In the sea of fighting games, the Mortal Kombat franchise stands out with its brutal and uncompromising style. Its finishing moves, a.k.a. fatalities, are flashy, visceral, and even outright sickening.
Mortal Kombat X/XL features some of the best (or worst) fatalities in the series. Being so stylistically sound and amplified by the incredible graphical fidelity, they’re a gruesome sight to behold. They are also numerous, and learning them all by heart is quite the undertaking.
Fatalities are a Mortal Kombat staple and the franchise wouldn’t be the same without them. And no matter the situation, having a clean list of all Mortal Kombat X/XL fatalities is sure to help you brutalize players more frequently.
