Amazon is generally a good place to go when you want to save big on major AAA video games. The company is having a sale right now — as a matter of fact — that has slashed the price on one of the best fighting games currently available for consoles and PC. That game is NertherRealm Studio’s Mortal Kombat 11.

Right now, you can get it on Amazon for a low $28.87 on the Xbox One. That’s a deal you don’t want to pass up on, especially if you’re a fan of the fighting genre. This latest installment is quite possibly the best MK game to date. It has everything you could ever want, from a bevvy of interesting characters to play as to a gripping story.

That latter element is of particular importance. Lately, NetherRealm Studios has put a heavy emphasis on storytelling and expanding the MK lore with unique characters and interesting plot points. This time around, Earthrealm warriors are pitted against the beautiful, yet cold Kronika. She has orchestrated events in the MK universe ever since the beginning.

You see, she has the power to shape the sands of time. What she wants to happen generally does. That is until Raiden and his cast of heroes get in the way. Throughout the story, you’ll find out just what Kronika has up her sleeve. She has a band of anti-heroes herself, including Shao Kahn, evil Liu Kang, and many others.

The voice-acting is as good as it has ever been. From start to finish, you’ll be locked into the series of events that play out. When you’re not enjoying the story, there are plenty of modes to keep gameplay fresh.

Classic Towers are back and they are perfect if you want to get used to a particular character’s moves. Upon completing a tower with a selected character, a short cinematic clip plays at the end documenting what that character has done after being given Kronika’s powers after her defeat.

Like most other Mortal Kombat games, there are so many incredible characters to play with. Some of the fan-favorites include Scorpion, Sub Zero, Jade, Nightwolf , Kollector, and most recently Terminator.

The mix of old and new characters keeps things fresh. Their fatalities are also amazing and more brutal than ever before. All of this incredible combat action can be yours for the best price on the marketplace thanks to Amazon’s recent sale. It’s the fighting game to own in 2019.
