Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) has exceeded expectations for me and hopefully for many others, as it has a unique story, classic characters, and stunning graphics.

Story: The story is a six-hour journey through the newly developed world created by Fire God Lu Kang. Uniquely developed, the story introduces you to many characters that have been re-created to have newly formed relationships. The story seems to put a lot of effort into characters that are much more minor, and that haven't gotten the attention they deserve in prior games. The mid-credit scene leaves you on the edge of your seat with its amazing ability to make you keep wanting more.

Lag: Although stunning, the game seems to have an issue (mostly in online gameplay) of lagging to such a degree it is almost impossible to play. As this is a newly released game, I am sure that the creators will jump into action and fix this issue immediately.

Invasion: Although not the Krypt, it is still a very interesting and unique new take on separate modes of gameplay. Set up in an almost board like way, you go through many small battles that allow you to earn new gear, accessories, and patterns for the twenty three amazing characters within the game. For me, it is an amazing new experience that I am sure people will love.

Kameo's: A newly adapted way to add other characters that have less popularity, these characters are people you can summon into battle. I think this is very good, as it is allowing us to see characters that haven't been adapted in many years. It also allows for a new look on battles as a whole.

This new Mortal Kombat game has exceeded all expectations for me, and all though there is much needed corrections with lag, the game has an overall great gameplay and beautifully adapted characters and story's. This is a must needed game for every single Mortal Kombat lover.

What were you guys thinking when you made this?

1. Character balancing. The character balancing is just terrible cause kameos like sareena can hit 50% damage combos without even trying whilst others take more effort and only get 35% max?. Also this issue is also with the playable characters cause nitara, havik, reiko, are all annoying and broken characters when you know they're combos which can hit 60% DAMAGE COMBOS!, Whilst others can't even get past 45 even if they tried?

2. The dlcs. The dlcs and the game in general is incredibly overpriced cause in the kombat pack you get 6 new playable characters like cyrax, noob saibot, and sektor, seems cool but when you look at the design you will think otherwise cause there's no reason for them to change cyrax and sektor from robots to humans with armor suits, and also noob saibots design isn't as bad as cyrax and sektors but it still is quite bad cause they gave him a bad looking hat but a decent suit. And then in the kombat pack you also get a rushed part 2 to the story mode and that's it. How much does this rubish kombat pack cost you may ask, 30 BUCKS! AND THE BASE GAME COST 70 BUCKS? ARE YOU SERIOUS ED BOON FOR THIS YOU SHOULD GET SUED FOR THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT IT EXPECTING GOOD THINGS FROM IT.

Overall don't ever waste your money on this terrible mortal kombat game.

Been an MK fan since 1992, played every one, and found something to love about each along the way. The size, scope and detail of a game like MK1 in 2023 is enormous. I felt the reboot was refreshing, beautiful, injecting tons of details and twists over a 30 year history.

No, the game wasn't perfect and really outside of just a "fighting game" there weren't a ton of other modes that we grew accustomed to over the years. Additionally, the lack of online modes and missing crossplay were kind of shocking upon release. But the core of the game, the roster, the simplified meters/mechanics from the previous game, made for a great feeling game. I feel the roster here currently is one of the best (next to MK9).

I have stuck with it over the last year+ and it has only gotten better, added some great characters/kameos, additional 3hr story, stages, animalities and crossplay. As it stands now, I still enjoy it. I am disappointed that we live in such an instantly negative generation where complaining becomes a runaway snowball to the point of this past weeks rumors surfacing that supposedly "the game is dead and Kombat Pack 3 is dead/cancelled". The game is not "trash" by any stretch, and I'm thankful to everyone who busted their talent to make this entry possible. Including Ed Boon who has remained steadfast to the quality of this franchise throughout 30+ years, and a bunch of legal transitions (Midway, WB, etc). The game is awesome. One if the best rosters in the franchise's history, and if KP3 does happen, it will cap it off nicely.

I am hopeful we get the already promised KP3, and this latest news is just a publicity stunt of sorts. I am here for it. Blow everyone away with some unexpected single player content, complete the roster, enhance online play with lobbies and better menu system, rerelease some old classic titles, emulated with online multiplayer, just some thoughts.

Thanks MK team.

I realized a long time ago that the developments of Mortal Kombat are real talkers. Mortal Kombat 1 just confirmed it. I can't be a fan of this series anymore. I'm tired of developers Mortal Kombat. This is not a Mortal Kombat, but a nightmare. The graphics are worse than in Mortal Kombat 11, the characters smile at each other for some reason, constantly crashes. It's not worth wasting your time on this at all. The ratings of the game are intentionally overestimated. She is not worthy of the award she received. It would be better if everything ended on Mortal Kombat 11. I do not know to what extent you need to sit in pink glasses to believe in MK1. That's it, Mortal Kombat is dead... I'm not even betting 0 out of 10.

If your here wondering if you should pick up this game at your local store so you can see what the newest edition of mortal kombat looks like you might want to get 11, mk1 is single handedly the worst game and I mean absolutely devastating blow to the mortal kombat franchise, the whole game is based around transactions so you can play it, and dont get me started on the roster, it doesn't even have a tenth as many characters to play with then 11 had, the customization is terrible the only way to be good is spend countless hours or just button mash like an idiot, this whole game had so much hype and basically died out as soon as it actually came out. Seriously dont waste your money/time in this piece of garbage. Some people arnt gonna like what I said but its the truth.
