Mortal Kombat 1 has a playable Ermak, and players note the death of the fighting game

Today the brutal fighting game Mortal Kombat 1 is receiving another update. The patch brings some changes to the overall balance, fixes bugs and most importantly adds a new playable character. Ermak was added to the game, who first officially debuted in the series in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Now he is available in Mortal Kombat 1 as a DLC character.

In honor of the addition of Ermak to the fighting game, the developers have published fresh gameplay. You can see a demonstration of the gameplay for the character above. Some fans have already praised the developers for implementing the techniques of this unique fighter, who has telekinetic abilities. Other fans were disappointed that teleportation, which added mobility to the character, disappeared from his arsenal of techniques.

There are also a significant number of users on social networks and forums who believe that it is time to officially “bury” him. Mortal Kombat 1. Players who hold this opinion note the extremely low online community for the game on Steam. On average, a game on PC attracts about 1 thousand players, which is very small for a project with regular updates and in comparison with competitors in the fighting game genre. Users also note that since the release, the developers have not been able to fix serious problems with the network component and reduce the impact of microtransactions. Because of this, fans see no point in following the game anymore. In their opinion, Mortal Kombat needs another restart, otherwise the series risks being buried by the developers themselves.
