a great game with fun combos, and fun gameplay.

Mortal Kombat X (2015) brought a fresh yet brutal take on the iconic fighting game franchise, mixing classic gameplay with new mechanics, characters, and visuals. Here are the key elements often highlighted in reviews: Graphics and Presentation: One of the most striking improvements in Mortal Kombat X is its graphics. The game features incredibly detailed character models, stunning animations, and smooth transitions between moves and combos. The environments are beautifully designed, with interactive backgrounds and vivid effects that make every fight feel dynamic and intense. Combat System: The core of Mortal Kombat X's success is its refined combat system. The game introduces new mechanics, such as the "Variations" system, which gives each character multiple playstyles, offering players more customization and strategic depth. The fighting feels fast, fluid, and as brutal as ever, with the series' signature over-the-top Fatalities, Brutalities, and X-Ray moves. Roster of Characters: The game features a large and diverse roster of fighters, including classic characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Raiden, alongside new additions like Kotal Kahn, Ferra/Torr, and D'Vorah. Each fighter has their own unique moves, and the variety of styles ensures that there's something for every type of player, whether you prefer close-range brawling, zoning, or mix-ups. Story Mode: Mortal Kombat X features an engaging and cinematic story mode that continues the saga from Mortal Kombat 9. The narrative is exciting and well-paced, focusing on the next generation of fighters while still paying homage to the veterans. The story introduces new characters and deepens the lore of the Mortal Kombat universe, making it a more immersive experience. Online Play and Multiplayer: The game introduced a robust online mode with ranked matches, player matches, and tournaments, ensuring that competitive players have plenty of opportunities to test their skills. While the online experience can be hit-or-miss due to occasional connectivity issues, the gameplay itself remains engaging and enjoyable. Brutality and Fatalities: As with every Mortal Kombat game, the finishing moves in MKX are brutal and iconic. Fatalities have never been more satisfying, with new and innovative executions that capture the series’ trademark violence. In addition to Fatalities, the inclusion of Brutalities (instant, combo-based finishers) adds an extra layer of fun and creativity to the gameplay. Overall Appeal: Mortal Kombat X successfully balances being accessible to newcomers while offering enough depth for veteran players. The addition of new mechanics and characters gives it a fresh feel, while the classic elements ensure that long-time fans feel right at home. The game is fast-paced, filled with violence, and offers a variety of modes to keep players entertained. In conclusion, Mortal Kombat X is a brutal, beautiful, and highly refined entry in the franchise. It combines the best of what Mortal Kombat is known for—ferocious combat, a rich roster, and gory finishers—with new features that elevate the experience. Whether you're a casual player or a competitive fighter, Mortal Kombat X delivers on all fronts

The finishes and combos are amazing. The game play is still awesome and engaging by comparison even though there's a new title.

Really, really fun. Great amount of characters, awesome story mode, very entertaining. Definitely recommend checking this game out.

best suited game for those who want brutality expericences in combats

This game is absolutely amazing, down to the last thing. The combos, everything about it is soo clean and new to me, and in my opinion the skill gap for each game gets higher the older the game. WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY HILLARIOUS 🤣🤣 Anyway this game is a must get if you are currently bored of the new fighting games and want to get a feel of the vintage era or 2015, warned, the skill gap is the highest, thats why I love it. (I own in this order: MK11, MK1, and now MKXL)

this game is by far THE BEST MK game i have ever played very underrated collabed with some of my favorite horror franchises one of my favorite games and for a low price

Mortal Kombat X was the game that really got me into the franchise. It was probably the first MK game I played aside from the arcade. Getting to play it on the steam deck was a lot of fun. The kombat in X is super satisfying; very smooth and I got a better feel for combos than I had in the past. It felt easy to pick up again. The story is decent and the stages are pretty good too. And looking back at it, the character designs are pretty awesome––they don't feel too 'new', but don't feel stuck in the past either. I would have appreciated a better costume selection (and also a costume selection for every character would have been nice). On the topic of characters, the roster is pretty great. Though it's missing some of my favorite characters from the series, the overall variety it offers is pretty awesome.

I find mortal kombat so fun and the more you play the more the combos and controls become muscle memory to you. I really enjoy playing mileena, erron black and kenshi but im excited to try learn more characters. I have mainly just played the 1v1 fights with my friend and it can get competitive but we still have a good laugh trying to win against eachother. This is the first mortal kombat game I've bought as it was the cheapest I know it is older but I still think it is worth playing though I can't compare to the other games as I haven't played them but in this game they have a decent range of characters, I love that you can customise your banner and the storymode the little I have played of it is like watching a movie, it has some long cutscenes and then you eventually do 1v1 fights and it helps improve your fighting skills. I would definitely recommend this game I think it is quite enjoyable and funny to play, I love the character ult animations and finishers they're so brutal and creative. The only downside is in the 1v1 fights maybe its because the game is old but it can become laggy at times , the frames drop and the fighting ends up becoming slow for abit which happens to both players.
