I don't know what upsets me more. The game or the phrasing "rpg game".

lol it should be RP game.

and boo. mobile lol.

hard pass

 

[Saber]

I think thats a perfect end for what is a moronic franchise nowadays.

I hope it has all the usual mobile garbage stuff, like purple crystals and gems.

When I think of Mortal Kombat, I think of

GACHA!

 

[Fbh]

TEST YOUR LUCK......with our various loot boxes and Gatcha mechanics!!!

 

[anthony2690]

I'm so disappointed, I hope to god this mk12 or whatever the hell they are working on is revealed soon.

I would even buy a hd remake of Shaolin monks tbh.

 

[ahtlas7]

It’s a disease!

 

[GymWolf]

if they don't have a finisher called MOBILITY! the devs wasted their lives and my time.

 

[Stitch]

I'm not even against mobile gaming if it's a pay once kinda game like (most) kairosoft (game dev story) games.

But this is a Warner mobile game. It's going to be awful pay to play trash.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This is both awful and absolutely hilarious, lmao.

WB puts all these resources into Mobile garbage but refuses to allow NRS to make a Kombat Kollection of the original 3 arcade games for modern systems that people have been screaming for....baffling to say the least.

 

[Skifi28]

I think I do have a phone somewhere, but I can't be arsed to look for it.

I tried Injustice and MK mobile. Dave & Buster’s has the Injustice arcade machine, which is essentially the mobile game on a big screen with 1 or 2 buttons. I like it until I miss the big game. Mobile can feel like an inferior experience. iOS use to have a version of MK3, but I think it was 32-bit and it got phased out. NRS said they have a few pans in the oven. Can’t rule anything out.

Didn't they already do a collection of the original 3 games on Xbox 360/ps3? Not going to lie, I have no interest in them, I'd maybe play ultimate mortal Kombat 3.

But 1 and 2 are doodoo now days.

& I'd much rather a new game tbh.

They did but it was a buggy mess and they never bothered to fix the issues. Longtime fans deserve a true, proper collection.

 

[Klart]

I hope it crashes and burns.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

It's a roleplaying rpg.

Lets Go Pikachu! Mortal Kombat Onslaught

 

[MAtgS]

There's your 30th BDay game, GAF.

 

[Nickolaidas]

This is probably a mobile game which will be connected to the next mainline MK entry.

Don't get discouraged, folks. We're eating good next year, fatality wise.

 

[ShadowLag]

I know a real MK game is coming later, but

I'd rather be stuck in hell with Mortal Kombat Mythologies as my only comfort than playing this shit.

I still get emails about their stupid injustice mobile game

But like... Why? Who is your audience? I don't think your average Mortal Kombat enjoyer is the same kind of person that wants to play a mobile... collectathon ... RPG? wat? This reeks of a game like Marvel Strike Force or any other energy driven gacha designed to drain your wallet.

Fake edit: “With Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, we reimagined Mortal Kombat into a strategic team-based collection RPG with fast-paced, group melee combat that both new and existing fans can enjoy.”

Yep. So it's just MSF with a MK coat of paint. Fucking lame. This is why people don't like mobile games. Maybe push the medium for a change.

Uh here's an idea. What about a regular MK mobile game instead? Make it free to play with limited character selection and sell character packs for like a buck a character. Or you could sell costumes and fatalities/babalities/friendships. You can always add more later to fill out the roster and keep things engaging, the customer doesn't have to spend a bunch to get in the door and can even choose how much they spend. I don't think anyone would ever say that touch screen controls are a great avenue for a fighting game, but with enough shortcuts you can make something work. Why not just go whole ass crazy and make it cross platform.

Idk. does that make too much sense?

They’ve made multiple mobile fighting games and they all stink. They use some weird swipe based system.

I remember playing this for a while to get some MKX skin or something. Apparently it’s still going.
