Deciding on a fighting game today is not an easy task. With so many fantastic titles, it’s hard to decide what your next big investment will be. mortal kombat 1 offers a wide range of content reminiscent of old series like Mortal Kombat Deception and Deadly Alliance. You can jump into the series’ core modes, such as Versus, Training and Tutorials, Classic Towers, or Kampaign, where you’ll witness a momentous new story.
But if you want something new, you’ll love learning more about the Invasion mode, which expands the defense plots of the story universe with an RPG twist.
Mortal Kombat 1 is all about protecting your timeline, and in Invasion, you’re tasked with doing just that. Using your favorite characters and Kameos, you are tasked with protecting yourself from invaders ranging from an evil Scorpion variant to a crazy Ninja Mime.
All of this occurs on board game-like world maps set in various locations, beginning in Johnny Cage’s proclaimed “haunted” mansion. Going through maps like this, you will face various battles where you will earn experience points, equippable items, in-game currency, and key items that will help you progress.
Incentives that make Invasion mode a must-watch include unlockable customizable cosmetics for your characters, behind-the-scenes content, and more Kameo fighters. Be sure to spend a little time exploring here.
If you’re a Mortal Kombat fan, this might sound similar to Towers or Krypt, and that’s because it’s like an evolution of those classic modes combined into one. As with Towers, your enemy encounters are divided into mini-games like Test Your Might. In fact, some areas will surprise you with their own Towers to conquer, allowing you to earn tons of experience points and in-game currency. Invasion mode also offers some satisfying fan service in the form of encounters against Shang Tsung and Quan Chi’s Deadly Alliance, an invading Scorpion that resembles the classic version of the character, elemental amulets similar to Raiden’s, and even a Kollector lurking that you can buy. articles of. Inclusions like this make Invasion feel like a comprehensive celebration of the series.
Anyone can enjoy Invasion, but longtime fans of fighting games, especially of the Mortal Kombat variety, will likely find a second home here. While the main incentive is to get unlockable items to customize your favorite fighters, there is a lot to enjoy here.
Equipping the cast with customizable attack items and experimenting with their stats is a fun side project. Having to conquer a path of enemies with random elements like rain of fireballs and booby-trapped stages adds an element of comedy and surprise to the experience. One example that made me laugh was a random saw blade taking me by surprise mid-fight.
Beginners will also find Invasion mode a great teacher. Tutorial matches teach you how to block correctly, punish specific moves, and other combat basics. There’s even a feature where enemies will perform slower punishable moves, so you’ll learn to constantly interrupt them and take advantage of the battle.
If you plan on taking the fight to other timelines with Invasion Mode, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. Make sure you take all possible paths. You will want to find keys to continue progressing in certain areas. You will also want to take down any towers you come across. Towers are an easy way to take on multiple enemies to rack up even more money and experience points. And finally, use Invasion as an opportunity to try something other than your main fighter and Kameo. If you only stick with one, you will miss out on learning a new character with these new features. There is a lot to experiment with in this mode.
Invasion is a mode that takes the biggest single-player hits of Mortal Kombat history, and feels like a museum of content for longtime fans of the series. And even for newcomers, it’s a great single player mode to spend your time learning more about Mortal Kombat history and competitive play. Join the fight against the invaders when mortal kombat 1 launches on September 19 for PlayStation 5.
