Mortal Kombat 11: fixes for heavy time towers and grinds on the way

By Adam Bankhurst

As a result of complaints from Mortal Kombat 11's "super hard drives", Ed Boon and NetherRealm Studios reassured their fans that fixes would be coming soon.

Ed Boon took to Twitter with a "PSA MK11" to inform the fans of Mortal Kombat 11 that NetherRealm has heard their complaints about the Time Towers and hopes / hopes that the corrections made to these game modes will arrive in a time frame that more closely resembles "HOURS that days. "The fixes will also solve the problems associated with Krypt, the area in which you unlock new items, which currently requires an extended grinding amount to accumulate the currency used.

Boon's comments follow complaints from players that Time Towers are too difficult and require high-level equipment and a variety of single-use upgrades, which can only be unlocked after hours. of preparation. Reddit fans have suggested that the game was based on encouraging expenses in the micro-transaction store, although this complaint can not be targeted over time, as the premium currency can not be used to circumvent shredding.

In our review of Mortal Kombat 11, we praised the game, while claiming that the "biggest problems of MK11" are in the towers of time. Some fights are "little fun to play" because of some modifiers that make the challenges more frustrating than ever before. fun.

Regarding Krypt, the biggest problem of our criticism is the "unwanted booty" that appeared too often when players open "expensive [chests] in the hope of finding a new fatality, a skin, a character intro or a brutality. "More than ever, they ended up" with just a bunch of speed increases for a character you do not use, junk food consumables, concept art or some extra money. "

Despite these problems, we awarded Mortal Kombat 11 a score of 9.0 and declared it was "the best game in the 27-year-old series, thanks to a deep and methodical new mechanics and a fun story" . So we hope that these changes will make an already fantastic set even better.
