On the one hand, that’s actually Peter Weller providing the dialogue, and seeing him step out of his Ford Taurus and interact with the likes of Scorpion, Spawn and The Joker never gets old. RoboCop is easily the most prolific, but he also ends up being the most divisive. Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath doesn’t really add anything worthwhile in terms of story, but it does hint at where the inevitable twelfth instalment could go when that unannounced sequel eventually tests its might.Īs with previous DLC packs, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath also introduces three new characters to an already over-stuffed roster: RoboCop, Fujin and Sheeva. He gets some of the best fight scenes in the entire expansion, and you can tell he’s having a ball hamming it up as the dark sorcerer who can’t help himself when it comes to betraying his closest allies. It’s quite a predictable story, but none of that really matters as Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa’s Shang Tsung takes centre stage and gleefully steals every scene he’s in. We’ll try to avoid spoiling the major beats of the main story mode (just in case you haven’t played or finished it yet), but the gist involves an uneasy alliance of warriors coming together to revisit the past in order to reforge history.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)
Thankfully, Mortal Kombat 11 sports one of the most enjoyable story modes to ever grace the genre – one that explores the entire history of the series, building to a brilliantly over-the-top finale – so with Aftermath we get to find out what happens next. Narrative expansions are nothing new if you’re an open-world explorer or an experienced RPG player, but for fighting games? This is largely uncharted territory. Now the Chicago-based developer has raised its own bar yet again, delivering not just a raft of DLC characters but a full-on expansion in the form of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath.
The alternate fighting styles of X fed into the impressive facial animation of Injustice 2, with that second round of DC super-fighting leaving its mark on the customisation depth of last year’s Mortal Kombat 11. Ever since the launch of Mortal Kombat X in 2015, NetherRealm Studios’ output has continued to soar in quality.
