The sub-boss this time around is a tag team with Noob Saibot and Smoke. And of course, there are a few new guys in there, too. Some of them return from Deadly Alliance, but there’s also quite a few characters who haven’t made an appearance in a “major” MK game since the 2D games, like Sindel and Baraka. Speaking of characters, there’s actually a lot more than there were in the predecessor. You can tell even from the menus that this won’t be a happy game, with a thunderstorm going on in the background and the dark techno that plays over the character select screen. And by protect, he means “Bring unlife to Liu Kang’s rotting corpse and use it as his own personal enforcer.”Īs you can imagine from the way the story goes, things are even darker and gritter this time. He’s put in so much effort protecting Earthrealm, and now that some idiot went out and resurrected Onaga, he’s going to protect the hell out of Earthrealm, whether they want it or not. The good news is that Raiden survived blowing himself up, but now he’s super pissed. If the One Being awakens, it will merge all the realms into itself, which basically means it’ll destroy the universe. Onaga’s plan, now that there’s nobody to stop him, is to gather six artifacts known as the Kamidogu, which are apparently part of an omnipotent power known as the One Being. In a last resort, Raiden blows himself and the Deadly Alliance up, but it doesn’t even scratch Onaga.
Raiden and the Deadly Alliance are even forced to team up to try to take Onaga down, but nothing they try works. At this rate, the only thing that could possibly stop Quan Chi and Shang Tsung now is if Onaga himself showed up.
He puts up a good fight, but the two manage to overpower him. While most of the heroes of Earthrealm are getting killed off, Raiden charges in to try and put a stop to the Deadly Alliance himself. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi have sent the Dragon King’s invincible army out after the heroes of Earthrealm, who quickly and fatally find out that they weren’t kidding about the ‘invincible’ part.
Don’t forget, we’re talking about the series that brought us Jarek, here.ĭeception starts off not long after the events of Deadly Alliance, and things are getting real bad, real fast. It also gave us some of the most boring characters in the franchise. Deceptionis a major improvement over the shaky new mechanics in Deadly Alliance, but don’t expect this entry to replace Virtua Fighter 4 in your collection, either. It needed more polish, more content and more Fatalities, and a sequel was quickly underway to deliver all this and more. Compared to the likes of Special Forces, Deadly Alliance was a success, at least for the MK fans.
