MKX does a fantastic job with noises associated with cutting flesh, bubbling blood, organs sliding to the floor and more to make the weak of heart lose their lunch. Without these sounds, the game wouldn't make kombatants cringe as Cassie Cage crushes her opponent's testicles with an uppercut.
The real factor that makes this game so visceral is the utilization of gruesome and horrid sound effects whilst initiating X-rays and Fatalities. The soundtrack found in the game provides good ambiance while also retaining the classic feel and tempo expected of a game in the franchise. These new additions make gameplay feel more fluid and natural as you have a better grasp of controlling the map and positions between you and your opponent. This is coupled with the all-new energy bar, located beneath the health bar, which prevents continuous spamming with interactables and rushing. When an object on a map flashes, players can press R1 to interact with it, which initiates actions such as boosting across the map to throwing an old lady. Other new gameplay mechanics make their way into this new installment, such as Environmental Interactables. Players may even encounter Dragon Challenges that offer Koin rewards, giving fighters more incentive on trying to complete them under the harsh conditions of a random modifier. This mode features Hourly, Daily, and Weekly updates to the randomly generated towers and gives random modifiers to the player's matches, making it feel like a fresh experience every time that you climb. Living Towers is a change up from the original Towers and is surprisingly entertaining. Kombatants can create their own challenges, set with match modifiers, and issue those challenges to friends in order test their might. Mortal Kombat X does a fantastic job at bringing online players closer together, as well as creating a fun new way for players to challenge friends with Tower Challenges. Players will explore and run through the graveyard in first-person perspective, which provides an eerie and dreadful feeling as creepy sounds come from all directions. The Krypt provides what it has always provided throughout MK history: concept art, Fatality instructions, alternative costumes and more. A warning to players out there to keep their wits about them while spending their hard earned koins. The famous Krypt is also back, and with it a new horror that lurks through its graveyard. This is a fun way to compete with others as players brag about their group being more superior in the scoreboards. That Faction XP serves a meta game that pitches Faction against Faction, with people competing all over the world in order to make their Factions better than the others. Throughout the game you earn experience and level up, but a portion of those experience points are also transferred to your Faction. Fortunately, those unhappy with their initial choice can switch at anytime. This could have been used as an instructional sequence for players to practice the fighters' Fatalities.Īnother new addition is the introduction of Factions, providing players with five from which to choose: the White Lotus, Brotherhood of Shadow, Lin Kuei, Black Dragon, and Special Forces. Although this adds something for the player to do during pauses for cutscenes, it is gimmicky and laughably easy to perform, with only one instance of being able to perform a Fatality during a cutscene.
Initially, this feature was a surprise, as there is no prior warning, but a sufficient amount of time to execute the QTE is provided. One of the game's new features is the addition of quick-time events in the cutscenes between matches. Understandably, the exposition detailing the backstory between the pact with Earthrealm and Outworld makes sense to explain in the game, but character history would have been better left in a written profile or unlockable video. However, the dialogue within the cutscenes suffers from far too much exposition, creating awkward breaks in fighting to listen to the enemy's history at inappropriate times. The story is interesting and continues from the last game's ending, presenting a fresh connection between characters after so many years. MKX includes fresh faces such as Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, Kung Jin, and Takeda Takahashi in a growing cast of characters, expanding the alternate universe into something more complex. The story mode can be completed in 4-5 hours (less if a player is very good at kombating and skips cutscenes) making it feel shorter than the previous Mortal Kombat.
MORTAL KOMBAT CHAOTIC SOUNDS SERIES
Mortal Kombat X takes place 25 years after this alternate timeline, and follows many of the new and classic fighters in the series as they battle the forces of Shinnok, the fallen Elder God. In 2011, Mortal Kombat Trophies provided fans with a reboot of the franchise with an interesting take on the original game's storyline.
