Guts and glory game x box1/19/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() Multiplayer is the flesh and bones of the organism and likely the area you’ll be spending the majority of your time. Of course, your average gamer isn’t simply jumping into Mortal Kombat 1 for the story campaign. Perhaps more could have been done to splice the standard campaign formula with some fresher ideas, though by the final chapter, you’ll have witnessed your fair share of gleeful shenanigans. Graphics are of course incredible and it all runs effortlessly on the PlayStation 5. The writing is full of sassy quips between characters and there’s just this overall feeling of spirited theatrics that’s just so boisterous, ludicrous, and fun. The polish associated with the game is reflected beautifully in this main campaign. Hopefully, this simply provides options for more narrative and character development in the future of the game/series. Other characters, such as Nitara voiced by Megan Fox, ended up being a bit more impressive in design than in any actual narrative way. The acting performances are largely superb and we get to see certain characters take the spotlight in ways never seen prior. The campaign is appropriately short but a lot of fun.

The campaign will see you play as different characters across the Mortal Kombat cast as you explore the Earth-realm/Outworld rivalry and take on a threat that Liu Kang never saw coming. Much like other recent Mortal Kombat releases, the game’s story mode is made up of cutscenes interspersed between different 1 on 1 fights. In a bit of a role reversal, it’s Raiden who acts as Earth-realm’s champion, chosen by Liu Kang to compete in friendly rivalry with Outworld. The game introduces Liu Kang as the Fire God and Guardian of Earth-realm-literally developing the new timeline under his influence. Both a great entry point and a release full of fan service for existing Mortal Kombat fanatics, Mortal Kombat 1 brings the guts and glory you’d want from a release like this. This time around the universe is reset by Kronika’s Hourglass, a story beat introduced in the game’s previous installment, allowing for a sort of soft reset to the storyline. Mortal Kombat 1 marks the inevitable return of one of the most iconic fighting game franchises of all time, bringing about its known and loved level of violence and campy fun. There is always a finisher uppercut into a rain of blood and viscera-or something like that. ![]()
