Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath's story expansion and new characters add the cherry on top of NetherRealm's fighting game sundae.
Featuring some godlike character writing and a plethora of content to bulk out your beat' em up, Aftermath re-energises your Kombat experience
Mortal Kombat 11 is already one of the most solid entries in the series. Even if we set aside its gorgeous graphics and fantastic balancing of characters, it proceeds to give us a movie-quality narrative and provides a gameplay experience accessible for gamers of all experience levels. Adding characters like Joker and Spawn was a great move and one we had seen before in the franchise, but the combination of features delivered in this first expansion pack (a phrase I haven’t had the delight of saying in a VERY long time) only makes the game better and gives you even more for your dollar.
The 28-year-old Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise has so many iconic fighters and world ending shenanigans that it’s basically its own cinematic universe
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath adds to an already incredible story experience. If story isn't your jam though, then it might be hard to find value.
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is a really great expansion to an already amazing fighting game. All of the playable characters are solid additions that feel pretty unique and the added story is another fun time traveling ride with a notable performance from Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is a fantastic ending to Mortal Kombat's story, and adds three fantastic characters to the game. Casual fans might find it a little pricey, but this is an excellent expansion.
While this is a good DLC story-wise, there was a lot more to be expected in terms of other content - especially considering its hefty price.

Weighing in at a hefty £34.99, Aftermath feels a bit pricey, despite how good the content is. The Friendships, the new stages and the balance update are all free downloads, so what you’re really paying for is a very short campaign and three extra characters. It’s going to be a very hard sell to casual fans of the series. The package which includes the base game definitely feels like the better deal weighing in around £49.99, but those that own it already might feel a little hard done by.
Though technically released for free alongside Aftermath, the Friendship finishers deserve a shout-out for how creative and silly they are. From the Joker being interrupted by a stray Batarang to Kitana playing patty-cake with the sadly-absent Mileena, there’s a ton of fanservice and straight-up goofy imagery shoved into each Friendship. It’s a good addition to the base game, as I could watch Robocop dance all day. The new versions of the Deadpool and Soul Chamber stages are brilliant as well, though my favorite new stage has to be the Retrocade, which swaps backgrounds every round between a n...
