It all comes together in a very deep fighter that feels different enough from Mortal Kombat that I think people that abandoned the series will want to give it a look.
This change to the Kombat definitely gives Mortal Kombat a fresh feeling that it hasn't had in a while. And fear not, special moves are still included as separate moves capable of being by any moveset. Unlike previous Mortal Kombat's where memorization of the special moves would get you far, for success this time you'll have to learn all of a character's different fighting styles. Each character has two fighting stances and a weapon style. I guess that's to make it more "realistic." The other major change to the Kombat system is the use of different fighting stances. You can still perform these basic Kombat moves, but they have been phased out almost entirely, and it actually slows the action down considerably from MK4. Jumping and ducking have been greatly de-emphasized. This jump to full 3D has also had an effect on the Kombat. No more of the quasi-3D tricks that MK4 employed. Midway went back to the drawing board and came up with Mortal Kombat's first fully 3D engine ever. So the first thing you'll notice about Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is the completely rebuilt fighting engine. Midway knew that to get every gamer talking about Mortal Kombat again they would have to make some serious changes. OK, maybe "mythos" is a strong word to describe the storyline of the Mortal Kombat series, but the stage is set for yet another tournament, and I'm all for it. Second, Liu Kang, earth's greatest champion is murdered by the two sorcerers, not in Mortal Kombat, but in an ambush. First they kill the Emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn. But before they can do that, they must take care of two beings that can stand in their way. This will allow them to raise the army of the dreaded Dragon King and rule all the realms of the universe. After being defeaed time and again, the sorcerers Quan Chi and Shang Tsung have decided to join forces in a Deadly Alliance. What does all of this mean? Well, that I had high hopes for Deadly Alliance and it did not disappoint.ĭeadly Alliance begins by adding yet another layer to the Mortal Kombat mythos. And personally, I think Trilogy is one of the best 2D fighters ever. Mortal Kombat fanatics, such as myself, believe these games are as good as they get. Four's attempt at bringing the series into 3D was scoffed at with a resounding "that's not real 3D." Fans of course ate these games up. Most people wrote off part 3 as a disappointment and Trilogy was brushed aside as more of the same (even though it was one of the only four Nintendo 64 games available for a long time). According to the video game world the Mortal Kombat series has been in a slump these last several years.
