I've always liked the Krypt/Nekropolis.

That monster really scares people though? Have any of you played a horror game before? Seen a horror movie? Nothing but jump scares these days. One little monster isn't gonna give you a heart attack.

Although I did prefer being able to stroll through the Krypt in peace without being yelled at by things. If they want to add something like that again to the next Krypt/Nekropolis I say they should get Dan Forden to pop out and say something spooky.


Yes, but Mortal Kombat is not Silent Hill for example. You don't approach the game with the same mindset, indeed.

Like you, I just want to visit the Krypt in peace.

I don't mind seeing monsters or things moving about in the background. And noises and whatnot.

But no big screamers for me, no thank you.
The MK Screamer is more annoying than scary. It is basically useless.

I want the new MKX Krypt to be immense.
And I wish the Nekropolis to become a fighting arena.

I'm kind of obsessed with the Nekropolis in MK9, it has a great design.

Dan Forden is fantastic but let's NOT waste any kind of roster slots whatsoever on him.

SAVE the roster slots for TANYA, please.

Ok? Fingers krossed.

Nightwolf, Kung Lao, Kabal, Jade, Jax, Smoke, etc should all have kameos in the Krypt. wow

If you find MK relaxing, i think you may be doing something wrong. It's meant to be exciting, visceral, gory, funny, shocking and challenging.

As for the krypt, i have one criticism. The Koins. Once everything is unlocked there is no use for all the earning of more koins in all the fighting modes. The Keys in Deception's konquest mode were a great idea, as were the people running around behind the gravestones in that krypt.

I want to see things and karakters run, too!

I think the Krypt needs to be a kool place to just roam around, even after you've unlocked everything.

The MK9 Krypt needs a huge upgrade. It needs to be at least 7 times bigger. The MK team could start with that.

I thought the screamer was fun. Scary, yes, but sometimes scary is fun!

I'd love to see another Krypt or Necropolis. I love being able to unlock concept arts, alternate costumes, and characters. I'd really like to see some behind the scenes stuff too. Maybe a video on how they decided on the final roster for the game? Maybe a short video describing how they came up with some of the new characters? It would be cool to see more about how the game took shape.

I would love to see the Krypt be in a first person view. And you can walk around exploring the krypt and unlocking chests or coffins or urns or whatever.

The vast Majority of the krypts would be opened by coins gathered in story mode, multiplayer/online or local and mini games. Each category would have a different currency.

And there were hidden keys scattered across the krypt that you would have to find in the first person view and different areas of the krypt would be unlockable as well.

It would be a very mini RPG krypt and it would be awesome.

I remember being not-too-fond of how the MK9 Krypt was set up, because it was easy to lose track of where you are or miss things. And it got a little tedious watching some of those animations over and over. I like that they gave the place some more atmosphere, but I personally prefer the MKDA/MKD style of Krypt that's a straightforward grid where you can quickly unlock your shit and get out.

I'd like to see something new and creative. MK9 took the Krypt in some interesting directions, hopefully the same is true for MKX. I don't think it needs to be much bigger though. MK9's was pretty damned big.

I like the idea of the Krypt being a first person mini game. Keep it creepy and bring on the jump scares! That sort of slapstick horror is kind of perfect for MK.

It'd be cool to have secret levers within the krypt that unlocks other passageways for super-unlockables. But speaking of Nekropolis, I hope there's a lot of unlockable costumes, Injustice teased the heck out of me with all those DLC packs.

I have (dangerously) already assumed that we will be getting the most alt costumes out of any MK game so far. I have already begun to get hopeful and hyped about this completely self-conjured notion.

That assumption is based on the following:

-supposed 24 character slots; less chars = more alts? hopefully
-injustice having multiple alt costumes
-The costume designs so far are are vastly new and different from the old renditions. The alt costume historically is not a throwback costume, therefore I believe we will receive many alt2, alt3, etc throwbacks from mk4-mkA.
-DLC is a money grab with substance and costumes are not only plausible but practical to construct and sell.


..and on a personal level: I have never liked MK costumes more than I do for MKX (and that is saying something). Everyone looks amazing and the designs are fitting, detailed, and beautiful. I selfishly want more

Could help but agree more man but I don't think the number of characters has anything to do with the number of costumes they get but your second point is very good because popular characters like Superman and Batman got lots and lots of Alts So it's very much possible the likes of scorpion and sub-zero would get the same at least I hope

I wasn't a big fan of MK9's Krypt. The additional space and venturing was a neat idea but it was very time consuming.

I did enjoy the Nekropolis though and I hope to see something similar in MKX.

Imo, DA/Deception had the best unlockables. The team photos are meh, but all the videos and concept art were amazing. Especially the videos. I loved the informative vids on the martial arts styles.

I agree with this...MK9 was missing behind the scenes stuff and unused concept artwork, all of the art to unlock were the official final stuff.

Exactly. I even enjoyed the storyboard intros and endings. Hopefully, they'll put more behind the scenes stuff in MKX. I'd love to see a variation breakdown video for all characters, as well as ALL the scrapped ideas.

I'm sure some of those scrapped ideas will actually end up being better than some of the in game stuff. Cuz, ya know, that's already happened. But then again, that's all personal taste.

MK9's krypt was annoying, I liked it far less than MKD/MKDA. Also, after you buy everything there is 0 point to the coins besides the challenge tower. At the end of the games life I think I had like 3.2m coins and around 2.4m on Vita, lol.

I can see there being a lot more unlockable costumes in MKX.

Yeah I agree with you. maybe instead of concept arts they should put alot more alts for each character in the krypt and even make the cost higher for the krypts.

I say put in both. I really enjoyed looking at all the concept arts in the games, it was interesting to see what differences they made. But I agree that they should make the cost way higher for everything, really. It shouldn't take two fights and you have enough to unlock a costume, maybe like 50 matches won with a character or something.

I'm sure they'll come up with a better system this time around.

You are right and you actually just gave me a cool idea instead of coins as a cost for alt costumes maybe they should make them harder to get like with a challenge.

e.g Win 10 matches without blocking.

or Win the arcade ladder on expert within a certain time
