It's been quite a few years since the first installment in the series was released, but Mortal Kombat has aged very well and continues to be a favourite of the fans of fighting video games. Its extreme level of violence, whose maximum exponent is represented in the form of Fatalities, has never been a problem and it's undoubtedly one of the keys to the series' popularity alongside its exciting gameplay features and thrilling combat system. Mortal Kombat 1 rebooted the series' history and offered players a completely different universe to play at, becoming a big hit right after it was released. After that, many fighters were added to the game, and developer NetherRealm Studios doesn't plan to stop adding more anytime soon.
