We went hands-on with MortalKombat1 at Summer Game Fest and are already loving its bloody creative Kameo system.
This story is part of the Digital Trends Summer Gaming Marathon series After over three decades, how many ways can you make the same game?
Choose your Kameo The bulk of my demo would have me completing four fights in a tower format. I’d choose Kitana, refamiliarizing myself with Mortal Kombat’s streamlined, dial-up combo system. The basics of battle are easy enough, with standard attacks, throws, and blocks. It’s all easy enough to grasp, requiring less explanation than Street Fighter 6.There’s a big twist to all of that, though: Kameos.
“The freedom that you have in playing it … you’re able to select a Kameo that will either complement you or fill in a gap.,” Kirtzic tells Digital Trends. “Say that you want to play a zoning character, so you necessarily have a lot of up-close attacks. Your Kameo can fill in that gap where they are the thing you use up-close. The aerial combos … that’s the thing I’m most excited about.
Considering that Mortal Kombat 1 runs on new consoles, you can imagine how detailed the violence gets this time around. Fatal blows would show an X-ray view of me caving an opponent’s bones in, complete with sickening cracking sounds. In one match, Sub-Zero grabbed two icicles and jabbed them into my skull, prompting an X-ray view of them penetrating the bone on their way to my brain.
