Mortal Kombat 4

While my favorite Mortal Kombat games are MKII (SNES) and MK Deception (GC), MK4 delivers where it counts for a fighting game. The graphics have aged like meh, which is expected for a game from the early 3D era (mid 1990s). The action, on the other hand, is very fast and very fluid. The basic moves for all the karacters are the same, with special attacks and kombos being what differentiates them. Of course, the special attacks and fatalities really sell MK4 as they're fun as ever. Despite its poorly aged graphics, MK4 ticks all the other boxes that make a fighting game worth owning.

Mortal Kombat 4 is an interesting game. It takes the series into the third dimension, in both graphics and gameplay, with the introduction of side-stepping. All of the animations in this game were done manually. That's nuts, as they look very smooth. I'm pleased to say that the GOG version works well on Windows 10. As for the game itself, you get a robust roster of classic, and new, characters. Dial-a-Combos and running make their return from MK3, and there's a host of new fatalities and animalities to unleash on your defeated opponent. If you love old school fighting games, get this.

nice i can play this mortal kombat 4 Classic 90S

The speed and fluidity of this game is still second to none, so if you get cracked out with your button press skills and combos, it's really fun. The eternal downside to this MK is that you can set it to the easiest AI difficulty, but the more competently merciless you get, it seems to, what i can only describe as "offending the AI's delicate little ego", which then causes it to kick up into some based sparring mode difficulty, which I've always hated. I wanted it easy so i could practice, not for it to take my skill level as a challenge. classic fave

I'm so glad that this game found its way on GOG. I love everything about this game and it brings back a lot of memories. The game is not perfect by any means and remains the most underrated out of the Mortal Kombat series. This game, honestly, is downright broken in a lot of areas but it has this charm to it all. I think it's a mix of nostalgia and the chaos of the gameplay that makes me love it. The AI can be REALLY cheap with the throws but this is a favorite when playing with friends. Best of all, it's super easy to pick up and play. It's also hard to take it seriously.
