Mortal Kombat Reviews

DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS FAULTY GAME SCAM! Constant crashing of this game made me lose ALL of my progress! I’ve been playing this game since it first came out YEARS AGO in my spare time without issues until a couple days ago. Every time I would attempt to play the game, it would make it to the animated opening scene/trailer of MortalKombat and crash trying to load the daily log in page. Unable to do anything, I was forced to delete and then reinstall MortalKombat , and by doing this it completely erased my entire history of MortalKombat with ZERO way to restore it! Why can’t I restore it and resume my gameplay? Because I didn’t make an asinine WB account to have my progress sync to it - which I might add, was NEVER even recommended or mentioned as something to do in MortalKombat at any time! It’s despicable that I have essentially been scammed by this company for a couple hundred bucks on their micro transactions with no way to restore any of it! I couldn’t even log in to MortalKombat to get the necessary info to create a WB account even if I wanted to because of the constant crashing which is the only reason I’m compelled to write this review! I even checked forums online and countless people experienced the same issues as me! IT’S A COMMON ISSUE THEY ARE AWARE OF AND HAVE NEVER ADDRESSED! Never again will I support this shady business after their inability to fix their crashing game and because of their complete failure to protect their customers!

You dropped the ball on this one. Making current gold tier characters into diamond has forced us into spending more to upgrade the characters, that’s a dirty move. Only allowing three character cards to be purchased from the store is obnoxious. So many challenges require a specific character, you were able to purchase directly from the store if need be. That helped out tremendously when you really needed it, including the discount on said character sometimes. Overall MortalKombat is now really slow, the animations are clunky and it just froze on me, hence why I’m writing this review. You should have left the characters alone and just added new ones like one of the top reviews have said (that a “dev” even commented on). Instead you arbitrarily raised how many diamond characters there are by forcing the “upgrade”. It’s really a shame that the overall conscious for the company is how to pinch ever dollar out of the people who have played the game for years and scare away any new players you may have gotten. I hope someone reads this and steps away from downloading it, it really used to be a fun game that I sank way more hours into than I care to admit. Devs, I’m sorry, I know you guys work hard on all of this but you really missed the mark. Unfortunately I know there is no turning back. Unfortunately this is my stop on this crazy train of a MK. Hopefully you can fix it.

First off, there are some serious bugs affecting the save data of the game. After exiting the game, any progress made in challenges is erased. This is the case for both Baraka and Jade. The frame rate is also a bit unstable, so if something could be done about that, it’d be appreciated. Though I understand it may be a hardware issue that can’t be helped by the developer. I will not be able to play the game until the save data bug is fixed. It prevents me from finishing challenges, and I’ve enjoyed this game in the past, and would hate to walk away from it like this.

Second, the new store layout is disappointing. Although I’ve generally purchased card packs with koins and souls, it’s a bit concerning finding that selection of individual characters is very limited, and that small selection is reset after a certain period of time. This isn’t fair if we have a new challenge that requires a specific character, like the Triborg challenges did. In addition to this, it has affected some characters. Cutthroat Kano, for instance, no longer has a special ability. He used to cost less than most gold characters, but now costs the same as others.

I look forward to a bug fix update as soon as possible. NetherRealm rarely lets me down as a customer, so I’m willing to let this incident slide for now. Thank you.

First off this game can be fun. There is a lot to do. The graphics are nice. And well it’s Mortal kombat. However I’m a little surprised by the technical team and the inability to fix issues. You thing for such a big name they would be top notch. There is a lot of crashing going on not to mention the cheaters. Which neither they seem to be able to fix. They tell you to use a WBID to log in and save your progress. I lost my account after about the first year and there was nothing they could do. I started playing again and spent years and money into it and one day it crashes I reopen MortalKombat and poof gone. Contacted support and there is nothing they could do. I lost a full roster, characters I paid for, my equipment, 3,000+ souls, 9 mil+ coins, everything.... They offer to replace the ones I paid for but everything I earned they could not. After fussing they offer me three other characters maxed out. Little this would do with everything else gone. Funny they could not replace this when hackers seem to have no problem at getting this stuff. Maybe they should hire a few of them. The crashing is bad and people post all the time that they lose their accounts due to this. So play have a good time while it last. Everything good does come to an end. Just keep in mind that you could lose everything at any point. But I do strongly advise against putting you own money into it.

Love the Mortal Kombat franchise as I’ve played from the very beginning (quite literally) and when the mobile version came out I was one of those people that was all excited about it.
But after this most recent update of the game I just can’t give it anything higher than a 3 star rating especially since you can no longer play off-line besides the fact that with doing the current Jade towers I have repeated the exact same tower (50 soul reward tower) for over a week and when I do finally get to advance past it I only get the first 3 matches and than it freezes than I wind up repeating the same BS. By the time MK11 actually hits the shelves this challenge will be over and I will NOT be able to get Jade from the challenge.
If they actually fix this version of the mobile game I may consider changing the star rating but I won’t hold my breathe as I may turn BLUE from doing so.

This aspect of review is to address some complaint from some people stating that the game never said or suggested to create an account is a load crap as they have suggested it for about a year or so plus if playing with an apple product “game-center” should be able to help with back up and restoration if not complain to those morons who were so kind (NOT) to remove it from the home screen.

Been playing did 3 years and built a very strong set of characters that are almost all maxed out except for some Diamond characters that are difficult to get. The graphics and features of the game are fun. The drawbacks I am annoyed with is the fact that souls are so difficult to get but coins are easy. I have over 30M coins that I can’t buy much with since I maxed out all the characters that can be bought. It would be good to be able to use my coins to trade for souls, which has more value. The other drawback is when you max your gold characters, the challenges that are put out monthly become useless. Unless to just want coins and souls, but there’s no motive as there’s no new character to try to gain or max out further. The challenges should include Diamond characters that are difficult to get. The last and most annoying drawback are the towers. The last year they’ve gotten so difficult that I can’t even pass level 160 out of 200...and now it’s gotten worse that I can’t pass level 120 out of 200. I have very strong maxed out Diamond characters with equipment cards that still can’t beat these towers. So I just give up and don’t bother. Totally not fun when the tower characters regenerate life so easily that it’s just a painful never ending round. I use to love this game, but starting to feel all the towers and challenges are a waste of time and life. Prefer other games that makes you have a challenge that is fair and still enjoyable.

I love the game but after the recent update fraction wars got more challenging but at the same time unfair. For example you would be playing with 5k attack and health team and while playing you would get a card to fight with 17k attack. Now 2 things can happen 1. The player can spam attacks constantly 2.you die after the first attack. In my opinion I would put a 5k team against a 15k card at max. Another problem is the card packs. The problem is that sometimes people like you tubers or people willing to spend money on the game would spend a lot of money for soul coins for the packs and they would get 1-2 diamond cards out of 50 card packs opened. Especially the new MK11 card pack, in that card pack your chances of getting an jade, raider, or scorpion would be more than rare than what the pack says. What i would do is add at least random diamond cards or good gold cards to the pack so If u don’t get the card u want u have a chance for getting something better or something on the same level as the card. One last problem is the card system. I would rather the old card system because its more easy to fuse of max out am card. And also for new players they can look at the roster to see what cards is better than others and see what cards to buy. Hopefully in the next update these things will change and keep improving Mortal Kombat

I kinda wanted to respond to a comment a read that said you run in to a wall after 3-5 days of playing and how you have to pay to win. I completely disagree. Although I do agree that they people who are good usually just spend hundreds of dollars. HOWEVER, I’ve been playing this game since it’s release who knows how long ago. And there’s always some type of goal (for me at least) to reach. The game is definitely repetitive but what fighting game isn’t. I like the challenges and I love the grind of leveling up characters. And as for having to pay for characters. I completely disagree with sending money. I have never spent a dime on this game since it’s release and that’s something that I’m proud of. I don’t like these micro transactions, I believe in grinding for the reward. You can beat people without spending money. It’s. It hard building a solid team without spending a dime. Lastly I wanna say the reason this game isn’t a a four star is because the pleasure of cheating playing on this game. And how Netherealm just doesn’t seam like they do anything about. Not a session goes by where I don’t come across at least one cheater with you know what type of name. They need to integrate an In game report feature. Instead of going through WB forums.

This is one of the best games I ever played! The problem is that once you finish the battle mode, there is really nothing to do except do challenges(for mkx characters), shao kahn’s tower(which is kind of boring since you only have 3 entrees a day), quest mode, and faction wars(which has some hackers). Also what I would recommend is to add a story mode! It would be way better and more fun! The battle mode is pretty cool because of its fatalities, but its only once in a while once you reach a certain tower..and I was dissatisfied at the end when there was no story to finish it and they only give you a lil bit of coins and souls..another suggestion I have in mind is to add more characters! I know theres a new update right now with Bo Rai Cho, Hanzo Hasashi, and the shokan warrior, but I think you should add characters like Noob Saibot, Fujin, predator, alien, etc. I would be more obsessed with this game if they added characters like them! My last and final suggestion is to make us do fatalities..we can only do fatalities on certain towers in battle mode and some of them are lame..you guys should let us do fatalities on our own. This is why I give this game a 4*..hope you guys like my suggestions and thank you for your time on reading this..Have a good day :)

So I have been playing MK over a year and then all all of he sudden, I stopped playing for about two months! Also because I haven’t been playing on the IPad for awhile and I just didn’t want to play it. When I went on it said I needed the new update so I did. Once the update happen, I saw that it was super cool, but you guys made it more confusing than it was. Yes, I know you guys are trying to make the characters are real as possible, but it just makes the background kombat area looks like a 2D Print. I also don’t like how that we have to wait for the next characters to appear to buy them, I do like the gold to diamond, but I wish they would also like have more attack and health and etc. The bug thing is that you for the challenges, “Gold Characters Only” I was able to put my diamond characters in. Some suggestions I have for you guys is make it that the soul prices are lower for the character now, because they are more expensive than trying to get Shoa Kahn and also make it that we can also buy any of the characters at any time. There are other minor things that I don’t like the change, but I won’t really care for those. As you devs. will, please discuss this in with your other people. Thank you.

The problem that I find with these products were that the character they offered on this package is the one you don’t get. They said that they offered a chance to get it but them it’s like winning a lottery you never get it. As you see this packages are very pricey and if you want to build your characters you need to buy them. They have this system that you need “Souls” to buy for example Diamond or gold packages and if you want to get souls went you level up you need to buy the packages corresponding to the next levels for example levels 10-20. Well that’s good but went you spend those souls to buy the characters they offered you’ll never get them. It is like fraud!! You’ll end with no more souls and to get enough you’ll need to have these levels packages. Also the character and different tools have a system that goes from 1 to 10, in Roman numbers, so you buy the packages that offer that specific character to try to build it up but again you never get it. I have spent $2000 and still haven’t get anything the promised.

Are you ever going to realize that the face of Nightmare Freddy Kruger doesn’t match his card. I’m an original player and it’s kind of annoying that you never catch things like this. I still play religiously, but seriously come on. With all the updates and it’s never fixed. I agree with Awesomeaxl3. The silver and bronze characters are lacking. I mean all of the characters aren’t even represented as silver cards. For example, Kung Lao, liu kang, quan chi, bo rai cho, sector, Cyrax, smoke, and good grief even raiden, mileena, baraka, erron black, takeda, Jade. You don’t even have to come up with a name as it is their base card. As far as the store goes, you should come out with new characters to just buy for souls. Otherwise the game is very repetitive. Where’s noob saibot? Let’s not even get started with bronze cards or even a bronze/silver challenge. The only character represented at bronze is Ninja Mime Johnny Cage which means you’ve thought about it. Why not just make up some cool ideas to get the bronze cards more applicable for challenges or Shaolin Master Kung Lao? Not to forget; your relic hunt percentages are off. I unlock 1 it’s 1%. I just unlocked 15 and it was 10%. It’s always screwing you over when it comes to this logic.

Im playing this amazing game for more than 18 months now and I really enjoy it🥰 thanks for everything that you did in order to improve the game experience including adding new characters and fatalities and brutality etc.😍 well, tonight I encountered a really weird and serious bug in faction wars, I was playing as the dark fate Terminator and my opponent was Klassic Ermac. Somewhere in the middle my terminator took enough damage to die for the first time and it was going through the resurrection animation to become the skeleton version, but the problem is this, the last bit of damage was because of Ermac explosion (Just before he dies), I had done enough damage to kill him first, and then i was killed because of the explosion, Now the worst part which is related to the bug I mentioned earlier, after the animation for the terminator was finished, Ermac was still alive! and he had become invincible!! I couldn’t do any damage to him no matter what! My special attacks were disabled altogether! The terminator died because the other player was still playing, and after that my other two characters were killed as well 😐 I know this is an extremely rare situation😅 but I would really appreciate it if you fix this for next version please 🙏🏻 wish you all the best 🌹you always remain five star ⭐️ 😉

This game is AMAZING, i remember when it first came out, and i was pumped into playing. My first gold character is Raiden... The only time i spent money on the game was getting Scorpion pack and Sub-Zero pack from then on i work with my characters leveling them up to compete throughout other challenges fir more characters. Ive never stop playing and never will. Now my down issue is the game lags, glitches, and the music doesn't play regularly. So Warner Bros, I'm asking, is there going to be an update to fix the issue??? I REALLY wanna continue playing without the lags and to hear the sound music while I'm fighting in the game. Other than those flaws im never gonna stop playing, ive worked hard to get every character i can maxed out by level and by their tier level. Mortal Kombat is my first game to ever play from the creators before new ones came out like Injustice and WWE Immortals. Ill never stop playing Mortal Kombat, but please, please fix the issue of the game, Warner Bros or Netherrealm, who ever of ya created the game for IOS please fix the issue, i dont like lagging, and glitches, and the no background sound, please?? Thank you for letting me play since the first day this game was made 😁😁😁

So I really love the game and i have recently just got back into playing since mk 11 will be released soon but I have a few issues I must address first off my runes have been reset completely I had 200,000,000 and now for some reason I have 1,000 and don’t know what occurred especially due to the fact that I have been playing mk mobile since the release of mkx
And another issue I was completing the challenges to unlock mk11 raiden and it stated it had 5 more days till it was cycled out of the shop as I return today getting ready to complete the last challenge to have him unlocked I come to the realization that he’s already been cycled out which came as a complete shock to me I understand that it’s just a game but i love collecting these different variations of characters and especially since it was a mk11 based card I’m highly disappointed and i wanted to address these issues and see what i can do if I can’t do anything about the mk11 raiden card I would at least like to address the issue of my runes due to the fact that i was pretty much robbed of every single rune I had I would gladly accept any responses from your end thank you for creating such an amazing game.

I love playing this game and I’m pretty good at it. I have been playing for a while too. I have some suggestions too. I think you should be able to donate to your allies. I think you should be able to search your friends usernames and have them as your allies too. I think there should be way more packs you can buy with coins. I think there should be more challenges at once. Like the weekly challenges, there should be more than one at a time. And the rubies from faction wars should be easier to get, or the cards you get should be cheaper. Also when you unlock a card, you should be able to purchase it from the shop with either souls or koins, it’s hard to evolve the characters when you have to purchase a pack every time and hope you get the same card. And I know diamond characters are a pretty recently added thing, but I think there should still be more of them. Also when packs come into the shop, like the twenty dollar card pack, you should be able to purchase them with the gold you have, 1,500,000 gold is $100 so if you pay 1,500,000 you should be able to get the card 5 times. Thank you if you actually read this!! And over all this is my favorite game!

I’ve been playing this game for a very long time and it’s my favorite mobile game to play but there are a few things wrong with the new update. The first thing that a lot of people including me want back is the old shop. The new one isn’t terrible but it’s not as good as the old one. Also I think that the chances for the rare characters in the Blood Ruby packs should be raised by at least 2% because I’ve been getting those every time a season ends and I haven’t gotten a single rare character out of them. Another thing is the cost for the characters in the Faction Wars store, they are very expensive and Klassic Ermac and Klassic Sub-Zero definitely need to be lowered by at least 250 Blood Rubies. They just aren’t worth it. You could either buff them or lower their prices, please do one or the other. I read another review also and totally agree that at the end of the 100 battles in Shao Khans tower you should get like an elite pack or some souls or something. Please bring back elite pack too. Well that’s all I have to say and if the dev’s are reading this keep up the great work! This game is really good and you guys are awesome! :)

Edit: Also forgot to say, please add a new diamond character and make it Noob Saiboat please! Bye :)

Don’t get me wrong. It’s a beautiful game, visually. But u can play for 2-3 days before you hit a wall (I’m up to level 25 in just 3 days). I know the goal for the creators are to make money, but give us more than a couple days of playing before we are just stuck. Doesn’t matter how hard you grind either. I’ve been grinding nonstop just to see how far you can get without spending money. You will be stuck on a tower with no hope of passing it without paying real money for characters. And unless you do the quick match online, you will always face players you can’t beat (after the first few days, first few days are fair matchups). And don’t get your hopes up trying to beat the special levels they have (complete ALL of them and get a good player), because you have to have characters you pay for to even do half of the battles. And not just 1 or 2. But multiple teams of characters that you have to pay for. If u just need a filler for a weekend, play this game. Just for the visuals and because it’s Mortal Kombat. Just don’t get your hopes up. Honestly this should just be a 10$ game and they let you unlock characters easier during play. 20$ per player is insane. And that’s not even an evolved version of the card. Just the base card.

I’m a player who has played this game for well over a year and a half and I’ve been playing this game non-stop. I love the challenges, the graphics got even better with the update and I love it. Overall, the update is great but I would like to change some stuff. 1. I have an IPhone X and when I play the game, there are bezels and I’m not a huge fan of those. They really irritate me and I would like it if you guys can fix this issue. Maybe something happen or you guys are too busy and I don’t wanna sound too hateful but if you guys have the opportunity to fix it, I would love that 2. With the new update, there has been some issue that when I play the new challenge tower (for Baraka) It would lag out and restart the game. I don’t mind doing it but it bugs me and I hope you fix that soon as well. 3. I really liked how you change the shop but I like the old one better and if you guys won’t change it, I’ll just deal with the new one and hope I get use to it soon. Overall, the new music, new looks, I love them and I hope you keep updating this game because I love playing it and I don’t have any plans on quitting it either 😁 (I play this game so much, it kinda make my girlfriend jealous and it’s honestly funny and I just tease her with it 😂😂)

I’ve always loved Mortal Kombat ever since it was released during my childhood. This game has an impressive variety of characters, moves, and skins. With a different modes and challenges, there’s always something to work towards. Additionally, I love that they add new characters and level up old ones to new tiers. They are pretty good about listening to their gaming community when it comes to suggestions and requests. And I personally have found the game to be decently generous. I often get diamond characters from the card packs and every once in a while if there’s a problem where the makers have to do maintenance on MortalKombat , they reimburse us for the inconvenience with a decent quantity of currency. I have found it to be an outright fun game with a lot to look forward to as you level up.

Slight downside, it can become a money pit down the road. It’s a gamble when you have many characters maxed out to buy a pack of random characters. You might spend $10 and only get cards you’ve already maxed out. That tends to be a complete waste.

It would be great for the packs that you spend actual money on if there was someway for them to filter out cards you’ve already maxed out. Or let you flip cards until you get something usable.

If you are just starting out, the game is great. Once you get to higher levels and start maxing our characters, it becomes a money pit. I have 9 out of 39 challenge characters maxed. Whenever I buy an Elite Pack, which supposedly has a 7% chance for a diamond character and a 93% chance for a challenge character, I seem to get ONLY the 9 characters I’ve already maxed (even though in theory all the challenge characters should have the same drop rate). In 20 packs I’ve gotten 0 diamonds and only 6 characters that weren’t already maxed out. Each pack costs 360 souls. That means I have essentially wasted around 5000 souls in exchange for literally nothing. That’s when I started to get suspicious that not every card was available in the pack, or that the drop rates were structured to increase once you get a character maxed out.

I contacted WB games about this, and thus began a 4 day long email thread in which they would email me back approximately once a day. The first 3 days they literally ignored my question, giving me info that didn’t have to do with what I asked. Finally, when it became clear I wasn’t going to drop the subject, they said “we don’t have that information. Ask other players on the community forums!”

In summary, the game is fun, but the transactions are BS and the developers will outright refuse to help you if you ask them a question. I’d give them 5 stars if it weren’t for those issues.
