Mortal Kombat X

Mortal Kombat X is the tenth main game in the one-on-one fighting series and a sequel to the 2011 title Mortal Kombat. The game stays close to the visual style and the mechanics of the 2011 reboot. The main controls are still based on two types of punches and kicks, and blocking, to form combos with uppercuts, teleports, special moves that incorporate weapons and fatalities. The three-tiered energy meter from the previous title returns, making available X-Ray moves, powered up EX moves and combo breakers. As introduced in Injustice: Gods Among Us, characters can use the environment to reposition themselves or optionally use parts of it as weapons. There is once again a sprinting gauge, returning from Mortal Kombat 4. For the first time, each character has three variations with different moves and weapons, and the choice affects both the fighting style and the strategy of a match. The plot is set about 20 years after the previous game and introduces new characters, such as Cassie, the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, Kotal Kahn as the new emperor of the Outworld, and Takeda, the son of Kenshi. It can be played alone, on shared screen or online.
