Mortal Kombat (also known as Mortal Kombat 9) is a fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in 2011.

It is the first instalment to be published by Warner Bros. Interactive, following Midway’s Bankrupcy after Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Gameplay
Like most other Mortal Kombat games it is a fighting game, it is also the first instalment since Mortal Kombat Trilogy to feature traditional 2D fighting, rather than using full arena movement.

Why It Always Performs The Fatality

 * 1) The game returns to having blood and gore, the series' charm, especially during Fatalities, after the release of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, which came out three years before this one did, since that game had to tone down the graphic violence due to the use of DC characters at the time.
 * 2) * In addition it also broughts back the traditional 2D combat, rather than using full arena movement, akin to the Xbox/PS2 era mortal kombat games, making it much easier to play. Also unlike the previous games, movement is much more responsive and less awkward, this also makes the controls much more responsive and easier to get used to than the Xbox/PS2 Era games as well as making the movement more fluid.
 * 3) A reboot that starts the series from the beginning but doesn't ignore the rest of the games. Unlike most reboots it also feels like a sequel due to the fact, the events of the previous games are directly mentioned and showned in the opening cutscene. Making this both a sequel-reboot. Speaking of being both a reboot and a sequel, the game even shows in the opening cutscene the events of the previous games as a note making that this game still has connection to the previous games despite the fact it was mainly sold as a reboot.
 * 4) It includes almost all of the memorable Mortal Kombat characters of the entire franchise, like Scorpion, Sub Zero, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Raiden, Kano, Jax, Kitana and Stryker. The character roster is also big and some of the characters from older games would later appear as DLC, Like Kenshi and Rain.
 * 5) * It is also the first game in the series to feature guest characters, this being Kratos from God of War (PS3 and PS Vita versions only) and Freddy Kreuger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, guest characters would also appear in the following netherrealm Mortal Kombat games.
 * 6) The fatalities are really bloody and amazing.
 * 7) Stage fatalities are such a creative killing mechanism.
 * 8) Babalities are funnier than ever!
 * 9) Graphics look polished.
 * 10) The brand new X-Ray moves are so brutal that it made Mortal Kombat controversial again for being violent.
 * 11) Test your might and Test your sight returns from Deadly Alliance, also introducing Test your Strike and Test Your Luck (also the Vita version has Test your Balance and Test your Slice).
 * 12) Guest characters like Freddy Krueger and Kratos including an exclusive arena (exclusively in PS3 and Vita).
 * 13) The Vita version works well and has challenges exclusive for it that use the touch screen.
 * 14) Unlike most fighting games, it has an actual story mode.
 * 15) Very easy to do Kombos without the need of button mashing.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Online servers are terrible (a problem with NetherRealm Studios' games in general) and the online in the Vita version is shut down 2 years after it's released while the PS3 version was shut down in March 2020 without any warning.
 * 2) The PS3 version of Komplete Edition can freeze sometimes during launch, and with the game being removed from digital stores it's more than unlikely to be fixed, fortunately there's a solution for it.
 * 3) You can't skip any of the cutscenes in Story Mode unless you've already beaten it.
 * 4) If you want to restart your progress in Story Mode, the only way to do that is to delete your entire save file of the whole game, along with all of your Koins and stats, and create a new one.

Trvia

 * Due to it’s content the game was banned in Australia, most likely also because of the rating system, Though in 2013 it eventually was released in Australia.
