Mortal kombat 6 characters11/5/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() Some returning characters received questionable changes though. Staples like Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Raiden are instances of this. The usual badass fan favourites return, meaning we did get some good characters. Lei Mai who had made her first appearance in Deadly Alliance made a cameo in Mortal Kombat X. Bo Rai Cho, Frost, and Kenshi have all been playable in at least one game post the 6th gen. Some new characters have returned and been expanded and fleshed out in newer games. Unfortunately this was a trend with the 3D era MKs. But most of them were uninteresting and in Mavado’s case trying too hard to look edgy. Some would say he was the best thing to come out of the 3D era Mortal Kombat games. The new characters are a mixed bag, characters like Frost are OK and I personally liked Kenshi. Kombatantsĭeadly Alliance contains eleven new characters, one of them (Moloch) is unplayable however and acts as a sub-boss. An MK dragon logo gets placed under one of three cups and is moved around and you choose which one you believe the logo is under, a nice little addition. A new test mini-game called Test Your Sight is part of the game too. Test Your Might makes a return which was pretty sweet. Especially after the opening this game had. With the power of the 6th gen consoles, an interesting world and characters, it was a missed opportunity to explore the MK universe. Each stage sees you learn moves and combos for characters while you read about the story in text between the stages. The story mode in Deadly Alliance called ‘Konquest’ is poor, to say the least. Having the boss we have fought against on numerous occasions killed off-screen without much of a fight and not in some epic throw down makes him look like a chump. But they could have handled his death better. It could feel stale and old going up against him again. I can see why they killed Shoa Khan off though. And unfortunately, the ‘Deadly Alliance’ that is Quan Chi and Shang Tsung fails to feel as threatening as Shao Khan did. I’ll give it props for having the guts to do this, but having Liu Kang killed by having his neck snapped when he wasn’t really looking feels lame. In the space of roughly 3 minutes Quan Chi and Shang Tsung have teamed up and killed Mortal Kombat champion Liu Kang and main villain Shao Khan. I’m guilty of this myself though, so I was part of the problem as well.ĭeadly Alliance opens up with some bold story moves. Sticking whatever weapon they could in me and then running. It was an interesting idea but I found it resulted in too many people I faced playing like a coward. At the cost of losing the style with the weapon. ![]() Speaking of weapons, some characters could embed their weapon into the opposing Kombatant, slowly draining their health over time. Although I’m not the biggest fan of this mechanic, I did think it was cool back in the day when I changed styles and whipped out a sword as Scorpion. Character moves would change and the style switches could even be incorporated into combos. This allowed players to switch between three different fighting styles on the fly. But I found it fun and I still think you could even today if you’re a long-time MK fan.ĭeadly Alliance introduced the fighting style gameplay mechanic. I’ll admit it’s not anything that should be looked back at in awe for its greatness nor would it hold up in a competitive environment today. I personally liked the gameplay in Deadly Alliance. PAL regions would see the game the following year. Which was the trend with previous MK games.Ģ002 saw the release of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance in the NA region for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube along with a scaled-down version for the Game Boy Advance. Anyway, home consoles were getting bigger and the next entry in the series would be primarily for home consoles as opposed to being ported to consoles from the arcade. Mortal Kombat had already entered the world of 3D with Mortal Kombat 4 in the arcades, you know the one with ‘that’ picture of Quan Chi on the side of its cabinet. ![]()
