Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A fast, brutal fighter with a good story and great guest characters that many call the best modern MK. Skip it if you want a lively online scene, play on keyboard, or are a newcomer.
Great for
Fans of fast, gory fighters who enjoy story, towers and couch play with friends, ideally with a controller
Main risk
Online is dominated by veterans and the tutorial is weak, so newcomers get stomped; keyboard controls are poor
