Mortal Kombat 11 is the hottest fighting game around. It’s part of a series recognized for over the top violence. Mortal Kombat‘s most famous phrase, Finish Him!” has paved the way for new ways to defeat an opponent. Since the series launch date in 1992, the games have become more realistic. The game series even inspired movies, including one slated to release in 2021.
Fighting games are abundant; whether they are 2D, 3D, or 2.5 D. With many games taking after the Mortal Kombat series, some are more similar to Mortal Kombat than others. The following games were ranked based on their overall enjoyability and similarity to Mortal Kombat 11. Only a Mortal Kombat legend has played all these games!
10 Killer Instinct
One of the earliest fighting games series had a release on the Xbox One in 2013. The new Killer Instinct has a retro ’90s feel with intuitive fighting combos. This game came with at least one free fighter, which acted as a pathway into purchasing the full game.
The classic fighting game Killer Instinct has fast-paced action and memorable characters. The series initially was a part of Super Nintendo but later became a part of the Xbox One. It was developed by Double Helix Games and published by Microsoft Studios. This hidden Xbox One gem is a must-play!
9 Dragon Ball FighterZ
Dragon Ball FighterZ is possibly the greatest fighting game in franchise history. The game contains advanced and beginner controls, so it appeals to virtually anyone.
It’s a blend of 2D and 3D, which is often referred to as a 2.5D game. The robust fighter roster is one of the game’s biggest selling points. With DLC, there are over 40 characters! One can play as lesser-known characters, but it also contains classic characters like Goku, Piccolo, Broly, Vegeta, Cell, and Teen Gohan.
8 The King Of Fighters XIII
The King Of Fighters XIII is arguably the best game in the series. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new game from The King of Fighters game series, but a new The King of Fighters, The King of Fighters XV, is slated to release sometime in 2021. It’s been long enough as players are eagerly waiting for a sequel. SNK is developing the game, and they revealed six of King of Fighters XV’s characters. The game shows promise, and if it’s along the lines of The King Of Fighters XIII, it’s going to be a massive hit in the fighting game community.
7 Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
This mash-up fighting game contains characters from Marvel and Capcom. Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3’s diverse roster is reminiscent of Mortal Kombat 11. Each game has approximately the same number of characters, including the DLC fighters. You’ll see Marvel characters like Iron Man, Hulk, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, and Wolverine on the Marvel side. On the Capcom side, there are prominent characters like Albert Wesker, Chris Redfield, and Nemesis-T Type.
6 Soulcalibur VI
Bandai Namco is one of the other major developers in the biz of making fighting games. The series has been renowned since its heyday back at Soul Calibur II. It is recognized for featuring famous video game characters on its cover. This time around, Soul Calibur VI has a roster consisting of names like Geralt of Rivia but mainly features classic Soul Calibur characters. You can’t go wrong playing a Soul Calibur game, even if this addition’s roster needs more famous video game characters.
5 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
It might not be your conventional 2D fighting game, yet Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a masterclass crossover fighting game. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the culmination of every Super Smash Bros. release. Nintendo has raised the bar with more stages and characters than ever before. Like Mortal Kombat 11, players have to memorize buttons to attack with efficacy. It’s probably the least like Mortal Kombat 11 on this listicle, yet Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of the first games to play.
4 Injustice 2
Injustice 2 is the sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us, and it is assuredly a step-up from its predecessor. From an esports competitive perspective, Injustice 2 isn’t the first choice. The appeal of lengthy cutscenes in the middle of fights soon wears off. Also, random loot and microtransactions get in the way of a genuinely fun experience.
Injustice 2 is excellent as a single-player game that lets you play as your favorite DC Universe characters. However, for players looking to play more than casually, Injustice 2 might not be for you.
3 Mortal Kombat X
If you’ve played Mortal Kombat 11 endlessly like many of us, it’s worthwhile to go back to the previous Mortal Kombat. It contains characters like Jason Voorhees, Sub-Zero, Alien, and Johnny Cage first. It already includes a robust roster, and it provides a unique experience.
It’s easier to get away with button mashing in Mortal Kombat X. Strategic combos are more a part of Mortal Kombat 11. The graphics of both games are polished, so you really can’t go wrong with either.
2 Street Fighter V
Despite being a game that exclusively released for the PlayStation 4, Street Fighter V remains one of the leading esports fighting games. The Street Fighter franchise’s first game came out in the ’80s as an arcade game. Characters like Ryu, M. Bison, and Akuma still appeal to modern-day gamers. The button combinations are near-flawless, which is why Mortal Kombat 11 players will appreciate this 2D fighting game.
1 Tekken 7
When it comes to competitive esports fighting games, Tekken 7 is the ideal game to play. Putting aside that it’s a multiplatform game, unlike Street Fighter V, Tekken 7 has fewer exploits than its competitors.
This long-established fighting franchise has wowed its fans with a progressive game. Looking back, Tekken was seldom taken seriously as an esports title. Today, all doubt has gone out of the window that Tekken 7 is a competitive game.
