Non-fighting game entries in the franchise, such as Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, aren’t eligible (and they’re largely terrible, anyway).
With Mortal Kombat 11 now available and more DLC presumedly on the way, we decided to rank the Mortal Kombat mainline series from best to worst. From its early rise as a 2D fighter to its questionable turn to 3D - and its triumphant return to form - Mortal Kombat certainly has an interesting history. You could make an argument for Street Fighter, but in our view, Mortal Kombat is the most recognizable and iconic fighting game franchise of all time. The over-the-top fighting series is known for its copious amounts of blood and gore, cheekily dark atmosphere, and of course, the signature fatalities which seem to get more inventively disgusting with each new entry. Mortal Kombat has provided shocking delights since 1992. These are the trilogy of events which comprise Shao Kahn's final attempt at taking the Earth. The unholy act gives Shao Kahn the power to step through the dimensional gates and reclaim his queen, thus enabling him to finally seize the Earth. A scheme devised by the dark Emperor to break the rules set forth by the Elder Gods and witness the reincarnation of his former Queen Sindel on the Earth Realm itself. Little did they know that the tournament was merely a diversion. But his victory was short lived as he and his comrades find themselves lured into the Outworld to compete in a second tournament. The warrior monk, Liu Kang, would become the new Champion.
The Earth was on the brink of its destruction when a new generation of warriors were victorious in defending its realm.
It was for this reason the Elder Gods created the tournament called Mortal Kombat.įor nine generations Mortal Kombat was ruled by Outworld's finest warrior-prince Goro. Knowing that an Outworld invasion was imminent, the wise men appealed to the Elder Gods. They learned that travel between Earth and the new found realm would someday be possible if the conditions were right, the conditions being the unbalancing of the furies - negative and positive forces which keep our unstable universe from collapsing onto itself. It was a world ruled by chaos and a vicious Emperor known as Shao Kahn. Thousands of years ago an order of the wisest men from the far east received visions of the dark realm known as the Outworld.
