The story revolves around an alliance between two evil forces - Shang Tsung and Quan Chi - aimed at conquering Earthrealm.
The gameplay is centered around one-on-one fights against other characters, with a focus on strategy and timing. Players control their chosen fighters, using a combination of punches and kicks to take down opponents. The addition of special weapon moves for each character adds depth to the combat system, while Fatalities provide an intense finishing move option.
