We went handson with Mortal Kombat 1's singleplayer modes at Gamescom, including the Story and Invasion modes.
It’s pretty unusual when you consider the social nature of the beat-em-up genre – from two-player arcade machines to tournaments attended by thousands – that Mortal Kombat has always looked after the single player.
Let’s start with that story mode first off, largely as it is both what we expect but in the best way. As we now know, the Mortal Kombat 1 universe is something of a reset, giving us some unique twists on what us MK veterans might know and love. Liu Kang is now the timey-wimey all-powerful god, and Raiden is just a good honest farmhand and buddy of the hat-throwing Kung Lao. It’s the latter who we spend the game’s opening chapter with, and quickly this new status quo is established.
While the story seems to be the traditional play once and be done with it affair though, Invasion mode is clearly where the meat of the singleplayer game will reside to keep you returning to MK1 long after the credits roll. Rather than the Living Towers of MK 11’s single player mode, Invasion takes the form of a board-game like layout, feeling initially like an expansion of the previous games’ Krypt modes.
Crucially these fights will net you rewards – not only unlocking the next encounter, but netting you kurrency and unlocking items, including concept art, costumes and stuff you can use in other modes. On top of that, you’ll also on occasion unlock equipment which is where the game’s RPG elements come in.
