Mortal Kombat 1 Hands-Six6s Live Casino On Impressions

The Story of MK1 focuses on Liu Kang’s newly created timeline Six6s Live Casino, featuring characters both new and old, yet all with unique twists. The gameplay here is as to be expected from a Mortal Kombat story: a series of cutscenes broken up with fights here and there. This isn’t the most unique, yet it perfectly achieves what it aims, as a vessel for telling a wonderfully fun narrative with great callbacks to previous entries to the series. The two biggest departures from the story are the formatting of the final chapter, which I won’t spoil here but is incredible, especially for long-time fans, and the addition of Test Your Might — button-mashing sequences— dotted through some cutscenes, which is a good way to break up the longer ones . Overall, while short, the story is one of the best in the modern Mortal Kombat era and is incredibly fun.

Invasion Mode is Mortal Kombat 1’s new single-player mode, replacing Living Towers and Towers of Time.

It combines RPG elements and features from the Krypt, offering chests, unlockables, and character progression.

The mode is set on a game board, where players fight enemies, complete challenges (like Test Your Might), and earn XP for their main and Kameo characters.

Players earn Krowns and Seasonal Kredits to buy items and exclusive cosmetics.

Invasion Mode is seasonal, with new boards, stories, and rewards each season.

Hidden rotating Towers still exist but are not clearly explained in-game.

Core gameplay remains similar but includes new additions, especially Kameos—assist characters with unique moves for combos, defense, and utility.

Kameos add depth without changing the classic Mortal Kombat formula.

Gameplay is faster-paced compared to Mortal Kombat 11.

Fatalities and Brutalities have been improved, with Kameo versions and easier execution by removing restrictive conditions.

Kombat League is the ranked mode, offering a competitive ladder and seasonal rewards.
