These locales really show the jump that NetherRealm has been able to take by bringing Mortal Kombat into the next generation of consoles. The stages, in particular, have some of the most intricate designs the franchise has ever seen and boast a staggering amount of depth. Perhaps the thing I was most stunned by with Mortal Kombat 1 is just how amazing it looks. Those who want to button-mash their way through fights should get just as much out of this game as those who are wanting to try to compete at EVO. But even as a relative fighting game novice, I didn't find myself overwhelmed by the number of mechanical elements that Mortal Kombat 1 is looking to include. In some ways, this makes me a bit nervous as it might make the game a bit harder to approach.

When taking into account both Kameo fighters and the additional air moves, Mortal Kombat 1 seems like it's going to allow for more inventive and extensive combos than the series has ever seen. It's not yet known just how many permutations this will make for, but the experimentation this system will allow is part of MK1's allure. These additional fighters are integral to how you play the game as you'll be prompted to choose your Kameo partner immediately after selecting your primary combatant. Unlike Mortal Kombat 11, MK1 is introducing assist elements in the form of these 'Kameo' characters. Kameo fighters are the biggest mechanical change to Mortal Kombat 1 and they definitely aren't a novelty as I initially thought they might be. All four of these fighters felt familiar while also being very much unique to MK1. Kenshi also still comes equipped with his iconic sword, but he can now summon a phantom version of himself to fight alongside him during battles. Even though he's now the Fire God, Liu Kang's moveset continues to center around fast-paced strikes and high-flying kicks. Despite being set within a new version of the Mortal Kombat universe, all four characters felt pretty similar to their previous incarnations while also having some fresh ideas baked in. My demo allowed me to play as four of the game's fighters which included Liu Kang, Kenshi, Kitana, and Sub-Zero.
