A year has passed since Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath was released, and we have witnessed the addition of a number of new characters in the DLC, but Moratal Kombat 11: Aftermath is the first expansion of the story, as it adds more events and developments to the story plot. Its beginnings go back to the year 1992.
The new expansion will continue to narrate events from the end of the original, as we will see Liu Kang attempt to change the timeline after defeating Kronika. But Shang Tsung, Nightwolf and Fujin will appear to stop him under the pretext that it will cause the destruction of time, and in order to avoid this he must first find Kronika's crown, and indeed you will set out on a journey to the past in order to locate it.
The story itself is really satisfying as it is full of secrets and surprises, and the narrative side succeeded in convincing us, but the only comment we have in this regard is its short duration, so you can end it in one session, which makes asking the question whether it is really worth the $ 40 that You will pay it for it.
However, you will not pay that exorbitant sum for the story only, as the expansion will come alongside it with three new characters, Fujin, Sheeva and RoboCop, in addition to a number of costumes and equipment that will be added to all the previously existing elements in Mortal Kombat 11. It will also be accompanied by some new fighting styles and friendship moves to end the battle in a hilarious way. It will also come with more developments, and perhaps the most important ones are related to the towers, so that you will be able to customize both characters and fights to create the most suitable playing environment for you.
The combat system on the other hand did not know any modification, and the movement is still somewhat slow in this part compared to previous parts such as Mortal kombat X, but the additional characters were able to bring some renewal to the game, especially Sheeva, which you will find entertaining with all The movements it's been famous for since its debut in the MK3
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath has also not been without the bloody gameplay that we have become accustomed to from the series, and it can be said that it is now more brutal than ever in an exaggerated way. So that you will see the opponents' guts and limbs scattered around in a very realistic and uncomfortable way, but with capable ability they will get up and continue playing as if nothing had happened. This contradiction in realism pushed the players to split between supporters who see this bloody and utter brutality, even if temporary, is a good development of the game and will enable increased sales, and other opponents who believe that the essence of Mortal Kombat lies in its absurd and cartoonish brutality that they missed in this expansion. .
In the end, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is the perfect game for you if you are looking to try this part for the first time, as it lets you enjoy all the content in one package. But maybe the same will not apply to you if you already own an MK11, as all you get is to extend the story for a few hours, with a few characters and extra moves, and this is what prompts you to think twice before deciding to spend $ 40 in it.
