Mortal Kombat 11: A Violent and Bloody Fighting Game

The series of violent and bloody fighting games, Mortal Kombat, returns again four years after the release of its last installments and we now reach the eleventh installment, the third version of the series since it received the robot that rearranged the maps steered the series in the right direction, although the final installment provided an entertaining experience. It is fun, but suffered from some problems, such as the lack of balance between some characters and the game’s targeting towards general players without focusing on the professional player. We will see if Part 11 followed the same steps.

NetherRealm returns to a cinematic story mode similar to the previous two versions, but this time it managed to present an interesting story. The story takes place some time after the end of the events of the last part and is about the character Kronika, who began manipulating time, causing the past and present to come together in a way that threatened the timeline of the story, and here it is: Raiden, the protector of Earthworld, and his companions return to attempt to discover and thwart Kronika’s plans before it is too late. The direction of the film clips has noticeably improved, and the story is not just an excuse to justify events, as it now contains some of the important questions of the Mortal Kombat world and the interaction between the characters is more spontaneous and realistic in some moments become. The exciting ones and the funny ones, and the story will last around 5 or 6 hours, with most of them being cinematic clips, which is a very appropriate age as the story stays exciting and interesting and ends before it gets boring.

The team was once again working with a modified version of the Unreal Engine 3 engine, which raised some concerns, especially given the different technical levels we noticed in Mortal Kombat. They receive special care and the fatal blows or deaths occur with the most violence we have ever seen. In general, the game’s technical appearance is almost flawless, and there are no clear and influential criticisms of the experience in this regard.

The game features many distinctive and varied battlefields in its backgrounds, with many characters receiving radical changes in their designs. Maybe you like the new designs, maybe you don’t, based on your personal opinion, since I see that the previous part is better in terms of quality character designs in general, but it doesn’t affect the game. Experience the game at all, on the audio level. The game offers a variety of tunes, but these are very ordinary and barely serve their purpose, but that’s not a strength here, and some may consider it a weakness, as we expect fighting games to deliver enthusiastic tunes that build tension and intensity of fighting increase.

Speaking of the game system, the variations or formations return again, but this time there are two basic formations. Each formation has a few different attacks and you can design your own formation. We will return to address this point later. The game system receives many important changes, such as the energy meter at the bottom being replaced by two counters. The horizontal counter is for attack, where you can double the power of your special attacks with the push of a button. while the vertical counter serves to protect you and save you from consecutive blows that the opponent inflicts on your character. Both meters automatically recharge during battle, and each meter can be used twice in a row when charged. Complete.

A More Strategic and Professional Gameplay System

The defense meter has become more useful as it is not limited to just protecting you from the opponent’s attacks. If you are trapped in a corner of the arena, you can use the defense meter to roll to the other side and escape the enemy’s attacks. You can instead make your character stand up late after being knocked down. By standing up straight away, you mess up the timing of the opponent, who traps you in the corner and continues to throw consecutive punches, allowing you to get up and counterattack as soon as the opponent’s attack ends. X-rays have been replaced with lethal strikes, available to you when your health bar reaches a third. To give you the opportunity to come back into battle strong, this can only be used once in battle, and if you are unable to use it, it will be available again after a short period of time. The change to the energy display system is very useful, as in the past you may have had to forego damage in order to fill the X-meter. Ray, but you now have greater freedom to exploit your resources, make the greatest maneuvers possible and strengthen your attacks.

The other new addition is the “Krushing Blows,” which are bone-crushing and organ-destroying blows that you deliver when certain conditions are met. They deal double damage or a bleed effect for a short time and are the trump card that can save you for critical moments when you exhaust all your options. Blocking has also become less practical, since the damage you suffer in case of continuous blocking is not small, and this forces you to fight or use error-free blocks, thus blocking the opponent’s attacks at an ideal time to reduce the damage of the block and perform a quick counterattack. Talking about the new modifications and additions that the game offers will take a lot of time, and the bottom line is: the game system has actually become more professional and strategic, and while the amateur player still enjoys it, Mortal Kombat 11 offers one Experience aimed at fighting game professionals and as you master the various game mechanics you will be able to better study the battle in which you are fighting. There is more than one way to choose the most appropriate strategy to To defeat your opponent.

The tutorial phase in the game explains and teaches the various game mechanics in an excellent and beautiful way, ranging from the basics of the game to in-depth details such as the number of frames required to hit and the advantage that comes from the differences in those frames. If you are a professional and want to improve your skills or become a professional in fighting games, this phase will give you everything you basically need to know to start your journey.

We’re talking about designing your characters and formations again. There are some characteristic abilities for characters that do not change, and there are special abilities that you can add, and each of them requires a specific slot. Some skills take the place of a single skill and some take the place of two skills. You can design the accessories for your character, but the design system only affects three parts. From the character’s armor, while the rest of the details are changed through costumes or skins and the design system is not as extensive as expected, in addition, your squad cannot be used in the online game phase, making the design of your squad less important.

Rich Content and Hours of Fun

The game is rich in content that offers hours of fun. In addition to the story mode and the PvP battle mode on the network or the local battle mode, there are the traditional Klassic Towers, in which you fight a group of battles that end with confrontation with the leader at the end of the tower. We also have the Towers of Time, which are towers with different traps. In every confrontation you will find some confrontations where rockets are fired at you or fires appear beneath you. These traps tend to limit your experience but give the opponent an advantage, and while they can be fun at times, many of them are unbalanced and make the experience more annoying than enjoyable. To have fun, you have tools that you get by playing different stages, and these tools are meant to help you avoid traps, but they are not very useful. For example, when you get missiles, you can activate a tool that protects you from one or two missiles and then you will no longer be able to use it for a very long time, despite the great pleasure that this stage can bring, but currently have to there are many things to balance.

The accessories that we talked about before and that can be changed play an important role in strengthening your character in the Towers of Time mode and can be obtained by completing various confrontations in the different stages. Each changeable part of your character’s clothing can be strengthened with a group of useful additions to the phase, but in order to use these additions, the level of that part must be increased, and the method is to play repeatedly with the same character over long periods of time, which makes it boring. Also, the rewards The rewards you get in Towers of Time mode are unexpected and in many cases the rewards are worthless and not worth the time you spend completing the tower. Especially given the unbalanced challenge you often face.

Crypt mode returns once again, and this time you’ll wander around Shang Tsung Island to collect the various treasures hidden within, unlocked through the currency you earn as you play. This mode returns and offers a variety of puzzles, ranging from some simple puzzles to others that require some thinking. They will move on. Throughout the island you will find new weapons and tools with which you will be able to, and by solving puzzles, gain access to more secrets and hidden treasures, and this stage will provide you with many hours for fans of such experiences .

Mortal Kombat 11 is a strong return to the series that is still fun for general gamers, but it is aimed at professionals with a strategic and deep gameplay system. Although the Towers of Time mode currently needs a lot of modifications, the rest of the content is like the Crypt mode and traditional towers are an addition. In addition to the online competitive mode, it gives you everything you want from a fighting game, and with its Excellent story mode, this game is an unforgettable experience for fans of fighting games.
