You'll also be able to take hold of enemies and use them as shields or beat them mercilessly, in some cases. The fighting has been further tweaked to let you take your combos in to the air, juggling enemies and then smashing them back down to the ground.

You'll be able to essentially pull off "unlimited combos," in the words of series creator Ed Boon, by changing attack direction and chaining moves between enemies. The fighting system will be similar to what we've seen in past Mortal Kombat fighters, though it will be tweaked so you can attack multiple enemies simultaneously, though without becoming overwhelmed. Shaolin Monks will also feature two-player cooperative play that will feature both characters. Fortunately, they'll be aided by some of the most powerful fighters on the side of good, such as Johnny Cage and Raiden.Īccording to the presentation, the game itself looks to be a fairly standard scrolling beat-'em-up that will have you playing as either Liu Kang or Kung Lao in the single-player game, though whether you'll be able to choose characters or merely be assigned one based on the level you're playing wasn't mentioned. You'll play as that game's two monks, Liu Kang and Kung Lao, as they're sucked into Outworld and forced to battle against Shao Kahn's most vicious minions. We discovered today from a lengthy computer-generated trailer, and also during the verbal presentation, that Shaolin Monks will, in fact, be set during the MKII time period and within its storyline as well. We've noticed from previous screenshots that Shaolin Monks contains a surprising number of backgrounds from Mortal Kombat II, the famous second (and in many fans' opinions, best) installment in the MK series. If Paradox can nail the feel of the core fighting, the game looks to have plenty of nostalgic appeal for fans of the long-running fighting franchise. That is, until today, when Midway gave out a lot of new details on the story, setting, and gameplay of Shaolin Monks. In development at Paradox, the game's particulars have been shrouded in secrecy since its announcement.
LAS VEGAS-Today at Midway's winter 2005 press event, the company showed off a substantive noninteractive demo of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, the upcoming action adventure set in the grisly fighting game universe.
