Mortal Kombat: Armageddon has a roster of 62 characters, including classic ones from the original Mortal Kombat, such as Reptile, Shang Tsung and Goro. The enhanced Konquest mode (story/adventure mode) improves over previous versions, but is shorter in length. There are now 64 arenas (including revamped versions of classic environments) which each have their own tweaks, such as stage fatalities.
In the game, you can design your own character and clothe them with familiar or new costumes using the Kreate-a-character mode. Fatalities are a way of killing your opponent, including techniques like "spine-rip" or "arm-break". Various button presses and combos at the end of a fight will sometimes trigger fatality mode and if the right buttons are pressed, the fatality can become a chain of fatalities.
The game also features "Motor Kombat," a racing mini-game patterned after Mario Kart. Players select a vehicle from ten characters: Sub-Zero, Bo' Rai Cho, Scorpion, Mileena, Kitana, Johnny Cage, Jax, Cyrax, Baraka, and Raiden. Each character performs their trademark move on rivals, with themed courses featuring hazards like lava pools, spikes, fire, and more. Motor Kombat supports four players in a split-screen view, or up to eight online.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was released on June 15th, 2007 for the Wii console, and is part of the action & adventure genre.
