Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Released1997
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is a story-driven fighting game that casts you in the shoes of Sub-Zero, and chronicles a series of events that occurred prior to Mortal Kombat 1. It is the first Mortal Kombat game to feature side-scrolling gameplay. Gameplay wise the game takes the Mortal Kombat familiar 2D fighting environment and turns it into a hybrid fighter/platformer game, where you must travel trough hazardous levels running and jumping around as well as fighting your way against both digitized and polygonal enemies. Sub-Zero's interface is the same as in every MK game, with the addition of a "use" and "turn around" buttons and additions such as an inventory, and a slight RPG twist in which you get exp. for defeating opponents, which translates into new techniques and moves to execute in the game.

About This Game

In a storyline reminiscent of Looking Glass's Thief, the Lin Kuei assassin and thief Sub-Zero is sent to steal an important document — a mission that turns out to be a test set by a mysterious figure (later revealed to be MK4's Quan Chi), who then charges him with recovering an ancient medallion of untold power. But once Sub-Zero retrieves it, Quan Chi reveals the deception: the medallion is the key to awakening the demonic Shinnok, the same villain from MK4. Now a reluctant hero, Sub-Zero must pursue Quan Chi through hell itself, hoping to reach Shinnok before he does.
