Mortal Kombat (mobile game)

Mortal Kombat X (Mobile game) is a tie-in mobile game for Mortal Kombat X. It was released April 7, 2015 on iOS devices and later released for Android devices on May 5, 2015. Cross-connectivity will also be expanded upon featuring rewards and content that can be unlocked for both mobile and console version in cross-play.

Gameplay
Mortal Kombat X grants the player the ability to assemble a team of fighters in 3 V 3 Combat mode and upgrade their team by gaining experience, teaching them new special attacks, and improving their capabilities with artifacts. The game incorporates the roster of the console version along with exclusive characters that are playable only in the mobile version. X-Rays and Fatalities have also made a return to the game but with a twist. Fatalities done in the game must be accompanied by an interactable prompt to perform them.

A new standalone featured introduced in the mobile game is option to set one of your characters as your champion. Doing this will allow other players to call your champion into battle to aid them. To progress your character, you must participate in the offline Battle Mode of the game and defeat bosses. You can also progress your character by taking part of Faction Wars, the equivalent of online mode. There are 3 different tiers of characters: bronze, silver, and gold, with different variations for each character to collect. You can buy souls and koins with each being given out during gameplay through the towers or daily bonus missions. To obtain gold characters, you must either get them through Kombat Packs or by buying them separately.

Special Attacks
Special attacks are performed by building up an energy bar through attacking or receiving damage.

Factions
Factions return with competitive weekly challenges that give players rewards, including costumes that can be carried over to the console version of the game if you have your WBPlay linked to your account. The online competitive mode Faction Wars returns from the consoles and allows players to challenge others in a fight with their teams.

Cross-Platform Unlocks
As mentioned above, Mortal Kombat X features cross-platform unlocks. By playing the mobile game and completing certain challenges, you can unlock content for the console version of the game. You can also unlock content for the mobile version by completing challenges on the console version. Some of the rewards include character skins, koins, Kombat Kard items, and more. These unlocks can only be obtained through cross-platform unlocking. Below is a complete list of all cross-platform unlockables:

XP Levels
Each card when newly obtained starts at XP level 1. XP is earned by playing Battle Mode or Faction Wars and this is used to level up a card to make it stronger in battle. The higher the XP level, the better the character's stats and the highest XP level a card can reach is XP level 50. The below table shows the XP needed to level up a card for each level for each tier. You can also use level up cards to move up a level but its advisable to use them only at later levels due to the larger amounts of XP needed to level up your character cards.
