Plot:
Throughout the Mortal Kombat universe,
the warriors were growing too strong and numerous for the realms to
handle. The warriors’ powers threaten to utterly destroy the fabric of
the MK universe.
Upon this scene, the Elder Gods demanded a safeguard to be put in place
to absorb the kombatants’ insatiable bloodlust. In an enormous crater
in Edenia, these warriors clashed in a single battle royale between the
Forces of Light and Darkness that would threaten to rip apart reality
and bring about the Apocalypse.
Without warning, a mysterious pyramid rises from the ground, and the tip
bursts into flames, attracting the warriors’ curiosity to see what it
was. The kombatants fought one another to get to the top, while Blaze,
the gods’ firespawn revealed himself to them. The firespawn was created
by Delia, a powerful Edenian sorceress, and the mother
of the main character in “Konquest” mode to destroy each fighter that
would threaten him in order to save the realms from Armageddon. This
would be the warriors’ last battle, their last chance to prove that they
are worthy of surviving, while many others will die. This will be the
final battle for Mortal Kombat, the battle that will determine the fate of the realms.
Gameplay:
Each character possesses two fighting styles (instead of the three
previously available in “Deadly Alliance” and “Deception”), one
hand-to-hand and one weapon. Some of the larger bosses, like Onaga, have
only one fighting style available (which does not show up, unless you
check the characters movelist. Other characters, such as Smoke and
Mokap, do not have a weapon style, but a second unarmed style. Also new
to the series is the ability to create a Fatality. These custom
fatalities are a constant series of commands that players input until
the Fatality ends. This method of performing Fatalities replaces the
character-specific Fatalities of previous Mortal Kombat games,
where gamers would simply enter one input and view the Fatality
cinematically. As the player adds each input, less time is allowed for
further inputs and some moves cannot be repeated. There are eleven
levels that can be achieved with Kreate a Fatality, lowest being a basic
Fatality to the highest being an “Ultimate Fatality”. The greater the
number of inputs for the fatality, the more amount of koins is gained.
The Konquest mode in Armageddon is a combination of the same mode seen in Deception with elements borrowed from the spin-off adventure title Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks.
The storyline centers on Taven and Daegon, two brothers who were put in
suspended animation because their mother known as Delia, (a sorceress)
and their father, Argus, (the Edenian protector god) foresaw a cataclysmic event brought about by the Mortal Kombat fighters.
Their awakening leads into the Konquest mode, which in turn leads into
the game’s standard play.Taven is the main hero that the player controls
in Konquest, while Daegon, his brother is the primary antagonist,
plotting with villains such as Shinnok and the Red Dragon Klan to
destroy his brother & destroy Blaze to attain total godhood..
Certain weapons are available at times in Konquest mode, which appear to
handle very much like those found in Shaolin Monks.
Various relics can be collected, one for each Kombatant (except Taven,
Chameleon, the two fighters that the player can create in the PS2
version, and additionally Khameleon in the Wii version), throughout this
mode.Konquest unlocks characters’ alternate costumes and other rewards
in the rest of the game, while successfully completing the Konquest
entirely will unlock Taven for arcade play. Meat, Daegon, and Blaze can
be unlocked by collecting enough relics.
Motor Kombat:
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon‘s mini-game is named “Motor Kombat”. True to the name, Ed Boon compares it to Mario Kart in the September 2006 issue of Official Xbox Magazine. Each of the characters has a customized go-kart,
as well as their own special moves. The Motor Kombat characters keeps
their cartoonish “super deformed” style that was introduced in Deception‘s Puzzle Kombat mode.
It also includes style-based fatalities for characters, and deathtraps.
The cars are based on the characters’ look & personality – for
instance, Baraka’s car has blades on the front bumper as a homage to
Baraka’s Blades.
Motor Kombat features
online play, as well as off-line support for up to four players (two
players in PS2 version) with a split-screen display. In the game,
players can knock their opponents into various deathtraps on the
courses, like rolling pins stones, crushers, slippery snow caves filled
with stalagmites, & endless pits. The character roster for Motor Kombat is Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Bo’ Rai Cho, Jax, Baraka, Raiden, Kitana, Mileena, Cyrax and Johnny Cage.
