Once you beat the demo and sit through a short “trailer” about Mortal Kombat, you can get right back to fatalitying people. Don’t worry though because the demo is very replayable. Ladder mode normally contains ten different stages you progress through but you can only play through three of them. With the Mortal Kombat demo you can only play Ladder mode, with four different characters, on two different levels. Otherwise Mortal Kombat fans…this game shows great potential! (Special info on fatalities at the bottom of the article).Īs with all demos you are restricted on what you can access. Let’s hope that since this was a demo NetherRealm Studios toned down the blood a bit. Sadly, except for the fatalities, I don’t see why this game would be banned anywhere.
Ever since the very first Mortal Kombat came out all those years ago…THE SERIES HAS BEEN EXCRUTIANTINGLY BLOODY. No Australians…I’m not relieved that you don’t get Mortal Kombat, I’m relieved because the ban should have confirmed that this rendition will be extremely violent. Mortal Kombat was a very disappointing game for me because the lack of gore (which I wanted to see!). In a way I was relieved because DC Universe vs.
Mortal Kombat X will be released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on April 14, 2015.Upon reporting on Mortal Kombat being banned in Australia, I expected massive blood and gore with broken bones viewable at every second of the game. The developer has yet to confirm those plans yet but Game Rant will keep you updated once more information is available.ĭo you think Mortal Kombat X's DLC strategy is a good idea? Should more games let people try DLC before they buy it?
And, if NetherRealm wants people to buy the DLC, it doesn't make sense for them to let people play it for free for long amounts of time, as players won't feel a need to hand over their money. The changes to the Premiere Tower will need to coincide with the release of each of the four DLC packs but it's unclear if Premiere Tower events will take place in between DLC releases. Unfortunately, Boon didn't reveal how long those event towers would last or how often they would change. A typical demo mode might not be so useful as it would only test a character against a normal level opponent, but in Tower Mode, players can see how they hold up against tougher fighters.
In Tower Mode, players go through a tower battling different kombatants and as they beat them and reach the higher levels, the enemies will gradually get more difficult. This method may help many players get a real feel for what the DLC characters are like. So it's really cool, it gives players a taste of what the character is like to play."
So for instance, if Jason comes along, we're going to have a Jason Tower, where you play as Jason and fight up in it-and you can even use that tower if you didn't even purchase Jason.
One changes every hour, one changes every day, and one is called a Premiere Tower, which is like an event tower. "Every day when you come on, there's going to be three Towers in the Living Towers section. Speaking to AngryJoe, the game's director Ed Boon explained: The developer has revealed Mortal Kombat X players will be able try before they buy via the game's newly announced Tower Mode. While new fans and returning Mortal Kombat players will be able to find a reason to buy the DLC, developer NetherRealm Studios wants to draw even more people in. There are four DLC packs in total and some of the content includes Predator and Jason Voorhees (from the Friday the 13th series) as playable characters and horror and Predator-themed skins. Mortal Kombat X will also get plenty of downloadable content too, with new skins and characters being offered.
A phenomenal amount of characters have already been announced for the game including returning favorites like Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade and new characters like gunslinger Erron Black.Īnd these are just the characters from the base game. While Mortal Kombat Xhas been making headlines for its fatalities, its new eSports league and its new 'Quitality' feature, one of the most talked about things in the game is its character roster.
