Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Reviews
If you have not purchased the original MK11 or you did but never got round to buying any of the DLC and character packs than for the asking price I would absolutely recommend the Kombat Kollection which has the original game, all the DLC to date as well as the Aftermath expansion and content all together in one package for just a little more than the expansion by itself. This really is the best version to buy and it just makes the standalone price seem over the top but at this point, it is probably fair to say if you have purchased all the DLC than Aftermath is a no brainer for you. For me, revisiting MK11 because of Aftermath reminded me just why I loved this game on release and now thanks to the Kombat Kollection I am inspired to try out all the DLC characters I missed along with all the quality of life updates and refinements made along with this new update. Quite frankly, just having Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa voice Shang Tsung to deliver his iconic “IT HAS BEGUN” makes Aftermath a must have just by itself!
Blood and guts are still in the Mortal Kombat saga, and this edition is the most complete to date, with added characters, settings and stories.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath gives us a delicious performance after an already impressive first showing, but nothing much else.
Yep, we’ve all said it. Followed by a thrust of our hands forwards and then back towards our chest, imitating the infamous Scorpion setting in his ranged stinger from this critically acclaimed franchise. Mortal Kombat 11 has found its place with casual beat-em-up gamers and pro players alike since its launch in April 2019, and with 13 months of optimisations and updates, we finally welcome the first major DLC for this franchise, ‘Aftermath’ to the fold. Our very own Craig Green already covered the main game back last year, the link to the review can be found here. We won’t be retracing these steps today and will just be focusing on the additions found as part of this pricey DLC.
While this is a good DLC story-wise, there was a lot more to be expected in terms of other content - especially considering its hefty price.
Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath is the biggest update for the game yet. It adds three hours to the already epic storyline and next to that three great characters, Sheeva, Fujin and RoboCop. Next to the new story and characters the bloodshed can be varied in new levels with stage fatalities of in a more peaceful matter with a friendship. The only real downside to the content is the price. If you already have the game and other DLC this is a pretty steap deal. Otherwise, this is the moment to step in the game.

The new DLC brings more fun to an already great game, however, it should have been available at a more reasonable price point.
