Story
The story of how the heroes and villains of Mortal Kombat and the DC
universe could find themselves not only existing on the same plain, but battling
each other revolves around coincidental victories in the respective realms by
Raiden and Superman. In Raiden's case it was a victory over Shao Kahn, while
Superman bested Darkseid. These occurred at the exact same time and involved
inter-dimensional elements, which somehow merged their two enemies into one
being, Dark Kahn, while allowing the characters of the two universes to
interact. In this merging the powers of the heroes and villains are scrambled as
well, making some stronger than they ever were, and leaving others vulnerable
for the first time in their lives, allowing each to battle on more or less equal
footing. And battle they do without realizing that the uncontrollable rage that
they feel for each other is actually the work of Dark Khan.
Gameplay
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe being a fighter, gameplay consists of
one-on-one battles, both in local play and online, in which players can choose a
character from either side who will face off against a counterpart from the
other. Each character has unique attacks and special finishing moves, and
fighting arenas vary depending on whether your character comes from the
Mortal Kombat or DC universe. Keeping with the reputation for brutality in
the Mortal Kombat franchise, characters from this side will have access
to fatalities, while the historically less overly violent DC Comics characters
will execute "heroic brutalities," which are end moves where the opponent while
beaten, is not killed. The game also features new gameplay mechanics such as:
Freefall Kombat, in which players can engage in extended combat while in midair;
Klose Kombat, during which the play angle moves to a close-up view of the
action; The "Test Your Might" mini-game where you smash your opponent through
walls; and Rage Mode, which increases the power of a character's attack by 50%
and provides protection against being stunned by an opponent.
