The Challenge Towers have been upgraded to Living Towers, offering rotating matches against foes under specialty rules. There’s a first-person dungeon called the Krypt to explore where you can unlock certain extras. Being a Mortal Kombat game, the offerings don’t stop short at just 1 v 1 fighting modes and story. New and old, there are twenty-four fighters on disc to eviscerate. Kotal is served by majordomo D’vora, an insect woman, and Erron Black, a Western gunfighter-lookin’ chap. The new ruler of Outer-realm is Kotal Kahn, an Aztec war god who came out of nowhere but Ed Boon’s imagination. All of the new Earth-realm fighters have familiar backgrounds to draw from, but the new cast from Outer-realm and Nether-realm are pitched more out of left field. Kung Lao’s cousin, Kung Jin, is in the mix, laying down the smack with a versatile archery set. Johnny Cage and Sonya have a daughter named Cassie that has her mother’s precision and her father’s energy. But there’s always a bigger baddie, and Shao Kahn’s death fuels the invasion of the Earth-realm by Shinook, an evil elder god with an army of undead former Kombat characters at his beck.Ī new generation of fighters has cropped up on every side of the conflict to get their share of action. In the ninth Mortal Kombat, thunder god Raiden undid the complete timeline leading before, and succeeded in defeating the evil Shao Kahn. Mortal Kombat X has the onerous duty of being the sequel to a series reboot. But despite its best efforts, I come away shaking my head at the greasy, awkward stranger this franchise has become to me… With advancements in graphics, multiplayer, online, and a higher bar for storytelling, Mortal Kombat is trying to sell an improved arcade experience for our living rooms. Netherrealm Studios is now on the tenth entry in their fighting series with Mortal Kombat X, and age has born mixed results. Yep, Mortal Kombat has always had a special vibe with me since that fateful middle school band banquet. But fueled by the emenating sound effects and the caffeine surging through my preteen frame, I blindly lashed my way to victory. The place was coincidence, the fight over anything but the machine. My first real fight took place in front of a Mortal Kombat cabinet. This week, Ian is killing it with Mortal Kombat X, out now for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This is Load File, always digging into digital gaming and entertainment.
