It’s fun so far! Some reviews of the switch version have been a bit harsh, but I’ve been enjoying it.

If this were on pc, Xbox, or Ps5 it would be better. I myself prefer a portable game thus I bought an inferior copy. The story is the same, just once in awhile the game freezes for a few seconds and starts back up.

Positives
-I terms of raw gameplay the game is great, feels more fluid than Mortal Kombat 11 but not quite as fast as Mortal Kombat X or 9.
-The kameo system so far is interesting and I look forward to testing out how each kameo compliments the main roster, and how good of a replacement it is for the variations system from 11 and X.
-The story itself while following up on MK11, does some nice set up for the new status quo and has some good character moments here and there, with arcade endings acting as good epilogues. It probably has some of the best arcade endings in the series.
Downsides
-Very mixed performance on the switch, one way of alleviating this is to turn off replay sharing. There can also be instances where the game gets stuck just loading, it’s happened twice so far during arcade runs.
-Single player content is also very limited, the invasions mode is incomplete in this port so after story and arcade the only other thing to do is play online.
-Online play is very unstable and disconnecting during a match will happen. Since online is also your main way of gaining xp for cosmetic unlocks, it should be noted it is very much a grind that will take a lot of time especially if you’re not winning consistently.
-This game is mostly absent from the cartridge, around 6 gb is on it with about a 30 gb download being required
So, on a pure gameplay basis I can recommend this game, but probably not at this price point given the technical issues and lack of stuff to do.

Game on the switch is very glitchy and a lot of delays
Talim –
Game is unplayable and currently waiting for a patch.

The Switch version of the ge got no love. Very buggy, crashes and graphics are huge downscale and the the game still barely runs. Very sad port. I really hope it gets some love and updates in the near future. Not a very long game either and im not even going to bother trying to play online. I also hate that the whole game even solo needs an internet connection… very gimmicky and super poor delivery

I bought this for my oldest niece birthday. She absolutely loves it and said I should get it for my console. Other then that I can’t fib because I’ve only seen videos and have yet to play the game. Looks amazing I would buy and recommend from what I’ve seen.

Needs upgrades but honestly not as bad as internet reviews. It’s playable and enjoyable as it is, definitely some upgrades are needed and will be done in a near future.
JulianB –
Very fun if you like fighting games, and story is interesting imo
JoshuaM –
Some technical issues in lower resolution graphics and long loading times, but mostly expected on Switch vs PS5. Gameplay is very fun, and like the past few MK games, includes a great story mode.
Dryer –
This game had so much potential but the amount of glitches on the switch make this game so frustrating to play and I wish I could just get my money back. I will say that the story line is pretty fun and interesting, but when it transitions to game play, it has a great concept, but it does not seem to be ready for true game play on the switch.
BenR –
Awesome game. Graphics on the switch are to be desired and it lags a little. Think its too much of a game for the switch to handle. But its a great game.
Trina –
Great game! it was a gift for someone and he enjoys it.
JohnP –
Very poor graphics. The graphic look unfinished. Mortal Combat 11 has better graphics. It also is glitchy. It.freezes at time as well. It is playable but it isn’t as polished as the previous version for the switch. For the cost I would buy another game.
MichaelF –
Don’t waste your money. It runs and plays horrible.
Taliayah19 –
A really good game I really like playing the story mode
AdalisR –

Great Game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DarrellB –
I could not wait to get this game in the mail and when I did I was so excited. I play at non-stop because it’s one of my favorite games of all time
MasterVinh –
Do not buy. You will not be able to undo the utter disappointment
Washer –
I love the game and I enjoy playing it with my family
DavidR –
The quality of the Switch version of this game is horrendous and almost unplayable. It also requires a 27gb update patch in order to play. Avoid and purchase the PS5 or Xbox version instead.
BrianR –
Great and fun game. Delivery was faster than expected
Antony –
Great game! I enjoyed the story mode. My favorite choice is Liu Kang.
Administrator –
Returned. Fortunately before gifting this for Christmas I looked up gameplay. It has graphics from the PC version in the 90s. Loading screens are up to 90 seconds between matches.
Returned. Not worth a single cent. Get it on another platform.

Love love love. Glad I can play Mortal Kombat not just At home.
Pikka –
Kids love this game. Keeps them busy and can be played with multiple players
WayneO –
About what you’d expect from an MK game. Looks horrible on the switch but my son wanted portability.
Lavy –
Pretty fun game, although the gameplay graphics are not the best… it also tends to crash in story mode and invasions mode. Also it’s more internet orientated, as you’ll need to be online to do almost anything. But I love the MK series and the story writing is immaculate and intriguing. It was also be helpful to mention that I’m playing on a older switch lite.
DaddyV418 –
I love this game, minus the wait time pre fight. Player selection is awesome, game graphics stunning, game play pretty dope. Try it for yourself, don’t take my word.
Cambo –
Getting better with updates, but the graphics and number of playable characters when it was released were disappointing
glen –
Item is terrible doesn’t work correct. Would not refund me money boy gave me a replacement which I’ll have to sell on eBay to possible get my money back.

Fun and exciting for both adults and children alike.

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet because I need more space on my SD Card. However, previous versions of this are fun so I would imagine this is just as good.
AndrewB –
Great game and quality. The graphics are out of this world
Hyperbeetle –
This game is freaking awesome! A must buy, graphics could be better.
