I think my biggest issue with Khaos Reigns as a DLC is its misuse of Noob Saibot. Instead of diving deeper into the Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuei conflict and giving it more depth, it felt like a missed opportunity. While it’s great that we get to play as Noob Saibot, I was really hoping he’d be saved for a sequel. We still haven’t had a real Mortal Kombat tournament, and there’s so much potential for storytelling around Sub-Zero, the Cyber Initiative, and their dynamics. I actually didn’t mind the gender swap; what surprised me more (and I thought might be more controversial) was how the cybernetics were presented as suits rather than full-body replacements. I thought that was a neat idea because it gave me hope that Cyrax and Sektor could have more personal motivations. I was also hoping for a proper Outworld tournament, something teased in Shang Tsung’s ending. But when I saw the scene where Cyrax learns Sub-Zero was lying, I couldn’t help but think, ‘Already?’ It felt rushed and like it didn’t live up to the buildup it deserved.
Hey! Thanks for your comment! The way they handled the conflict of the two clans this go around was very light and surface level. Like “ah well people already know this” but then proceeded to explain or try to be vague other shit people already know. Very strange writing. I mean technically we had that mortal Kombat tournament in the base-game but that was a kid-gloves version and doesn’t have nearly the same weight. I am in agreement with your assessment on Cyrax and Sektor, I like their suits and the designs for the most part. I too mostly just like how it’s a suit and not a full cyborg body, it’s different but I hope something happens with a cyber initiative. I could see that Sektor just got busy while being acting grandmaster and built an obedient cyborg in the wake of what happened here. Thanks again for your comment! Thanks for watching the video as far as you did! Hope you have a great day!
When this dropped I was so hopeful and excited as Havik is a long time favorite of mine. The price was ridiculous especially given that it’s so short. It could have been great…but I was very disappointed.
I was rather disappointed with how they handled Havik as a main villain. I was really interested with them positioning him like that and to see him just get taken care of rather easily was such a letdown.
Great video! I agree on some points. For me I overall preferred MK1's plot + expansion to MK11's. I do agree heavily in that the plot here does feel a bit wasted and should've been a bit longer perhaps, for those playing invasions mode, this was basically just one of those seasons but with a cinematic :/ BTW, this time, all tower endings, except the guest characters as usual, are canon. So there's tons of subplots that are going on right after the game ends, hence why Shao's rebellion is briefly brought up. Subscribed when your first MK video hit so I'm glad you're doing more great videos afterwards.
Welcome back! Thanks for coming back! I think in terms of base story, I’ll take MK1 plot over MK11 but I’ll still take aftermath over Khaos Reigns. I’m very pleased to hear that the Tower Endings this go around are canon so that gives me hope for my king Onaga to come back. I’ll be honest, with MK1 I did like only a few tower endings for some of my mains so shockingly reiko was not apart of that haha but this gives me hope. Think MK10 was the last one I did like all the endings. Also thank you for the kind words brother! Happy to have you! If you haven’t already, I suggest checking out my Psychonauts 2 or Space Marine 2 vids. I think they’re my best work along with this video but nonetheless I appreciate you sticking around! Have a good day!
Personally, even tho i agree that the pirce needs to be lowered I really enjoyed Khaos Reigns Tho i wouldve switched the "there will be blood" line with "Khaos will Regin supreme"
They should’ve have get rid of all multiverse stuff and go back to all tournament stuff and make it all dark with red, blue, purple, and grey stuff, make it the real mortal kombat, this story expansion should be part 1, and next story expansion should be Part 2
I skipped this game aside from watching people play and I'm a fighting game guy. I've been playing since street fighter 1 and played everything I could get my hands on, but this is actually not the entry to this series we as a fan base wanted. Kameos were not ok it seemed lazy almost like they didnt want to make full move sets for all the characters it wasnt a good look at all.
I’ve warmed up to the Kameo system a little bit as I could sometimes manage to have it flow with a combo. But I also hope they don’t bring it back for the next game. I hope they listen to the fan base cause it’s clear most people do not like it. They made Kameo fatalities and they are incredibly lazy and unimaginative. Thanks for the comment!

Honestly, they should have just made a Mortal Kombat game instead of Injustice Kombat.
You mean you don’t like ANOTHER multi-timeline centric story??? Netherrealm is shocked.
What the fuck does that even mean
Which one lmao
There were Dragons in Shao Khans army
