Those that have had their eyes on this app because the begin know that it was initially referred to as Mortal Kombat X, tying in with the then-latest console launch. Nicely, it has outlived that sport and its sequel now, and which means it’s time for Mortal Kombat 1 stuff! Diamond Mortal Kombat 1 Scorpion is one new fighter, and he’s a doozy. This replace additionally prepares the sport for the arrival of Nightwolf, Slasher Jason Voorhees, and Grandmaster Sub-Zero occasions.

The Story Recap does precisely what you suppose it might do, and the Strategic Coaching system… additionally does precisely what you suppose it might do. Nicely, that’s all good. Not very spooky, however I’m positive it’s filled with its personal particular model of tension.

It’s a fantastic addition to an superior sport! However I’m left to stall with a view to fill out this paragraph, as a result of there isn’t a lot to say past the truth that the brand new gods are there. Go. Play.
