Mortal Kombat X combines unparalleled, cinematic presentation with all new gameplay. For the first time, players can choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style.
The game is said to include a new, original and non-linear storyline "showcasing some of the game's most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together." At E3 2014, it was confirmed that the story would begin at the end of the previous game and then eventually transition to twenty-five years into the future, placing emphasis on aged veterans, new characters and the next-generation offspring of the previous fighters.
Characters
Along with incumbents Scorpion and Sub-Zero, four new fighters have been announced so far: D'Vorah, a woman who controls insects; Ferra/Torr, a pairing consisting of a dwarf-woman and a giant masked brute; Cassie Cage, the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade; and Kotal Kahn, an Aztec-inspired "blood god." According to series creator Ed Boon, the game's main antagonist will be a "surprise returning character." Each character will come in three very different versions. For example, Scorpion's three variations are "Hellfire", "Ninjutsu" and "Inferno".

The game has some excellent graphics and environments. Each and every level (Arena) within the game has some great level design, and awesome backgrounds. The game (I believe) comes shipped with 13 stock playable and fightable characters that you can play both within and outside the campaign. Although this is not as many as other Mortal Kombat X titles, each and every character within X is very, very well balanced, and have 3 unique finishers. Unlike other Mortal Kombat tittles, each and every character is balanced to one another- making it fun and easy for competitive gameplay.
Outside of the campaign, the game also comes shipped with other gamemodes. These gamemodes consist of Single fight, Online fight, co-op fight, towers and more. Each and every gamemode provides a refreshing experience, especially the towers gamemode which is were you progress through the levels using a character of your choice.
Conclusion: TL;DR: Great, exciting and very well balanced gameplay. Great graphics, awesome background and very well done story line. Definitely one of the best titles throughout the series. However poor PC port.
