Overview
Description

Mortal Kombat: Deception builds upon the success of its predecessor with intense fighting action and an expanded universe. Players must face the threat of the resurrected Dragon King, Onaga, through a sprawling Konquest Adventure mode and classic arcade battles. The game introduces innovative gameplay additions such as Chess Kombat and Puzzle Kombat mini-games, alongside online competitive play on select platforms. With a diverse roster and deep combat mechanics, it delivers a comprehensive martial arts experience.

The game retains the two‑punch/two‑kick control scheme, adds a sprint gauge, and expands the three‑tiered energy system for X‑Ray, EX and combo‑breaker moves, while letting players use the environment as a weapon. Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, it offers both single‑player story and robust online multiplayer modes for competitive play.
