As opposing team pieces come in contact with each other they battle it out to see who captures who with damage between fights carrying over. Or do you make your Pawn your best fighter since there are so many of them on the board? This opened up strategic decision making such as deciding to make your best character your King to give it the best survival chance.

On top of that, to give it even more of its own flair, many pieces such as the traditional Bishop (known as a Sorcerer in Chess Kombat), had a set of one-time use abilities that can change the course of the battle such as Imprisoning an opposing piece for a certain amount of turns. Trying to capture/protect pieces that had important perks like that was also part of the strategy of Chess Kombat. No one asked for Chess Kombat to be added in Mortal Kombat: Deception, but once MK fans like myself got a taste, we didn’t know how we ever lived without it. It’s been an oft-requested feature ever since. Sadly, Chess Kombat remains exclusive to Deception. In response to a fan asking Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon about Chess Kombat the other day, Boon joked about it being added in the next patch.E3 is just around the corner and there is a lot of speculation that the new Mortal Kombat is going to be announced. Since Mortal Kombat 2011 Netherealm Studios have released a game every two years either an MK game or Injustice and always announced the new one the summer after. Injustice 2 came out last year to some great reviews, as big a DC fan that I am, I’m much more of an MK fan. I am very excited for this to be announced. Bear in mind that this isn’t a list of predictions that will be another list for another time, these are the things that I want, they probably won’t happen, but I can dream! Now, let’s get started.

I’ve been asking for this mode to return since MK vs. DC, Netherealm studios seem very against this, but I want this so badly! The Konquest modes in MK Deception and Armageddon were such great features of those games and fans would love to have these modes back for sure.įor those of you who don’t know, the Konquest mode was an RPG mode in Deception where you played as Shujinko, this was the mode which opened up Mortal Kombat’s amazing mythology like no other game had before in the series.
