It follows the tradition of its predecessors by bringing new gameplay mechanics, characters, and secrets into the fold. What happens next? Well, MORTAL KOMBAT!!Īlthough many hardcore MK fans were disappointed by new faces replacing well-known favorites, and the absence of the palette-swapped ninjas, MK 3 was still a great game. So what does Kahn do? He sends HIS champions to kill the warriors.

But there are souls that he CAN'T take: the souls of the warriors whom Raiden (a rebel frowned upon by the Gods, BTW) chose to stand against Kahn's rule.

Uh-oh! The Elder Gods can only watch as Kahn steals the soul of every human being and merges Earth with the Outworld. Talk about a sore loser! Shao Kahn was so frustrated after suffering defeat in MKII, that he revived his 10,000-year-old plan of resurrecting his queen Sindel, but NOT on Outworld. Mortal Kombat 3 is the last traditional one-on-one fighting game game in the series to feature motion-captured digitized graphics for its kombatants, and introduces online network play to the PC version. Also included are more stage fatalities and finishing moves as each warrior attempts to go one-on-one with the Centaurian enforcer Motaro, and Shao Kahn himself. Mortal Kombat 3 brings new elements to the 2D fighting series: multi-level playfields, 'Dial-A-Combo' attacks, a 'Run' button to speed up the battles, and 'Vs.' codes, which unlock new powers and abilities once both players enter a code sequence in pre-match-up screens. Facing the warriors are the mercenary Kano, cyber-ninjas Smoke, Sektor and Cyrax, Sheeva, a female Shokan, the sorcerer Shang Tsung, and Queen Sindel herself. Once enacted, the dimensional bridge between the two realms connects, allowing Kahn's extermination squads to invade and destroy Earth, and enslave the population's souls.A small team of Raiden's 'Chosen Warriors' survives the attack: Mortal Kombat champion Liu Kang and his ally Kung Lao, Special Forces agents Sonya Blade and Jax, the shaman Nightwolf, the riot cop Stryker, the nomadic Kabal, and former Lin Kuei warrior Sub-Zero, who has gone rogue from his clan. In order to revive his Queen Sindel, the emperor Shao Kahn used the Outworld Tournament from Mortal Kombat 2 as a diversion while his Shadow Priests revive his fallen Queen on Earth.
