## Gameplay and Features

Principal gameplay involves one-on-one 3D style fighting. *Mortal Kombat* uses a single two-dimensional fighting plane (at 60 frames per second), although characters are rendered in three-dimensional fashion, intended to give depth and range to portrayals of various projectiles.Through the 2000s, the developer by NetherRealm Studios would keep their single styled fighting moves with four attack buttons for a different array of punches and kicks and blocks.

A defining and best-known feature of the series is its finishing move system called Fatality. An original idea behind it was to give gamers a free hit at the end of the fight. The basic Fatalities are finishing moves that allow the victorious characters to end a match in a special way by murdering their defeated, defenseless opponents in a gruesome manner, usually in the predefined ways exclusive for the given character.

As Utlimate Mortal Kombat arrived for the new version of original game, new improved graphics and upgrade your weapons and more, included Konquest, used RPG at adventure above for Mortal Kombat series.

## Plot
