Mortal Kombat: Infinity

Mortal Kombat: Infinity is a fighting videogame. It is the eleventh installament of the Mortal Kombat game series.

It came out the 23 April of 2019 for Xbox One and Playstation 4 and the 25 April of 2019 for PC.

Mortal Kombat: Infinity could be also called "Definitive Mortal Kombat", since it features every character ever appeared in the series (except for the guest characters, such as Jason Vorhees or Kratos). It also features a lot of game modes, including many types of towers, minigames, as weel as many difficulties. The main story mode features fifteen chapters.

However, this game does not feature some game modes. For example, Test Your Luck and Test Your Might are absent. This is because the developers wanted to return game modes which were loved by fans, such as Konquest Mode, to the main game.

Plot
Mortal Kombat: Infinity takes places two years after Mortal Kombat X. After Shinnok's defeat, Raiden brought him to the Netherrealm, where he now suffers a terrible pain. Every realm should be safe and peaceful now, but nobody knew what was about to happen. Shinnok knew that he could have been defeated, so he revived the sorcers Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, and enslaved them. Their mission was to create a new Mortal Kombat tournament, and this time it would have been different. In fact, the realms would have fought for their Kamidogus. If Shang Tsung and Quan Chi would have received all of them by defeating the realm leaders, they could have revived the former Outworld king, Onaga, and Shang Tsung and Quan Chi would have transfered the power of the Kamidogus and Shinnok soul in his body, creating something even more stronger than all of the Elder Gods combined. This tournament gets created and all of the realms fight in order to save theirself. The Thunder God, Raiden, knows what would happen if the two sorcers complete their mission, and gets helped by the Elder Gods. With now more powers, Raiden protects Earthrealm and joins the White Lotus, along with Bo' Rai Cho, Shujinko, Liu Kang, Kung Lao and Kai to stop Shinnok's plan. But that won't be easy...

Gameplay
Mortal Kombat: Infinity gameplay is very similiar to the previous game gameplay, but still added brand new content to the gameplay. The graphics are still in 2.5D.

Single Player:

 * Story Mode: aviable in single player only,in Story Mode you can play the main events of the game. This mode is divided in chapters, in which you can play as a single character in every them. The game counts a total of twenty chapters. Besides from fighting, Story Mode has also got some points in every chapter where you can explore the place where the chapter takes place in a 3D free-roam, along side with side missions. These elements were took from Mortal Kombat: Deception and Armaggedon Konquest Modes.
 * Towers: Towers are the arcade mode of the game. There are different types of towers: Classic Tower, Rotating Tower, Infinity Tower and Online Tower.
 * Classic Tower: You'll have to fight against ten enemies, to then complete it and achieve the character you're using's ending. The tenth opponent is Onaga, the Dragon King, one of the game's bosses.
 * Rotating Tower: This Tower still features ten enemies. However, this time your opponent will be random as well as the difficulty you're playing for each opponent. The tenth opponent will be a random boss, between Onaga and Shinnok. The amount of koins you'll get by completing this Tower will be bigger than the other Towers. You won't achieve any endings.
 * Infinity Tower: Fight as many opponents as you can.
 * Online Tower: Fight against ten random users who are also playing this tower. There won't be any bosses, unless your opponent is playing as Onaga or Shinnok. You won't achieve any endings.
 * Krypt: The Krypt is a creepy cemetery where you can spend the koins you obtain by playing Mortal Kombat: Infinity. Here you can unlock Concept Art, Game Music, Outfits, Fatalities, Brutalities, Kombat Kard Items and much more. Due to time limits, the Krypt in this game wasn't as good as Mortal Kombat XL one.To see the whole list of the Krypt items that you can buy see: Mortal Kombat: Infinity Krypt
 * Kreate-A-Fighter: This game mode was first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, and many players liked it. It was so rentroduced, and as the mode name says, you can create your own character by giving him/her a name, change his/her skin color, hair, clothes... You can also write a biography and a Tower ending for your character. The elements to create your fighters have to be brought with koins, not at the Krypt but in the "Shop" section of the Kreate-A-Fighter Menu. A brand new thing to this system was that you can now create a fatality by combining many elements (ripping a head, shoot at your enemy...) togheter. You can also choose your fighting style. You can't play as your own fighter Online.
 * Classic Match: Play against an opponent who you can choose. It is also aviable Online.
 * Practice Mode: Learn moves, combos, strategies and much more in this practice mode with a configurable opponent's artificial intelligence.

Multiplayer:

 * PvP Match: Choose your fighter and fight against your friends.
 * Squad Mode: Fight as many opponents as possible, and when one player dies, the other can fight the opponents who killed him back. The players can get over whenever they want.
 * Practice Mode: Train with your friends.

Fighting System
Due to time limits, Mortal Kombat: Infinity couldn't afford the variations system which Mortal Kombat XL had, and which many players loved. Instead of these, the player can choose two Kombat Styles, usually one with bare hands and one with a weapon, which sometimes add new combos, moves and special attacks. However, X-Rays are still there, one per character. As for finishing moves, which are the moves which made the series famous, each character has two Fatalities, two Brutalities and one Hara-Kiri (one Fatatily and one Brutality have to be unlocked in the Krypt, while all Hara-Kiris are unlocked by default).This game also brings back interactive items in the arenas (tough not every arena has them) which were introduced in the previous game, but does not feature death traps from Mortal Kombat: Deception and Armaggedon.

Kombat Kard
Another feature which Mortal Kombat: Infinity brings back from the previous game is the Kombat Kard, a badge which the player can customize with icons, decorations and wallpapers. Each element in the Kombat Kard has a bonus, such as obtaining more koins when winning a match. There are hundreds of Kombat Kard elements, which can be brought in the Krypt or unlocked by completing specific tasks, such as performing ten special moves in one match.

Factions
Factions from Mortal Kombat XL are back. This time, you can choose between only six, but way larger, factions: Those are not really factions, however, since in the game plot you're fighting to save your realm, you can choose which one of them is the one you support. The faction system is identical to Mortal Kombat XL one.
 * Earthrealm
 * Outworld
 * Netherrealm
 * Edenia
 * Chaosrealm
 * Orderrealm

Characters
Mortal Kombat Infinity has a roster of nintyeight characters. Seventyfour characters are unlocked by the default, while two have to be unlocked by completing Story Mode. Seven characters are playable trough DLC purchase, and fourteen are Kreate-A-Fighter characters slot. One slot is the random select. The roster is well-organized (in the first line you can find the ninjas, in the second one gods and female ninjas, etc.). Also, this game doesn't feature any new characters, however, some characters who appeared in previous games but they weren't ever playable, such as Hydro and Tasia, are playable. The only exception that the game makes is Triborg, which wasn't featured since he's a mix of already playable characters, Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke.
