This lack of realism is certainly an area the team should focus on for improvement in the inevitable MK11. Scorpion's fireball looks like a garden firework when compared to Jago's from Killer Instinct for example. Certain special effects are laughably cartoony and present themselves at total odds with the gritty realism enjoyed by MKX's character designs and stages. Projectile attacks are flat and uninspiring - a far cry from Killer Instinct's detailed particle physics. As someone who no longer feels the need to rebel against his parents, it all feels a bit unnecessary, but if you like gorenography it really doesn't get better than this.ĭespite all the detail the NetherRealm Studios has poured into MKX's presentation, certain aspects fall short. NetherRealms saw fit to give every fragment of shattered rib a cross section of bone marrow, every torn tendon snaps with anatomical authenticity. The victims of these attacks get right on up afterward, even if a blade has travelled through their skulls. MKX follows from MK9, offering us intrusive x-ray specials that show kombatant's gruesomely detailed giblets being splattered real-time. Mortal Kombat's approach to gore is comedic and completely beyond the realms of reality, enabling it to pass under the radar of even the most moralist media outlets.
