Wtf, why does god kang sound so evil in this game. Atleast Shao Khan is so badass he can overcome such handicaps stacked against him.

More in-depth on Invasion mode.
We find out what Invasion mode entails and it's not from fucking WB or NRS themselves.
Goddamn content creators are doing their marketing job for them.

Well everyone's favorite modifiers came back. At least they added test your might back.
Yeah, that's where they will be making money. I can already see it getting annoying, while having to fight every single step and slowly progressing.
"Netherrealm doesn't seem to be loosening its grip on a crown as a King of single player mode" fuck off IGN. "Single Player CONTENT" my ass. This is an online mode, with different seasons to grind through.
I saw Max take on this mode just now and he made it clear that this is just Towers of Time as a board's game without a dice.
Play as Kung Lao, yet unlocks stuff for Sub Zero. So basically, one can expect stuff to be random and certain character unlockable stuff to be behind massive grind. I remember, when I had to unlock 2nd Shang Tsung's room just to get to Frost's content in MK11, which required 500 or so fatalities...
To be devil's advocate, though. I saw that they did bring additional challenges. It ain't just fighting other enemies with modifiers. Apparently you can also get challenges as, dodging projectiles (and test your might). So there seems to be a diversity in what challenges you will be getting, unlike towers of time, which was pretty much the same shit in different color. But that still gets washed away by the fact that you will be having to grind for everything, which will most definitely reduce entire experience into an annoying grindfest. Basically this mode is for people who get addicted to doing same thing over and over again and slogging through these "boards".
Nah. SF6 won this year easy.
Regardless if one likes World Tour in SF or not, that mode is designed with fun in mind. The grind in there, makes your character stronger and you get to interact with other favorite characters of yours. Be it directly or through messaging. Leveling those characters, rewards with you stuff you can use to improve your experience overall, like by giving you more fighting options and tools.
Here on other hand? Easter Eggs. References. And a fancy board to run through. An illusion of "exploration".
Well in the end. This is pretty much what I expected. A story mode for you to beat once and a mode to grind endlessly, while trying to get "gear" for your character, while having to slog through useless unlockables (oh and I bet they will give something like icons or whatever stuff, you couldn't care less about to unlock, just to fill up "unlockable content" numbers). You got that in MK11 and now you get that in MK1, just in different clothing. Same shit, different number.
Oh and they brought Kronika back. So time travel is still a theme. They can't be consistent at all. They reboot for the sake of rebooting and they will be rebooting the reboot and eh. I just got up and already getting tired from all of this.
This entire "game" is a soulless corporate cash grab.
I appreciate sharing stuff about the mode, but please don't mention me, when it comes to this "game" again. I really... and I mean REALLY don't wanna see more about this. It makes me physically ill, just seeing this creatively bankrupt mess. There is not a single ounce of passion in this product and it has nothing to offer, when it comes to creativity, innovation or expansion of MK world. Tis just a product and I prefer to see MK in positive light, not whatever this is.

The trailer was hot dookie sauce. Not too big into sindel but she look sooo fiiiinnnee. I dont like the direction they take regarding to the story. The shit is all over the place. Scorpion Subzero brothers? Liu Kang is an elder god instead of Raiden? Nah this aint it. I applaud them for trying to be different but this game reeks of Gen Z dog shit

It'll be another Krypt grind and rng bullshit.
Was hoping that it would be more like Deception Konquest where certain chests have certain items, but nope.
Hopefully all of the kameos for 1 vs 1, Towers and online are all there from the start and this is just unlocking additional kameos and characters for THIS mode only.
Eh, not sure how I really feel about this.
On the 1 hand the krypt was a pain in the ass with the shiload of fucking Fatalities requirement to open up an extra section, but if it's just unlocking shit like cosmetics and kameo skins for the main game modes then whatever. I may not really interact with this crap.

The "Story" for the first Invasion season is about a Hanzo Hasashi who has been going through all of the timelines trying to find one where his family is alive. He finds the MK1 timeline, and sees Harumi is in love with Kuai Liang and vows to burn this timeline to the ground.
So I guess different non canon threats "invade" the timeline.

I know, right? 4 years spent on what.... I don't see it either, it simply does not add up.
Speaking of MK11.... that game simply can't catch a break. It just keeps getting shat on now. Which is hilarious if you think about it, there are the same people who shat on X when 11 was revealed, and shat on 9 when X was revealed. Wouldn't be surprised if by the time MK13 is revealed, they'll start unloading on 12....I mean.....oNe......

Hey gang, quick question: are kameos optional or do we absolutely have to use them?

They are mandatory in every mode

People will always hate on every game that NRS makes for whatever the reason. I'd say MK11 was the first time the NRS scene came together but not in the way NRS had hoped lol. Most of these games are made to last two years tops but covid happened....and well we got stuck with MK11 a lot longer than NRS planned. People where beyond ready to move on when MK1 was finally announced.

Also good news worth yelling, regarding Invasions mode.....
"If you, like me, read the words "seasonal updates" and "progression" and start thinking about live-service titles and Battle Passes and so on, have no fear as Kirtzic very politely yelled "no" in my face when I asked whether it would have one. Instead, as you're playing the game in any mode whatsoever, seasonal credits are unlocked. It can't be purchased; it can only be earned, and then you can then use those credits to unlock cosmetics."
I'm SO GLAD that it's not a fucking Battle Pass system or dealing with Dragon Krystals / real life money paid bullshit.
HUGE fucking W as well, imo.
I don't give a shit about ever going online, not at least since the mid-MKX cycle, so this will be how I unlock cosmetic things and I'm glad that I don't have to bother with other toxic fucks online in Kombat League and that it's not tied to mtx bullshit. Halle-fucking-lujah!!!
Mortal Kombat 1's new mode is a board game full of the series' single-player "greatest hits"
