Mortal Kombat Tower Mode Offers Hundreds Of Twisted Challenges
Fighting games have a history of veering off course in inexplicable ways. That's not to say we didn't appreciate Tekken's bowling minigames or Soul Caliber's challenge-based campaign mode. Mortal Kombat has been on the forefront of such diversions over the years, wrapping chess games, kart racers, and other extras into the mix. The latest Mortal Kombat game's extra mode doesn't seem quite as ambitious (or weird) as a go-kart outing in the netherrealm, but it still looks pretty great.
The Tower is a series of 300 challenges, which are designed to test players in increasingly bizarre ways. One moment, you may have to beat your opponent after getting your arms ripped off, the next you're tossing grenades into a moving bucket. Watch the video below -- an IGN exclusive -- to see it in action.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
