One Character Already Proves Mortal Kombat 1 Is A Good Reboot

Mortal Kombat 1 acting as a reboot of the long-running fighting game franchise is a bold stroke, but looking at one of the changes made to a classic character shows off just how much potential lies in the overhaul. This isn’t the first time the series has gone back to the drawing board, with 2011’s Mortal Kombat returning to the first several tournaments while linking the narrative to its predecessor in the mainline saga, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. This approach of maintaining some form of continuity while going back to the start is echoed in Mortal Kombat 1, although the results might be a little less convoluted.
