Gameplay

'Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate' serves up a smorgasbord of brutal brawls and fatalities that will leave you shaking your head and laughing maniacally. The game is divided into three main flavors: the traditional fighting game action, a story mode, and a variety of online modes to pit your skills against others worldwide. The Kustom Variation feature allows players to create and customize their own fighters, bringing a sprinkle of uniqueness to the already large roster of 37 characters. Adding to the frantic fun and frantic buttons mashing is the introduction of Fatal Blows and Krushing Blows, adding yet another layer to the combat mechanics. Think of them as the middle finger to your opponent when you drop their health below 30%. Also making a comeback are beloved classics like Friendships, where instead of gruesome, you can befriend your opponent, because why not?
