Mortal Kombat Mobile is a two-dimensional fighting game in which you control characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise like Sub-Zero, Reptile, Johnny Cage, Rayden, Smoke or Kitana, to fight other characters with similar abilities .
The game is rather similar to that of the older console and PC version; although for obvious reasons the traditional controls have been replaced by an intuitive system where you have to slide your fingers across the screen to hit your opponent.
As you fight, your characters will gain experience and, gradually, you might even add new characters to your initial roster. In this way, this version has a collectible component in the form of characters and letters that must be unlocked.
Visually speaking, Mortal Kombat is an impressive game. The character models are as good as anything you’ve ever seen on console. This is especially worth mentioning for those famous Fatalities which are almost as spectacular on an Android device as they are on a console.
Mortal Kombat X is one of the best alternatives that can be found on Android within the game genre. Not only does it have excellent characters to control and incredible graphics, but it has a very well adapted gameplay.
