What players say

No, NeverRealm, I am never buying MK1. You took the worst Tower variant from MK11 and made a whole game out of it. Stop full screen spamming a game I own with advertisements for another product. Get the ad banners out of this game. This is why people don't buy your products: you don't ever respect existing customers and nag the crap out of us for purchases at every angle. You ever notice how other developers can...

I love fighting games. And this game I love the most. I was raised on fighting games mostly street fighter and was super bad at it, but I finally wanted to learn how to fight, I wanted to learn Kombat. So I started Mortal Kombat and for the first 14 hours of practicing and fighting I made amazing progress, I can tell I was a fast learner at this game, then I was locked away from the game I paid for with my own money...
