1/6/2024 0 Comments Mortal kombat 11 aftermathOverall, Aftermath just needs more, as it doesn’t offer much beyond the story content (which can be completed in two or three hours) and the trio of new fighters. That said, as much as I enjoyed playing with the newcomers, a mere three fighters does feel a bit paltry for a full expansion. Meanwhile, as you’d expect, RoboCop is all about controlling space and keeping opponents at bay with his gun and crowd-control cannon. Overall, Sheeva feels like a great option for beginner players. Sheeva is more of a brawler who specializes in tying up and pounding on victims, although her Dragon Drop special allows her to close the distance between herself and opponents in a snap. Fujin’s probably the best of the bunch, as his various wind-based attacks make him one of the most maneuverable and unique-feeling fighters in the game.

Production-wise, Aftermath’s cutscenes are every bit as impressive as the one’s in the main game, with every wry twitch of Shang Tsung’s eyebrows being perfectly captured. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who also played Tsung in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie, absolutely devours the scenery, keeping the story engaging even when the plot stumbles. Ultimately though, Aftermath belongs to Shang Tsung. Aftermath mainly exists to give MK11’s various DLC fighters a moment in the spotlight, and some, like Sindel and Nightwolf, do indeed get some opportunity to shine. Needless to say, some of Aftermath’s plot twists are very telegraphed (shockingly, Shang Tsung turns out to have ulterior motives) and the time-travel stuff makes less sense than ever, but the new story still serves up plenty of satisfying moments for fans of Mortal Kombat 11 and the franchise as a whole. From there, Aftermath takes notes from Back to the Future Part II, with players revisiting and altering certain events from Mortal Kombat 11’s original story as they hunt for the crown. Ah, but even though a new timeline can’t be created, travelling within the current one is still possible (don’t question it) and a very-obviously-shifty Shang Tsung has a plan to go back in time and steal Kronika’s Magical MacGuffin before it’s destroyed, which Liu Kang and the good guys decide to go along with in defiance of all good sense. Unfortunately, the happy ending doesn’t last long – as the new Aftermath new story kicks off, we learn Liu Kang can’t reboot the timeline without Kronika’s Crown, which was destroyed when she was defeated. It was a redemption story of sorts for many long-mistreated characters, particularly Liu Kang, who ended up replacing Raiden as the top deity in the MK universe in order to become the new master of time. Raiden’s plots had become too much for Kronika to tolerate, so she decided to reboot time and erase the thunder god in one fell swoop, leading to all sorts of shenanigans, as the current mostly-middle-aged MK cast came face-to-face with their younger counterparts and various factions vied for power.
