Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original game was supposed to be created around Jean-Claude Van Damme in a Bloodsport (1988) sort of theme. The deal didn't go through, and Van Damme starred in the movie Street Fighter (1994) based on the games of the same name. Mortal Kombat's character Johnny Cage was an "homage" to JCVD and has been one of the main characters in the canon. Now years later, JCVD is voicing Johnny Cage in this game (which will also make a JCVD skin available for Johnny Cage), coming full circle in the end. In a further bit of irony, Johnny Cage's primary voice actor, Andrew Bowen, portrayed Jean Claude Van Damme in a MadTV parody entitled "One True Impact".
- GoofsIn Peacemaker's "Pest Control" Fatality, a butterfly comes out of the opponent's mouth, and Peacemaker accidentally kills the enemy trying to shoot it. However, in the show of origin, once a butterfly enters a host, the human is killed so the parasite can take control. The enemy should already be dead when the butterfly exits.

Review of Mortal Kombat (2023)
Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) has exceeded expectations for me and hopefully for many others, as it has a unique story, classic characters, and stunning graphics.
Story: The story is a six-hour journey through the newly developed world created by Fire God Lu Kang. Uniquely developed, the story introduces you to many characters that have been re-created to have newly formed relationships. The story seems to put a lot of effort into characters that are much more minor, and that haven't gotten the attention they deserve in prior games. The mid-credit scene leaves you on the edge of your seat with its amazing ability to make you keep wanting more.
Lag: Although stunning, the game seems to have an issue (mostly in online gameplay) of lagging to such a degree it is almost impossible to play. As this is a newly released game, I am sure that the creators will jump into action and fix this issue immediately.
Invasion: Although not the Krypt, it is still a very interesting and unique new take on separate modes of gameplay. Set up in an almost board like way, you go through many small battles that allow you to earn new gear, accessories, and patterns for the twenty three amazing characters within the game. For me, it is an amazing new experience that I am sure people will love.
Kameo's: A newly adapted way to add other characters that have less popularity, these characters are people you can summon into battle. I think this is very good, as it is allowing us to see characters that haven't been adapted in many years. It also allows for a new look on battles as a whole.
This new Mortal Kombat game has exceeded all expectations for me, and all though there is much needed corrections with lag, the game has an overall great gameplay and beautifully adapted characters and story's. This is a must needed game for every single Mortal Kombat lover.
