Mortal Kombat X (iOS / Android) – Review. Pay or die! – Onet.pl

As for the gameplay, it at first contact with smartfonowo-tabletowym Mortal Kombat X, one would think that NetherRealm Studios offered quite an interesting combination of a fight with a card game. Well, it is not particularly interesting. The authors presented in the form of cards all the warriors that we can send into battle (in each fight involves two triple teams), as well as various power-ups, to improve their chances of winning. Collecting them is one of the two main classes in Mortal Kombat X for Android and iOS-a.

And the other is, of course, have the same clashes, which were presented naturally in arcade form. But forget about the gameplay providing such experience and as much fun as the original. NetherRealm Studios has placed a considerable simplification. Now, in the battles we can not move freely around the boards, whether consciously decide brought out blows. The game somehow “playing itself” – characters move around the screen without our help, and combos are performed automatically. Our task is just a quick press of the screen and maneuvering your finger when you see the arrow. That’s it. But boredom …

However, the worst in Mortal Kombat X for Android and iOS-and that is, that the game was created only in order to strip at little cost us money. I use the word “strip” is not in this case an overstatement. Imagine that in a mobile production NetherRealm Studios have to pay for everything. If you want to skip microtransactions, it unlocks some of the characters at all. And for unlocking them all be paid together – a trifle – a few hundred dollars. In addition, through micropayments you can buy special attacks or points that allow us to develop warriors. Of course I understand that any such project is commercial in nature and must earn, but what did Warner Bros. in this case, it is simply distasteful.

In contrast, only positives can speak about graphic design Mortal Kombat X. This is an absolute first league in the category of mobile games. They had to turn a blind eye slightly, it could be mistaken for smartfonowo-tablet version of pecetowo-console. NetherRealm Studios finished a good job, moving all the characters, animations accompanying blows fatality. Naturally also sounds very good soundtrack and all the sounds of fighting.

Mortal Kombat X on Android and iOS and had the potential to take the lead in the ranking of the best fights of mobile. However, Warner Bros. proved to be too greedy, and instead focus on the fact that the game was like the best, and with it the opportunity to earn (“by the way” does not mean “less”!), it’s the first place on the list of priorities placed the monetization of the product. At any cost, by any means. Be careful, in this case, “free” is just insidious false lead!

Rating: 4 / 10

+ a lot of items to unlock

+ excellent audiovisual binding

– too simplistic, boring gameplay
