- Darkstation7.0Mortal Kombat 11 already had tons of content and quite frankly, Aftermath doesn’t add that much to it. The new story is once again a gorgeous display of audiovisual prowess and exhilarating fight and stunt choreography but the whole deal is quite short and ultimately, a bit unnecessary. The expansion doesn’t do anything to the fighting mechanics that feel a bit stationary and abrupt, and the cheap AI remains an issue in the single-player content.
- We Got This Covered8.0Although the steep price may be tough to swallow, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is an impressive addition to the core game. The new additions to the roster are (generally speaking) a blast to use, and the additional story beats give fresh life to some of the more colorful faces of the franchise.
- ZTGD8.5The big question is the price tag. While the complete collection is a reasonable $60, owners of other versions are required to drop $40 to get the new story content and characters. It is a steep price for three characters and a new three-hour campaign, but the quality is there. For fans, it is a no-brainer, but for casuals the barrier to entry is high.
- PS Lifestyle8.0Shang Tsung taking a lead role brings a classic Mortal Kombat feel back to the story that has long since abandoned the more grounded conflict between the realms for events taking place on a much grander scale across time. While its price as an add-on may be pretty high for what it ultimately delivers, being part and parcel of a complete collection of Mortal Kombat 11 makes it a great entry point for new players who didn’t pick the brutal fighter up since it released last year.
- WorthPlaying7.5All in all, MK11: Aftermath is a fun reason to revisit an aging game. The new story is enjoyable for Shang Tsung alone, and the new characters add a bit to the game. However, if you've been keeping up with MK, then the $40 price tag might be too heavy for the amount of content that you get. Once the price comes down, it'll be a worthwhile way to round out Mortal Kombat 11's story. You'll get to arrest evil sorcerers as Robocop, and isn't that what we've all wanted to do?
- SKNR.net8.0Gamers know what to expect from the series and Aftermath brings in more story, characters, and features to truly round out the Mortal Kombat 11 experience and makes it a must own addition for fans of the series.
Gamer reviews
Im giving this just an 8 because even tho it does offer more variety in the story compared to base game, it literally doesnt matter but hey if you miss Shang Tsung then you will enjoy it.
Game was SUPER good. Graphics are top tier and the new characters play super good. The moves and fatal blows are amazing and brutal as h\*ll. The fatalities are bloody and awesome. Overall this has become one of my favorite games.
I had thought that Mortal Kombat XI was as close to the ultimate fighting game as possible. From the numerous characters and the brutal moves set against highly detailed backgrounds; the game was truly everything a fan could want. Combine that with the engaging story campaign, multiple play modes, and enough action to make a summer blockbuster seem tame; the game is a highlight of the series. With the release of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath has arrived with a new cinematic story campaign as well as new skins for Sheeva, Fujion and RoboCop. There are also additional sets available which provide more characters skins and features to round out the gameplay experience. I opted to dust off some of my vey rusty moves by going against the Joker as The Terminator and I must say it was a joy smashing around the Clown Prince of Crime while waiting for the opportunity to release a salvo of firepower on him. The new campaign is engaging as Liu Kang and his allies must again battle Shang Tsung and naturally the resulting action is brutal and fast. Gamers know what to expect from the series and Aftermath brings in more story, characters, and features to truly round out the Mortal Kombat 11 experience and makes it a must own addition for fans of the series. 4 stars out of 5
