Mortal Kombat: Deception vs Mortal Kombat X
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.


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.
