Mortal Kombat X<\/em> introduces a new generation of Earthrealm warriors\u2026say hello to Cassandra Cage \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 Johnny Cage\u2019s daughter! This is awesome, but are they going to be able to ensure the safety of their dominion?<\/p>\n

Every character has a highly-detailed, intriguing backstory. GameRant comments, \u201cMortal Kombat X<\/em>\u00a0features as deep and varied a roster as fans would hope. Each character is extremely detailed and their animations are as smooth as ever. Watching two combatants go at it is a thing of beauty on-screen and in single player is near flawless.\u201d<\/p>\n
