With the extras, it's a killer bargain.With that being said, there's a surprising amount of depth and complexity to this game mode, featured exclusively in Mortal Kombat: Deception. So Konquest mode didn't do it for us, but apart from that Deception is a high quality, varied, enjoyably bloodthirsty continuation of the most accessible fighting series around.
The option to skip through some of the previously dull training tasks is definitely welcome, but as an RPG it has to be said - this is seriously poor stuff. Then there's the real bugbear - Konquest mode, the RPG that has evolved from the training mode in Deadly Alliance. It's most closely related to Sega's Puyo Pop, and could hardly have less to do with a gritty fighting game. If Kombat Chess is recognisably descended from its parent game, Puzzle Kombat has been adopted from the long line of two-player brain-teasers that began with the almighty Tetris.
While it doesn't stimulate the kind of strategic thinking that would tax a grandmaster, it does a good job of turning a traditional, old school beat-'em-up into something new and original. There's a lot of depth here for anyone interested in a little bit more than just the familiar one-on-one fighting. Kombat Chess is a very odd fighting/ board-game hybrid in which you attempt to take out your opponent's king before he can do the same to you. This time you get two fatalities per character instead of just one, and, as ever, reducing your opponent to pieces of meat is very satisfying. You can also push opponents on to many grindy, spiky, rippy things that litter the edges of the deadly environments.Īpart from the interactive arenas and a new selection of characters, it does play very much like Deadly Alliance. Like Deadly Alliance, the fights take place in three-dimensional arenas, so you can circle your opponent while you wait for the best moment to strike. There are more fighting styles, more fatalities and, for the first time, the ability to commit suicide before your opponent can start tearing off your character's limbs and battering him with the soggy ends.
