“Mortal Kombat 1”, the newest gem of the famous NetherRealm Studios series, hit the stage on September 19, and we had the opportunity to explore this war universe on the Rog Ally handheld console.
From the start our experience was pleasant and smooth; The image quality was notable for its clarity and definition, even without connection to a power source.
This title has a stable performance, Staying at 30fps during shootouts and reaching 60fps during cutscenesThis ensures consistent performance, free from technical issues such as ‘lag’ or frame drops.
Despite an initial delay while the shaders are loading, once this process is finished the game flows quickly and efficiently, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the “Mortal Kombat” universe.
In terms of gameplay, the variety of movements offered by the cameo warriors adds a special element to the game. These are unique characters that serve as companions and offer new gameplay options, allowing you to create combinations of moves that can be decisive in the outcome of the fight.
While the initial roster of fighters may seem a bit limited, the available game modes offer enough variety and replayability potential to allow you to explore different tactics and fighting styles.
The effects and soundtrack are immersive and high quality, completing the visual experience and involving us in every confrontation.
On the other hand, The plot of “Mortal Kombat 1” is fascinating and cinematic. The dialogues are well constructed and build to the climax of the conflict.maintaining interest and expectation at all times.
As for the story, it must be said that it connects with the usual iconic characters, but also offers new origin stories that establish new bonds and alliances, adding depth and complexity to the game universe.
The characters are well balanced and the plot is full of unexpected developments; No alliance seems to last and allies are in conflict.
Since we have not had the opportunity to test the downloadable content, we cannot comment on the added value it can offer to the game. However, we can say that the highlights of the game are its visually stunning graphics, x-ray scenes and deaths.
However, we noticed that X-ray scenes are less frequent compared to “Mortal Kombat 11”, appearing only when special moves are applied, and not with simple hits at sensitive moments, as in the previous version.
Although we do not have a numerical rating scale, We recommend “Mortal Kombat 1” to all fans of the series and those looking for an intense, visually stunning combat experience. The latter makes a reservation about the Nintendo Switch version, which has been heavily criticized for its performance and graphics quality.
