We couldn’t fault the story, the fighting (which is as refined and sophisticated as you’ll see anywhere) or the visuals (which are absolutely drop dead gorgeous). Most of what it does, is perfectly well done.

You’ve got a fully-featured online mode where you can take you skills online and get decimated by players who know all the cheapest characters and moves but if you can tolerate playing against pricks, you’ll be well catered for in terms of competition here. These will presumably be supported for years, giving you plenty of reasons to come back and play. These are limited time towers that appear and disappear and have a focus on modifiers that change up some of the basic rules of combat. With 37 characters to play through, there is a hell of a lot to see here.

Here you pick a character and play through a series of fights before getting their ending sequence. You’ve got the Towers which act as the equivalent of the old arcade mode. However, beyond that you’ve got the main game itself which offers an almost-endless amount of content.

The DLC that was added later, Aftermath, continues the story but this time focusing on the original big bad, Shang Tsung, voiced by the great Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa who just seems to be having the time of his life stepping back into the role he had in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie adaptation.Īll told, there’s a good chunk of story here, several hours, and that really gives Mortal Kombat 11 a lot of value to both hardcore fight obsessives and people who just want to button mash and be entertained. It’s a time-hopping epic of a story but it’s great stuff with some great visuals, decent acting and lots of opportunity to step into the action. It’s all a bit confusing but thankfully Netherrealm have, as per usual, included a meaty story mode here which works through the story from the perspective of several fighters.

Suffice to say that the likes of Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage and a bunch of kids need to figure out a way to stop her but, of course, in this timeline of Mortal Kombat, previous heroes Liu Kang and Kung Lao are evil zombie men now. She’s decided that Raiden needs to be struck from the annuls of history altogether and she sets about a plan to rewrite all of the history of the realms but in a sort of mad, Thanos kind of way. The story now is that Raiden has gone a bit power crazy and that gets noticed by Kronika, the time-manipulating mother of Shinnock who himself was like the fifth or sixth major bad guy of the series. The main things to be aware of though are that, yes, this is the 11th main game in the series (there have been spin-offs as well though) and it continues the story that itself was rebooted back with Mortal Kombat (the confusingly named 2009 game that was actually the ninth in the series).

You can read our thoughts on the PS4 version here and that’ll give a very good account of this game because not much has changed in the game’s move over to the ninth generation. All combined that gives an impressive roster of 37 characters but before we get into all of that, let’s recap what this game is about. What you get for your money is the original game, the DLC and the two Kombat packs which add a range of new characters. We’ve reviewed Netherrealm’s spectacularly gory fighting game, Mortal Kombat 11, previously, along with its Aftermath DLC but both have made it across to the PS5 as part of this, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate.
