You probably should hate them, but they grew on me quickly, offering interesting variations on their ancestral characters. They’re flippant, snarky, and filled with angst. The second generation characters feels like they’re Mortal Kombat’s reaction to a newer, younger audience following a trend of bringing younger character. Most of these newcomers are children of old favorites like Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, and Takeda Takahashi. The franchise staples of Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Scorpion, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, and more are back, but MK X adds a few other characters that are surprisingly fun. It all starts with a good - though slightly less than Mortal Kombat 9’s - mix of characters that are well balanced. Mortal Kombat X still captures the spirit of this competition. Fighting games have always been at their best when two friends go head-to-head in a room, watching their health bars drop, screaming curses at each other and overreacting when the final blow is dealt. Sitting down with a friend and playing around with new characters, learning their special moves, and ending with grisly Fatalities is where Mortal Kombat truly shines. Mortal Kombat is still the most fun in its purest form.
