Mortal Kombat X

The gameplay stays close to the visual style and mechanics of the 2011 reboot. The main controls are based on two types of punches and kicks, and blocking, to form combos with uppercuts, teleports, special moves that incorporate weapons and fatalities. The energy system returns, making available X-Ray moves, powered up EX moves and combo breakers.

The game features a large cast of characters, including some new additions such as Cassie Cage, D'Vorah, and Kotal Kahn. There are also several additional playable characters available through DLC or as guest characters. The game modes include the main Story mode, King of the Hill, ranked matches, Survivor, Test Your Luck, and the Towers as challenges.

Online gameplay features a persistent game mode called Faction Wars where players choose one of five factions to fight in constant, cross-platform competitions to become the ruling faction. Competing in the Faction Wars is rewarded with a personal and faction-based leveling system, a currency, and the aforementioned faction kills.

The game also has Krypt mode, which allows players to acquire secondary fatalities, brutalities, concept art, character skins and more by buying Koins.
