In addition to the tried-and-tested bone-breaking gameplay of combos and quick-strikes,\u00a0<em>Mortal Kombat 11\u00a0<\/em>introduces three new mechanics: Krushing Blow, Fatal Blow, and Flawless Block. Krushing Blow is a special cinematic version of a given move for a character, but only becomes available when certain conditions have been met; Fatal Blow is a high-damage move that&#8217;s a mini-Fatality of sorts which only becomes available when the user\u2019s health is below 30 percent; and the Flawless Block is a retaliation window that occurs when a player precisely times a block. It looks gorgeous too with some stylish gore and sound effects that add a whole new range of gasping (or cringing moments) to the blood-splattered brutality on show.<\/p>\n<p>Story-wise, <em>MK 11<\/em> goes down the time-travel route, forcing the series&#8217; most notable heroes back in time in order to stop evil versions of themselves<i>.\u00a0<\/i>There&#8217;s something hilarious and nostalgic about it all, and while the story actually does try and hit some high emotional beats, it doesn&#8217;t ever take itself too seriously, which is for the best.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve-wrapper\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-lQFZC6dzauM\" style=\"max-width:702px;\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n<div class=\"arve-embed-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.250000%\"><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/lQFZC6dzauM?iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;autoplay=0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" frameborder=\"0\" name sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/lQFZC6dzauM?iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autoplay=0\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While some fighting games tend to feel very same-y with each instalment, <em>Mortal Kombat 11<\/em> manages to evolve the veteran fighting franchise&#8217;s already-solid combat mechanics, while bringing an entertaining and sometimes zany story mode full of fan-fare moments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/search?search=mortal%20kombat%2011&amp;utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_Review_Mortal_Kombat_11_Review_PS4&amp;utm_content=Review_Mortal_Kombat_11_Review_PS4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png\" alt=\"view offers\" width=\"320\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png 550w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We review the latest iteration of Netherealm&#8217;s veteran fighter, Mortal Kombat 11, available on Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"amp_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3722,1821,1601,4532,4531,4533,4348,4534,4535,874,1614,2712,4536,843],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mortal-Kombat-11-review.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24304"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24304"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24308,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24304\/revisions\/24308"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
