Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

FightingPlatformHack and slash/Beat 'em up

Fantasy

This spin-off attempts to translate the hyper-violence of Mortal Kombat into a side-scrolling action game, with mixed results. While the series' signature fatalities and special moves make a return, the rigid platforming and imprecise combat often lead to frustrating deaths. Despite its flaws, Mythologies is a fascinating curio, offering a deeper dive into the lore and a glimpse at what developers were willing to attempt during the 3D revolution.

About Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Details
In a storyline that is reminiscent of Looking Glass's Thief, the Lin Kuei assassin/thief is sent to steal an important document; this mission proves to be a test from a mysterious character (which turns out to be MK4's Quan Chi) and who charges you upon retrieval of this object to recover an ancient medallion of untold power. However once you retrieve the medallion, Quan Chi reveals that he actually tricked you, and the medallion is the key to awakening the demonic Shinnok (yup, the same baddie from MK4). You must now become a reluctant hero, as you pursue Quan Chi trough hell itself hoping you get to Shinnok before him.
