NetherRealm went the extra mile by making Alien’s tail a fifth limb. It’s Alien, however, that is the most impressive addition to the roster. Leatherface is perhaps the bloodiest fighter yet, causing a massive amount of blood loss with his iconic chainsaw and mallet. He can even humiliate them further by mimicking their voices while he laughs. Predator’s vast array of barbaric weaponry helps him easily slice and dice his opponents in an iconic fashion. Jason Voorhees swings his deadly machete, shrugs off damage and can even restore his health in small doses. These four characters and their different variations are faithfully reconstructed from their source material. With a strong emphasis on horror characters, NetherRealm Studios capably transitions four icons from the silver screen to the fighting game genre. Kombat Pack 1 also game with the added distinction that each character came with a themed skin pack. Kombat Pack 2 added another four: Alien, Bo’ Rai Cho and Triborg. Kombat Pack 1 launched last year and added four characters: Jason Voorhees, Tanya, Predator and Tremor. Players can also purchase the characters a-la-carte for $5 each.
Those who did buy Kombat Pack 1 can get Kombat Pack 2 for $20. Those who own the main game, but didn’t purchase either Kombat Pack, can get the Kombat Pack XL for $25. Those who smartly waited for the inevitable “Game of the Year Edition” can purchase Mortal Kombat XL for $60 and get both Kombat Pack 1 and 2 in addition to the full game. and NetherRealm Studios are giving players a few options to get their hands on the new content. A few new story chapters or new towers would have really sweetened the deal. The core game is still fantastic, but a year has passed since launch. This is the same Mortal Kombat X that released last year, just with new fighters and skins added in. There are no new story expansions, no new Towers, and no new Krypt items to unlock. All the base content is still there, alongside the additional Kombat Packs. Mortal Kombat XL is essentially the same game as Mortal Kombat X.
Is there enough content here to keep fans invested in the year old game, or are these packs preying on the wallet?
The grand bulk of this new content comes from Kombat Pack 1 and Kombat Pack 2, which do cost money. A grand total of eight new characters, countless skins, classic fatalities, a new trophy/achievement set and a range of balance fixes have been added since launch. The Mortal Kombat X content train has come to an end with the release of Mortal Kombat XL.
