Mortal Kombat 11 (NSP, XCI) ROM + v1.0.26 Update + All DLCs

Mortal Kombat 11 Mortal Kombat is back, and the new Best chapter of the cult series will be even cooler. Completely new options for personalizing the hero will provide unprecedented opportunities to customize the fighters and give them unique individual traits. This is a 2019 fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is the eleventh main installment in the Mortal Kombat series and a sequel to Mortal Kombat X (2015). The game was announced at The Game Awards 2018 and was released in North America and Europe on April 23, 2019, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One—except for Europe’s Switch version which was released on May 10, 2019.[8] It was released on Stadia on November 19, 2019.

GAMEPLAY

Like the previous three games in the series, including Mortal Kombat Mobile, Mortal Kombat 11 is a 2.5D fighting game. Alongside the returning Fatalities, Brutalities, Stage Fatalities, Friendships, and Qualities, new gameplay features are introduced, such as Fatal Blows and Crushing Blows. Fatal Blows are special moves similar to the X-ray moves in the 2011 reboot and Mortal Kombat X. Like X-ray moves, Fatal Blows deal a large amount of damage, but unlike them, they only become available when a player’s health drops below 30%, and can only be performed once per match.

Crushing Blows are a critical hit variation of a given special move or combination, triggered when certain requirements are met and cause deadly effects by showing graphic body injuries and draining at most times 30% health in a single hit. New to the series is a Flawless Block mechanic, which allows for a comeback window after blocking an attack with precise timing. Another returning finisher is Mercy, last seen in the Mortal Kombat Trilogy, where the winning player can opt to revive their opponent after the “Finish Him/Her” prompt, causing the opponent to gain a small amount of life.

Mortal Kombat 11 introduces a Kustom Variation feature which offers a character customization system similar to the Gear system in NetherRealm Studios’ previous DC Comics fighting game Injustice 2, improving over the Variation system featured in Mortal Kombat X. Each character has an initial set of skins, gears and moves, which can be further customized by the player. However, unlike Injustice 2, in Mortal Kombat 11, the characters’ appearance does not determine their abilities, allowing players to create custom move lists independently of their character’s appearance.

Mortal Kombat 11 is the latest installment in the critically acclaimed franchise, providing a deeper and more personalized experience than ever before. The all-new Custom Character Variations give you unprecedented control of your fighters to make them your own. Featuring a roster of new and returning Klassic Fighters, Mortal Kombat’s best-in-class cinematic story mode continues the epic saga over 25 years in the making. Players take on the role of a variety of past and present characters in a time-bending new narrative that pits Raiden against Kronika, the Keeper of Time. Packed to the brim with multiple modes, including the Towers of Time, allowing players to test their skills through various challenges, providing more ways than ever to continue the Mortal Kombat 11 experience.

PLOT

Following Shinnok’s defeat, Dark Raiden plans to protect Earthrealm by destroying all of its enemies and making an example of Shinnok, decapitating him. This latter act inspires Kronika, the keeper of time, to rewrite history to undo Raiden’s interference and erase him from existence. Two years later, a Special Forces strike team led by Sonya Blade, Cassie Cage, and Jacqui Briggs attacked the Netherrealm, with Raiden assisting. The team succeeds in destroying the Netherrealm castle, at the cost of Sonya’s life. Kronika allies with revenants and Netherrealm’s rulers, Liu Kang and Kitana, immediately afterward.

Meanwhile, Kotal Kahn, the current emperor of Outworld, attempts to execute Shao Kahn’s loyalist Kollector but is interrupted by a time storm that brings Shao Kahn, Skarlet, Baraka, and younger versions of Kano, Erron Black, Jade, Raiden, Kitana, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Jax, Scorpion, Kabal, and Kung Lao from the past and erases Dark Raiden from existence. A battle erupts in Kotal’s Coliseum until D’Vorah transports Baraka, Kollector, Skarlet, Shao Kahn, Black, and Kano to her hive, recruiting them into Kronika’s fold.

Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Raiden appear at Earthrealm’s Special Forces HQ after allying with Kotal while Jade and Kitana aid Kotal in protecting Outworld from Kronika’s forces. Liu Kang and Kung Lao investigate the Wu Shi Academy and encounter Kronika’s right-hand man, Geras. Their battle ends with Geras using his chronokinetic powers to escape with powerful energy capsules containing Earthrealm’s life force.

The Special Forces learn that Sektor, backed by Noob Saibot and a cyberized Frost, has reinstated the Cyber Lin Kuei to build an army of cyborgs out of kidnapped Lin Kuei warriors for Kronika. Grandmasters Sub-Zero and Hanzo Hasashi shut down Sektor’s factory with Cyrax’s aid, forcing Geras, Black, and both versions of Kano to retreat to Kronika’s Keep, where they revive Sektor and rebuild the cybernetic army themselves.

Meanwhile, Raiden consults with the Elder Gods. They cannot intervene as the time storm is draining their power, but Shinnok’s twin sister Cetrion gives him a clue on how to defeat Kronika. During a later attempt, Raiden discovers Cetrion had betrayed and killed the Elder Gods to serve her mother: Kronika. Kotal and Jade go to a Tarkatan camp to ask for their help fighting against Shao Kahn, but Kotal’s hatred towards the Tarkatans causes Jade to battle him before Shao Khan appears and captures him.

The Special Forces base is destroyed by the Black Dragon gang and Kronika’s cybernetic army, with the younger Johnny and Sonya captured, the elder Johnny wounded, and Sektor self-destructing in the process. Due to this and the destruction of Sub-Zero’s Lin Kuei Temple and the Wu Shi Academy’s Sky Temple, Earthrealm’s heroes reconvene at Hasashi’s Fire Garden. Cassie leads a strike team to save her parents, where Sonya kills the younger Kano to erase his present self from existence. Meanwhile, Kitana, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao battle Baraka to secure an alliance between him and Sheeva. With their aid, Kitana successfully defeats and blinds Shao Kahn, uniting the Outworld factions and inheriting the throne from Kotal.

AFTERMATH

Following Kronika’s defeat, Fire God Liu Kang and Raiden attempt to utilize Kronika’s Hourglass to restore history, but are interrupted by Shang Tsung, Fujin, and Nightwolf, who were all imprisoned in a timeless void by Kronika for refusing to join her. Shang Tsung elaborates that, due to the destruction of the Crown of Souls when Liu Kang defeated Kronika, the Hourglass cannot be used to change history without destroying it. He convinces Liu Kang to send him, Fujin, and Nightwolf back in time to retrieve the Crown of Souls before Cetrion does. Despite Raiden’s suspicions of Shang Tsung, Liu Kang agrees and sends the trio back, staying behind to protect the Hourglass. Shang Tsung, Fujin, and Nightwolf are transported to the Coliseum just as Kitana confronts Shao Kahn.

They attempt to flee undetected, but news spreads of their arrival, prompting Kronika to retaliate. To face Cetrion on his island, Shang Tsung determines their best option is to resurrect Sindel, so they head to the Netherrealm and capture her revenant. Returning to Outworld, Shang Tsung uses Sheeva’s blood debt to Sindel to gain access to the Soul Chamber and restore Sindel despite fierce resistance from Kitana, Jade, Kotal, Black, and Baraka. Sindel accompanies Shang Tsung and the others to his island, where Fujin defeats Kronika’s forces and convinces present-day Jax to defect early while Sindel defeats Cetrion and helps the group capture the Crown. Fujin and Shang Tsung travel to the Fire Garden to convince Raiden of Shang Tsung’s alliance. When Kronika attempts to intervene, Raiden, Fujin, and Shang Tsung fend her off, though she reveals the sorcerer was the one who designed the Crown.
