There's a bigger emphasis on hard-hitting moves as opposed to simple hits, but the system affords the user the ability to perform a limited amount of juggling and low-number combo work along with standard, low-damage pokes. Instead of going for a complete revamp to the core fighting mechanics, Mortal Kombat X brings back just about everything that worked from the previous title. That move turned out to the premiere of the series' 10th iteration on the current-generation consoles and PC, Mortal Kombat X. The development of Injustice: Gods Among Us cemented that idea, and while DC fans are content with a solid fighting game of their own, others awaited the studio's next move. It featured a major overhaul of the fighting mechanics, a plethora of modes that range from expected to brilliantly insane, and a story mode that is rarely emulated in the fighting game world. The ninth entry in the Mortal Kombat series is considered by some to be a high watermark, as it greatly pleased fans and garnered the attention of those who thought the series had run its course.
