Mortal Kombat: Deception

 

It’s been a while since the latest version of Mortal Kombat, the last being Deadly Alliance, which was pretty darn good (good enough to become a Greatest Hits title for PS2). With the up-coming MK: Deception the new high-resolution pictures of the game are starting to get fighting fans up and rowdy. This game boasts some new features: tiered arenas (haven’t seen any since MK3), interactive backgrounds (being able to smash people through objects), hidden weapons, additional modes of play, and of course new fatalities and other cool things to unlock and find.

At this point, the character list hasn’t been released so we are left to guess which will be included, but I have seen pictures of Baraka, Mileena, Sub-Zero, and Bo Rai Cho so far. I guess the big question will be whether the return of Baraka will allow for the return of Liu Kang. Hmm…

 

Besides this great information release from Midway, they have also released some interesting in-game shots and a really neat promotional trailer that makes my mouth water at getting my evil hands on this game. Hehehehehe.

Game Description:

Delivering the most complete fighting game to date, along with the lethal intensity that the franchise has been known for since its 1992 debut in arcades, Mortal Kombat: Deception is set to revolutionize the fighting game genre.  With unlimited competition online plus multiple fatalities per character, multi-tiered interactive backgrounds and extensive new game modes, Mortal Kombat: Deception delivers, for the first time, an enhanced free-roaming Konquest mode, an action/strategy board game and a unique puzzle game that compliment the enhanced, one-on-one fighting mode.

 

Key Features:

New, multiple fatalities and interactive backgrounds.  With two fatalities per character, newly instituted death traps, stage fatalities and numerous interactive Kombat backgrounds, this game is looking to take the Mortal Kombat series to an all-new level of pain.

 

Online for both Xbox and PS2. For the first time ever, Mortal Kombat will be online…and in more ways than one!  Mortal Kombat: Deception will support online play for both PS2 and Xbox Live and will feature online matches and tournaments, as well as online gameplay capabilities for both the board game and puzzle modes.

New Konquest mode.  A completely redesigned single player Konquest mission will provide an entirely fresh and exciting gameplay experience by adding the likes of Direct Player Control, worlds populated by NPC (Non-Player-Controlled) characters, unique hidden features, a “real time” clock that represents the equivalent of a 24-hour day and a strong RPG gameplay element.

 

New board game mode.  In this all-new feature, players will be able to partake in a game of chess-like strategy, but with a fun (and, of course, bloody) Mortal Kombat twist.

 

New puzzle game mode. With ties to the likes of your favorite puzzle video games of past, each character in the Mortal Kombat: Deception puzzle mode will have a super-move they can trigger against their opponent. Over 10 MK characters will be represented and there is plenty to both challenge and laugh at in this mode.
