The gameplay mechanics are wonky as hell, it's extremely difficult to pull off some combos because some of the abilities have a cool-down affect which stops you from performing them, I also don't understand the blocking mechanics in the slightest bit, In my perspective, you shouldn't be able to get hit at all while blocking unless they throw you, in this game, none of that matters, blocking barely even works half the time. If you want to play a Mortal Kombat game, stick to the old games and stay far away from this garbage. Not to mention that they decided to throw in some pointless micro-transactions for you to buy some more useless gear for your character, I bought the Kombat Pack for this, mostly just for the Klassic Ninja outfits which, by the way, you have to get Sub-Zero and Scorpion's classic MK2 masks by going through a pointless Tower called "The Gauntlet", and to do that, you'll need to go through more than 26 stages, and each one of the stages are 5x more difficult to beat than MK2 & MK3's AI combined, don't waste your time, money, or energy on this trashy excuse for a Mortal Kombat game.
