About Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition
NetherRealm Studios released Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition on February 28, 2012. This package bundles the full base game with every piece of downloadable content that came out before this date. It also adds the "Songs Inspired by the Warriors" soundtrack and a digital copy of the 1995 live-action movie. The title launched on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and later hit the PlayStation Vita. This edition serves as the definitive version for Windows users while adding unique features like a new Challenge Tower exclusively to the Vita port.
Gameplay
You spend your time selecting fighters and engaging in one-on-one bouts that rely on precise timing and memorized combos. The combat system demands you manage distance, block high or low attacks, and execute special moves using specific button sequences. A typical session involves grinding through the single-player Krypt to find hidden items or climbing the Challenge Tower to test your skills against scripted scenarios. Multiplayer modes let you face off online or locally with friends. Controls feel tight on consoles but require careful calibration on PC. The Vita version adds touch controls for special moves, which changes how you execute fatalities and finishers during a match.
What Players Think
Critics gave this release solid marks, with Metacritic sitting at 82/100 and IGDB averaging 82.6 out of 100 from 116 ratings. Players seem engaged but find the grind difficult since the average achievement unlock rate sits at a low 11%. The rarest trophy is "Ultimate Respect!" which only 2.30% of players have unlocked, proving that finishing specific opponents without taking damage remains a tough hurdle. Community moods reflect a mix of nostalgia for the brutal finishers and frustration with the difficulty spikes in later towers. Most veterans stick around for the multiplayer ladder or to collect every costume available in this complete package.
PlayPile's Take
This edition is worth buying if you want the full catalog without hunting down DLC separately. The price point usually reflects a bundled value, making it a solid entry for new players compared to chasing individual add-ons. You should expect a long time investment if you aim for all 50 achievements. The game is best for fighters who enjoy mastering complex combos and don't mind repetitive modes. Skip this if you only care about the movie content or lack the patience for high-difficulty challenge towers. The Vita version stands out as a distinct experience due to its exclusive tower mode and touch interface.
