Mortal Kombat (used guaranteed)

Mortal Kombat is a traditional game of combat in 2D . The character is controlled by pressing the appropriate buttons, by default these are the upper punch, upper kick, lower punch, lower kick, block and the D-pad of the joystick to move the character. Depending on the distance and position, the player can perform uprights , roundhouse kicks, backhand kicks and sweeps. In Mortal Kombat, the style of executing special moves has also changed. Unlike most games of the time, which used circular rotations of the joystick to perform such moves, followed by pressing the attack button, Mortal Kombat used virtually no joystick rotations, and some special moves were performed without pressing the attack button.

Mortal Kombat is the only fighting game in the entire series to include a scoring system and its own leaderboard. The player earns points by damaging the opponent, winning the round and winning the minigame " Test Your Might " . The score for winning a round is based on the time spent in the duel and the amount of damage. Unscathed in the first round, the player receives a Flawless Victory as a bonus , And a Double Impeccable And 500,000 points in the second round. The execution of a finishing move ( eng. fatality ) brings the player 100,000 points. 

The game first introduced the concept of juggling (juggling), which became so popular that it was later implemented in numerous other games, and not just fighting games. The principle of juggling is that while the fighter is in the air, he becomes uncontrollable from the player's side and is open to enemy attacks until he lands. To exploit this opportunity, the player must pluck his opponent's fighter off the ground and hold him in the air with a series of strikes. In early versions of the game, juggling was not that difficult, as opponents were launched into the air after each hit. In version 5.0, the physics were changed: characters began to react to hits more realistically and fell to the ground faster, which reduced the number of hits that could be landed on an enemy in the air to three.

Another innovation introduced in Mortal Kombat was the appearance of a secret enemy: the reptile .

Test your strength

The minigame appears in the first Mortal Kombat game between fights. The player must break the material, the hardness of which depends on how far the player has advanced in the game. The player must quickly press two buttons to fill the energy bar. As the energy bar increases, the resistance of materials also increases. The first material the player must break is wood. Then come stone, steel, ruby ​​and diamond. After the player breaks the diamond, the game will return to the first level and the player will start over with the tree.

The minigame appears at various intervals in single and two-player modes. In single player mode, the game appears after every third battle, for two - after every fifth match.

Since a single player game only lasts twelve games (unless the player takes a continuation), the two most difficult materials to break will be inaccessible to the player. This means that the player will have to complete two minigames in two-player mode. At the same time, for each player in the two-player mode, the progress in the minigame is counted separately.

Test Your Might is absent from subsequent games in the series, until 2002, when this minigame is reappeared in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance . The minigame has received a new look thanks to the game's move to 3D , as well as more levels (bamboo, coal, oak, brick, mahogany, marble, iron and only later diamond). In the first part, Test Your Might was used to earn points, in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, for winning the next round of the minigame, they started issuing coins to make purchases in the Krypt. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks , this minigame appears when the player has to perform an action that requires power or during certain battles with the boss . IN " Mortal Combat Against DC Universe » Test Your Might mode is used when one fighter breaks through the walls of one building to another and the amount of damage inflicted depends on how actively both players press the buttons. This game mode is also present in Mortal Kombat X.
