![]() The X-Ray’s been rebranded the Fatal Blow and can be activated only when you’re low on health yourself, making it more of a comeback move and less an instant-win button. Why? Because when it filled, you could do an “X-Ray,” a brutal all-or-nothing move that came with a gory animation and could take nearly half an opponent’s health away.Īll those enhanced moves just sort of wasted away in favor of the X-Rays, so NetherRealm’s divorced the two. You’d see it in tournaments, where players are more strategic, but the average Mortal Kombat fan likely saved the meter. ![]() “In theory” because, well, nobody really did this. In theory, you’d then use this meter to “Enhance” certain moves, doing extra damage or breaking up an opponent’s combo. Starting with 2011’s Mortal Kombat reboot, you’d steadily fill a meter during a fight-small amounts by landing blows on an opponent, larger amounts by taking blows yourself. From that (admittedly underinformed) standpoint, Mortal Kombat 11 is the strongest of the modern trilogy and perhaps the best fighting game NetherRealm’s ever built. Keep in mind I am no pro-level fighting game competitor, just someone hoping to pull off a few combos and have fun. Ronda Rousey’s voice acting for Sonya Blade is a particularly sore spot, her lifeless reads sucking the momentum out of that substory.īut for the most part it’s inspired, enough so I’ve spent half this review talking about emotions in a fighting game before discussing the actual fights. Kronika’s time-bending minion Geras is underdeveloped as well, never fully explaining his motivations or his capabilities, nor accomplishing much. Mortal Kombat X’s cowboy Erron Black shows up a half-dozen times for instance, with his older and younger selves placed on opposite sides of the conflict, to no avail. The cast is large, and some get less of a focus than they should. Most mainline characters have a satisfying arc though, even caricature-of-himself Johnny Cage. Per usual I felt most drawn to Scorpion, now Hanzo Hasashi, who buried his grudge with Sub-Zero in X and must reckon with what that means when his hate-filled younger self reappears. Other times it’s quieter, an all-out fight giving way to an oddly poignant scene between two old rivals. Sometimes the results are rendered epic, two demigods fighting for control of passage to the afterlife. Love and hatred, jealousy and betrayal, they all come due in Mortal Kombat 11.
