Raiden must now assemble Liu Kang and the other Earthrealm warriors in order to stop Shinnok and his minions before this war end up destroying the Earth AND the Heavens! He has already conquered Edenia, and is now planning to wage war against the Elder Gods for banishing him. The evil and fallen Elder God Shinnok has escaped from the pits of the hellish Netherrealm, thanks to his loyal servant, the sorceror Quan Chi, and an Edenian traitor known as Tanya.

Shao Kahn has been defeated! Earthrealm is saved, and Princess Kitana's homeworld of Edenia has been restored! Now Liu Kang, Raiden, and the other Earthrealm Warriors can finally live happily ever after.

Other than that, the GOG version is flawless.You can get full disc images of Mortal Kombat 4 from our ISO Cellar. “In the original PC version of MK4, when the game started, there was the option menu displaying a picture of Scorpion in the living forest and you could hear the laugh of the announcer,” noted user review Cifer84.

Mortal Kombat 4‘s newly-released PC port does have controller support, if you were curious. The graphics are endearingly crude, and seeing “new and classic fatalities take on a completely different meaning in three dimensions” is a sight to behold in 2020. If nothing else, I need you to see this screenshot. We’ve gotten to revisit Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3 countless times over the years, and they’re not going anywhere, but I couldn’t tell you the last time I thought about, much less played, Mortal Kombat 4. Earlier today, GOG released a DRM-free PC version for a fair $5.99. Either way, it’s nice to see the fast-paced fighter return on PC. Maybe you have a soft spot for Mortal Kombat 4, maybe you don’t. Mortal Kombat 4 falls somewhere in the middle for me. And some games simply don’t stand the test of time, even if you were there at the beginning and have unshakable memories and nostalgia surrounding them. Others have technical or design quirks that aren’t so easily overlooked now. Some video games are eternal classics – just as fun today as they were decades ago.
