Mortal Kombat: Deception

Mortal Kombat: Deception is the sixth installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise. It is based on the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance engine, and players once again have to fight to stop a new threat. The standard Arcade, Versus and Practice modes return, as well as new items to be found in the Krypt. There are also new Konquest Adventure, Chess Kombat and Puzzle Kombat modes, which act as mini-games next to the main fighting. After the alliance of Quan Chi and Shang Tsung defeats Raiden's warriors, a new evil appears. Onaga, the Dragon King and former emperor of Outworld, seeks the six artifacts known as the Kamidogu, which grant him supreme power over all realms. The main protagonist is Shujinko, a warrior who can copy the abilities of other fighters. The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions offer online competitive play against other players. The GameCube version does not include online play, but it has Goro and Shao Kahn as exclusive playable characters. The game was released in 2004 by Midway Games, and it supports local split screen play.
