Fun fact: The reason the game was renamed in France is because deception literally means disappointment in french.

Thank you, I love talking about narrative, characters and gameplay/mechanics, so I’m really glad it’s enjoyable to watch 🙂

Definitely one of the greatest and most entertaining MK games. Amazing Konquest mode. Great fatalities, music, arenas, stage transitions, death traps, mini games Chess and Puzzle kombats and Hara Kiris. Mileena, Jade and Tanya had the greatest costumes in Deception. This game introduced three unique, yet so criminally underrated characters: Ashrah, Havik and Hotaru.

[@IMChessMD]

Any games come close to this--especially like the konquest mode? I am rediscovering my gaming interest through this nostalgic game

[@omarslayz]

I miss konquest mode from deception. It felt like it really helped flesh out the world. I appreciate all the work that goes into their story modes now but the exploration and the fact that they basically gave us several games in one really made this feel special.

[@DonYoGi8331]

With SF6 having a whole World Tour single-player mode filled with side missions, lore characters, and mini games there's no excuse for MK1 not to have just as much kontent if not more. It will be 100gb to download at launch after all so a konquest mode or somethin similar to a Shaolin Monks 2 has to take up most of that space.

This game took the deadly alliance formula and perfected it. 2 fatalities for each character, returning classic characters, Onaga as the villain, konquest mode has the gamer traverse through out each realm. Time jumps in Konquest mode led to gold treasure chests that unlocked new characters and alternative customes. Also the select character music is a banger

[@slothbro2740]

I really do not see why people dislike this game and Shujinko so much. this game and the Konquest mode were amazing Shujinko is a great character and fun to play as imo.

[@Unchainedful]

It was just that he was a clone of Shinnok, who is literally a copy of all character moves. Shujinko personality was pretty much just that he was betrayed, and that was it. His story was pointless since MK Armageddon made Shujinko’s Deception story non-canon since he was captured in Outworld before fighting Onaga, forcing Scorpion to fight Onaga and defeat Onaga alone.

[@DonCritic]

@Unchainedful Armageddon makes no retcon to Shujinko’s victory over Onaga in Deception. In both of the characters bio’s for Armageddon, it states that Shujinko defeated Onaga by shattering the six Kamidogu, rendering Onaga vulnerable and Nightwolf ensnared his soul. Only later in the Netherrealm did Shinnok then find Onaga’s soul and revive him, offering him an alliance for the forthcoming Armageddon. Shujinko, after defeating Onaga, was tricked by Mileena into going to Outworld, who he thought was Kitana, and she imprisoned him in the dungeons. There’s no mention of Scorpion.

[@yodudeyo100]

Shujinko is my broski and I really hope we get to play as him again! And get another Konquest mode!

[@codyman5540]

@@Unchainedful I wouldn't say a copy of Shinnok, but at the time, not well-received as a poor man's version of Liu Kang's role did the fusion dance with Shang Tsung's shapeshifting ability. Which sounds crazy now that you realize their hatred for each other, but I wish NRS rewatches Kill Bill someday & says "Let's build up Shujinko like this with one of our Kombat characters" 😅

[@jermaine8573]

MK-Deception is easily one of the best Mortal Kombat games in general cause of how unique it is entertaining wise aside from MK-Trilogy

[@DonYoGi8331]

Seems NRS or Ed Boon I should say remembered how successful this game was because seems like MK1 is takin alot of ideas from this game which is good.

[@zanfear]

@@DonYoGi8331 "A lot of ideas" huh? Which ideas did they take?

[@dannyleo5787]

When it came to mk deceptions overall, favorite 3D era when I was just fifteen years old. After deadly alliance I had to know how it concluded… I was not disappointed and I was terrified when Onaga just walked right in. That feeling of “ oh my god… who can even slay this guy if not these guys?!! “ this was pure desperation and they fn nailed it. Jon quest mode was just joy for it answered many questions for me, but for me if I had just admit enjoying new characters it have to be Havok cause of how he just gives off a unsettling feeling that he will just do what he damn well anything he wants. Armageddon sadly disappointed me. I felt nothing for that conclusion, and worse off it was also midways last chance before bankruptcy.

[@Syweezy2012]

Can you imagine the sound of the souls leaving the temple when it was destroyed?? Deadly alliance had a creepy sound effect with the souls flying in the temple

[@yodudeyo100]

Shang Tsung probably sleeps somewhere in that temple with the soul chamber. Do you think it would be so loud that it would be hard to fall asleep?

[@187btokes]

Konquest was just insane. I wish they would go back go an semi open world style like this again

[@ByMixedApe]

my absolute favorite thing about Deception was Konquest mode. We would always hear and have art for the Realms but I couldn't IMAGINE it. Even in Shaolin Monk it's hard to know for certain what it is like to be inside these realms. Although, with Konquest mode, it gave me EVERYTHING I wanted when it came to questions I had about each realm from civilians, where each main character lived, the atmosphere, etc… AND THE SIDE QUESTS!!!! i could rave about it forever !!

[@ragnar930]

Favourite mortal kombat of all time

[@CargoShorts7]

Mannn I remember that intro cutscene being one of the coolest things I had ever seen as a kid, especially coming from the sprites of MK3. Would love to see MK return to the semi-open world Konquest mode along with the Krypt, chess and other fun modes. Deception had so much content (kontent?) and while I may be blinded by nostalgia some, I remember so much of that content being great! I remember running around punching random people in Konquet mode and just getting completely lost in the world and lore, ah good times

[@misterkeys2893]

I love Deception so much. My teenhood was just playing Deception and watching the "MK Conquest" over and over again for what felt like a decade. I remember in MKX and 11 the characters kept making such a big deal about Shinnoks amulet and I was like "SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS!?" Up until that point it had just been "that random thing Quan Chi had on his belt in the Deception Intro Cinamatic." I also never knew any other MK fans and so this intro cinamatic was something that was exclusive to me and my little love of the game, so to read this comment section and see so many others who loved it is a little bit of a gift to my past self. Wow, what an era.

[@ivel17]

I've had so much fun playing Konquest when I was 10 years old, even though I didn't understand English at all (It's not my native language) I just liked running around and exploring the world. Btw, the character design here is amazing, especially Kitana's, Mileena's, and Ermac's outfits, these are better than their outfits from recent MKs in my opinion.

[@amornoro2076]

I feel like mk’s story has lost its charm that DA or deception had. The ambiences, the boldness etc. Killing off those main characters were so good adding to tension to the story. After Armageddon mk has become more comical and inconsistent level of powers between the characters. Also the ambience, it was more darker and had medieval settings in DA and deception.

[@acidgolem2132]

To be fair some of the 3Ds era costume did make a return for example : mileena second costume from mk9 is a reference to her primary costume in this game, Quan chi mk9 look is literally just his 3d era costume and we can't forget the mk deception sub zero returning in mk 11

[@DonYoGi8331]

Did anyone else feel like the MK:DA, MKD, and MKA mirrored the release of MK1, MK2, and UMK3/MKT respectively by almost 10 years? It was like the next octave of the same idea in the next dimension of gaming, if that makes sense. MKDA felt like MK1 all over again; it revived the series and lore and aesthetic, etc. MK Deception fixed and rounded out the gameplay and added even more to what the first one built; it felt like the peak of this generation of games, as did MK2. MKA was like our Trilogy; it had everything and had a ton of compromise because of it lol. Just my thoughts! AWESOME content!

[@DonCritic]

Haha good times 😄

[@NoName-cz3wn]

I think its a shame that the Trilogy is often thought of as MKDA-MKD-MKA, simply because of the gameplay style. The actual storyline begins with MK4 and concludes with MKD. MKA is just Trilogy 2, and I consider that story to be like a bonus chapter. If they eventually do an HD port, or a full-fledged remake, I really hope that MK4 is included. Otherwise, the entire impotus for MKDA will be lost on newer fans, and MKA is irrelevant to the Dragon King Trilogy. Sidebar: if they DID make that brand new game, I hope that when they get to the Armageddon portion of the story, the characters whove died up to that point don't just magically come back. They had to do that in MKA, because it was a standalone game, but you could absolutely keep the parts with characters like Sektor and Daegon, while cutting the parts that had characters like Onaga, Quan Chi, and Shujinko, who were canonically dead when Deception concluded.

[@Unchainedful]

You got it backwards. Armageddon played a HUGE role in the mortal Kombat universe, and played a pivotal plot in the brand new timeline and reboot of the entire MK franchise. Mortal Kombat Deception, though I love the game, didn’t play too much of a role after Armageddon. Onaga was defeated by Scorpion but wasn’t killed, so he healed his wounds later in Armageddon, making the entire story of Deception pointless. You can literally skip Deception and the story wouldn’t have changed. As for the trilogy thing, it goes like this: Mortal Kombat 1-4 are known as the arcade era, Mortal Kombat DA-Arm are known as 3D Era, Mortal Kombat 9-1 are known as the Netherealm Era.

Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon are the best trilogy in the entire series.
