Mortal Kombat has always felt brutish compared to the elegant flow of Street Fighter 4. The story would be irrelevant if the fighting was rubbish. It’s batshit, obviously, but so lovingly executed that I was swept along regardless. Taking place over 25 years, it fleshes out the histories of notable characters by introducing us to their children (all of whom inherit the fisticuffs gene). However, unlike any previous game in the series, it adds marrow to Mortal Kombat’s narrative skeleton. It has horrendous, hilarious fatalities which draw gasps then revolted laughter the most enjoyable, immediate fighting of any Mortal Kombat game and, quite surprisingly, an actual story.Īdmittedly, it’s more gore than Gore Vidal: QTEs of cartoon fistfights and X-rays of exploding testicles illustrate a world where blind swordsmen and fallen Hollywood idols lead military incursions.
