The fighting game version of Mortal Kombat 4, which first launched on physical media for PC and home game consoles in June 1998, is now in the GOG store for $5,99 (in Russia — 159 ₽).
It was the first game in a series of well-known fighting games to use 3D graphics—PC 3D accelerators like those from XNUMXdfx could exhibit hardware anti-aliasing and other effects. For the first time, fighters got the opportunity to get their melee weapons, use them against opponents and throw them (the enemy could then use such an object). It was also possible to throw objects scattered around the arena and shift in space, dodging attacks.
According to the story, after the defeat of Shao Kahn and the failure of the invasion of Earthrealm, Shinnok and his army take over other worlds. With the help of a traitor from Edenia, Tanya, they managed to infiltrate Edenia. Shinnok then sends his Army of Darkness to Heaven to destroy the Elder Gods. Raiden and Fujin managed to escape and escape to Earth, where they gathered Earth's best warriors to fight Shinnok and his allies.
Mortal Kombat 4 could also offer cheats and other hidden features; and classical executions for the first time acquired completely new perspectives thanks to three dimensions. In general, those players who remember the nineties will certainly be pleased to indulge in nostalgia, and the rest of the fighting game will be interesting in order to get acquainted with the history of the famous series.
No DRM protection, requires Windows 7/8/10, DirectX 7 class graphics accelerator (DirectX 9 recommended), 512 MB RAM, and 2 GB free hard drive space. Oddly enough, it is stated that integrated graphics are not supported. The fighting game is only available in English.
