Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is an absolutely incredible collection of the classic games with some great quality of life features added to them. The documentary is a fascinating look into the history of the Mortal Kombat team and the development of the series. It's a shame that the online features are barebones as of now, but I think for old school Mortal Kombat fans, this collection is a dream come true and has personally reignited my love for this franchise.
The Mortal Kombat series has undergone numerous re-releases and ports over the years, particularly with the first few titles in the franchise, but these were largely released years ago. Prior to this point, only the more recent releases from the last decade or so are easily accessible on modern platforms due to a lack of backwards compatibility unless you bought an Arcade 1Up unit with them on it.
The Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a dream come true for Mortal Kombat fans. There are multiple versions of every Mortal Kombat game, up to, and including, Mortal Kombat 4. The package has exhaustive extras, including a long documentary about the history of the series. Almost every game has online play with rollback netcode. And Mortal Kombat Trilogy has its load times and bugs fixed, so players can have every character in one game. My only complaints are minor, and that some of the games are awful. But I’m so glad those awful games are included, for completion’s sake and for nostalgic reasons. If you have any love for Mortal Kombat, the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a must-buy. It’s arguably the best retro game collection of all-time.
Another home run for those wizards at Digital Eclipse whom I hope will never stop weaving their game preservation magic, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection isn't just a pitch-perfect trip down memory lane, it's a love letter, a tantalising peeling back of the curtain, a look behind the scenes of one of the most legendary and landmark videogame franchises ever made. If you have even the smallest modicum of fondness for gaming's original bad boy, then the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is as essential as essential can be.
Up to this point, Capcom has been churning out a prodigious number of collections, many of them a hodge-podge of different lesser-known and cult classic hits. While their choices feel more like a potpourri, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is like slices of pizza with different toppings. It’s a delicious meal, filling and flavorful, if a little redundant. Sure, there’s some anchovy slices and someone decided to bring a Hawaiian pizza to the party, but no one’s forcing you to eat it and there’s more than enough of the good stuff to go around. I have great reverence for this package…
Digital Eclipse’s documentaries / compilations have been outstanding so far, but one thing all of the previous three instances of their series had in common was the fact the games were a bit too old and a bit too limited. That’s not to say they were compilations on bad games (dude, please, one of them was about Tetris, arguably the most perfect game of all time), but they were almost always about smaller arcade games from the 80s, maybe some games in the early 90s. It was time for the Gol...
The fight is calling in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, promising a Kollection of Klassics that prove to be the ultimate way to Test One’s Might.
Digital Eclipse's latest is a love letter to kombat with a K, warts and all.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a triumphant return for the series that brings back the best the series has to offer.
Not every game in the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is a klassic, but dev Digital Eclipse’s ability to kontextualise kontent makes this a kompilation well worth owning.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a fantastic blast from the past that captures everything that made the series legendary. It’s nostalgic, challenging, and surprisingly well-adapted for modern hardware. Despite a few technical hiccups, this collection is an easy recommendation for any fan of the f
As hard as it is to believe, Mortal Kombat has been brutalizing bones and raining down viscous claret on players since August 1992 (the birth year and month
All Mortal Kombat fans, those who feel nostalgia or curiosity about the series, and those looking to study it MUST experience this fantastic collection. Digital Eclipse continues to demonstrate that they are not only masters at reviving classics, but that true video game preservation requires a wealth of documentary context, which they are willing to provide.
We review Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, a massive collection of critically acclaimed games. Is it worth picking up? Read our impressions.
MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAT! Bet you can hear the techno remix of that in your head right now. After Mortal Kombat 1 did a lot of things right, yet failed to hold the interest of the fighting community due to some flaws, it’s time to rediscover the “klassics” once more. And not just the original trilogy, for once. This is XboxEra’s review for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, tested on Xbox Series X!
While I do think that Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is the most polarising Digital Eclipse museum experience so far, in terms of the quality of the games that are in it to play, I also think that it’s one of the most compelling experiences from a historical perspective. Who knows if we’ll ever have a series that has thrived this completely on notoriety again, and for that reason, this is a collection of curiosities that can’t be ignored.
Another top notch interactive documentary from Digital Eclipse, which explores the early days of Mortal Kombat in enjoyably forensic detail.
Mortal Kombat has been around for so long, it's easy to take it for granted. NetherRealm's newer fighting games have hit so consistently, setting the standard for what fighting games could be in terms of competitive contests and single-player stories. Older generations may have forgotten the series' humble beginnings, while younger players may not even be aware of them at all. Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, from Atari and Digital Eclipse, tells the story of the franchise's earliest days and does so in a way that's informative, honest, and fun. The games may not be what they once were, but they're still a blast to revisit, some of them made better by a few slight quality-of-life tweaks.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection provides some worthy updates to originals and showcases what makes the series so endearing.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection does a lot of things well, but its peculiar launch online choices and varying game quality might make it a tougher sell for those who aren’t familiar with earlier Mortal Kombat games. Still, there are a few great titles included in this collection, and an impressive amount of bonus content, so diehard Mortal Kombat fans are in for a treat.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection brings together a vast library of titles from the franchise’s early years, featuring multiple klassic games from the 90s and early 2000s, including arcade, console, and handheld versions.
Discover, or rediscover, the more than 30-year history of one of the most iconic fighting game franchises, which has become a cultural landmark.
The interactive encyclopedia of the Mortal Kombat series brings hours of video, hundreds of pieces of various materials, but most importantly, a bunch of games that you can play.
As a long-time fan, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection feels like the ultimate compilation. Revisiting Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, one of my personal favorites, scratched that nostalgia itch in all the right ways. Unfortunately, noticeable audio issues and input lag do mar the experience.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is here! I grew up playing Mortal Kombat. I played the first three games in the arcade, and by the time Mortal Kombat 3 had come out, I had taken up the dastardly hobby of stealing quarters from my mom’s laundry tin, just so I could…
Whether you’re a series fan or a newcomer, if you love fighting games consider Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage a must-have.
As video game franchises go, few have a more fascinating history than Mortal Kombat. Emerging from a ragtag team at an arcade-first developer, the blood-soaked fighter quickly became a phenomenon that rivaled one of its chief inspirations, Street Fighter, before being embroiled in controversy that reached the U.S. Senate. Digital Eclipse, a studio that has emerged as the preeminent compilation team, delivers an incredible collection of early-era Mortal Kombat titles along with a documentary t...
