The core game is still fantastic, but a year has passed since launch. This is the same Mortal Kombat X that released last year, just with new fighters and skins added in. There are no new story expansions, no new Towers, and no new Krypt items to unlock. All the base content is still there, alongside the additional Kombat Packs. Mortal Kombat XL is essentially the same game as Mortal Kombat X. Is there enough content here to keep fans invested in the year old game, or are these packs preying on the wallet? The grand bulk of this new content comes from Kombat Pack 1 and Kombat Pack 2, which do cost money.
A grand total of eight new characters, countless skins, classic fatalities, a new trophy/achievement set and a range of balance fixes have been added since launch. The Mortal Kombat X content train has come to an end with the release of Mortal Kombat XL.
