With that all in mind, it’s also important to point out that I actually found online matches to be pretty mixed. And trust me, with a game like Mortal Kombat 11, progression is important as NetherRealm has made it a real chore to unlock everything the game has to offer. It almost makes the novelty of the experience feel pointless if I can’t progress in the overall game. Even worse, some modes I could play didn’t allow me to collect rewards for whatever reason unless I had a wifi connection. I had taken the game with me to class and was genuinely surprised how many modes I didn’t have access to anymore without a wifi connection. I think the most jarring thing about the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 11 is how much online connectivity is required. “The Krypt is a staple in the Mortal Kombat series and it’s really bad in the Switch version.” Hopefully, as time goes on, updates will work to make this mode more enjoyable to run through as it acts as the main hub to collect a majority of the game’s unlockables.

It’s riddled with models and textures that look ripped out of an early PS3 game. The Krypt is a staple in the Mortal Kombat series and it’s really bad in the Switch version. It’s a small problem in what pretty much is a nearly identical experience to all other versions. Cutscenes are pre-rendered using graphics from the other versions of the game, and when transitioning from a cutscene to gameplay, I noticed things can begin to stutter just a bit. While this isn’t a huge gripe, it did become quite annoying after long hours of gameplay.Īdditionally, the game’s story mode also transitions quite well, with only a couple of technical hiccups that can be more noticeable at times. It’s also worth mentioning that the menu screens and text throughout the game just generally look really fuzzy and can be hard to read. On top of that, fatalities and fatal blows are still immensely satisfying and visually impressive. Graphically, backgrounds clearly took the biggest hit in the transition to Switch while character models really hold up insanely well. I pretty much expected this to be the case though, and still, Mortal Kombat 11 certainly isn’t unplayable by any means with Nintendo’s controller options.

When I switched to my Pro Controller, I didn’t fare much better. The Joy-Cons themselves get the job done, but the D-pad can be incredibly tough to use, especially during the game’s tougher fights. I’ve always been most comfortable with the DualShock’s D-pad and after a multitude of hours with Mortal Kombat 11 on Switch, I still prefer my DualShock 4. The Switch controllers aren’t nearly ideal for any fighting game.
“While Mortal Kombat 11 for Switch is probably the worst version of the game you can buy from a visual standpoint, you won’t find much to complain about on the gameplay side of things.”
