Here’s More, Unsurprisingly Gory, Mortal Kombat X Gameplay (NSFW)

From what we’ve seen so far, Mortal Kombat X is shaping up to be the best, if not the most violent, instalment in the 22-year old beat-em-up series. Another gameplay clip has popped up online and while it’s a bit too much for my tastes, I certainly won’t stand in the way of anyone keen to literally dispense some brain-snapping bargains on their virtual foes. NSFW purely for crazy amounts of blood, gore and blood-gore.

Courtesy of Games HQ, the video shows two fights — Scorpion against Sub-Zero and Kano punching it out with Raiden. Apparently it’s Xbox One and/or PS4 gameplay — the clip’s description isn’t sure which platform it’s from. There is a whole six minutes and 30 seconds of it though.

Raiden has an interesting move where he places balls of lightning in the air, which can sit there as obstacles for your opponent, or be connected together via a beam using a separate action. The fatalities are brutal, with Raiden copping some back-of-the-head laser action from Kano.

One of the most talked-about features is the X-ray mode that shows somewhat involved details of injuries suffered by players, such as breaking bones, twisted muscles and the like. There’s a bit of a disconnect though — towards the end of the clip you clearly see poor Raiden endure a spinal injury that would leave him in a wheelchair, yet he stands back up just a few seconds later.

Obviously, it’s a video game and Raiden is a supernatural being, so it can be explained away, but it still looks odd.
