gore combat combined in an amazing manner to make an excellent fighting game.
- One line you can say about the game, mortal kombat x is simply the best mortal kombat out there, well-polished and better than all the other mortal kombats in the series.
- A huge roster of 25 characters(some characters will be unlocked in the story or their variations from krypt)with an adiition of 8 new characters.
- The new engine makes the fights look much more realistic. Dashing and sprinting are faster and fighting looks awesome with all the fancy x rays and amazing brutalities.
- But yes one of the minor development glitches is that some characters have excess detailing (scorpion, De’vorah) whose minute details have been rendered very accurately but some others, for instance the special forces Sonia, look bland.
- The story is short and unique. Unlike mortal kombat 9, (here) the story starts with the description of shinok’s war against the elder gods. The story is then divided into 12 chapters.
- You would be provided with a single character for each chapter. You will have to win fights to progress through the storyline .
- Also, there are set of QuickTime events, one of which could be a character attacking you or your friends. You will see a quick button appear on the screen and you have to press that button before time is out.

Given the extensive list of characters and variations,
you will have plenty to choose from and adapt to different fighting styles. Here
you can bring your opponent down with variety of light as well as heavy
attacks. You also have choice of fatality and combos which you can execute to finish your
opponent in style. I generally preferred a series of light and heavy attacks to
bring the opponents health down.
Another place of interest is the krypt where you can spend your in game currency to buy new character variations as well as fatalities and skip tokens, You can enjoy roaming at various places (cemetery, spider cave).
Personally apart from paying money to blast statues (yes pay and statue goes boom!! Revealing a new character fatality, variation or concept art) what I liked here the most is the QTE(Quick Time Events) where you are being attacked by a wolf or spider.(really their sudden attack frightened me, hehe).
These things make the krypt look more like a mini game (small adventure with hidden treasures and monsters)than addition.
Multiplayer fights are one of the main attractions
of the game as here you will face real world mkx starters to veterans. Here no
mistake is tolerated as your opponents will not spare a second to break your
bones if they get the chance. So my recommendation is
to practice a lot with the game if you want to win in multiplayer matches.
Final conclusion:
Mortal Kombat X is something to be reckoned upon. Great graphics, variety of finishing moves and eye catching graphics will keep you glued. Story line doesn't matter much in such a well polished and thrilling game. Hands down to one of the best fighting games I have played. I recommend all hard core
fighting game fans to buy it, you'll not be disappointed.
