    Mortal Kombat

    Game » consists of 26 releases. Released Apr 19, 2011

    One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).

    How far up the Challenge Tower have you made it?

    I just got Mortal Kombat the other day and it is quite impressive.

    I have been thoroughly enjoying the Tower Challenge mode, and i think some of the challenges are ridiculously funny. Like number 58, that i have just completed. Throw your limbs at Kitana to defeat her. ^_^

    How high have you guys made it up the tower so far? Some challenges are quite difficult. (Maybe i just find fighting games one of my weaker sides of gaming.)
    I'm up to 59.
    I know there are about 300 or so i have heard. Anyone complete them all, and do they get much, much more difficult?
    Anyone been stuck on one for a while?

    I think I made it to 51 maybe? I've been playing other games so I forget.

    Well, I got to level 300, but I did skip a bunch of them, so I guess my progress is tainted.


    I did, however, complete the one that involved beating three Shao Kahns as Stryker without health refilling between rounds.

    Managed to complete all of them. Three Goros were probably the hardest.

    What are the ramifications of skipping? I haven't skipped any yet and I am around #60. Can you still get all the unlocks / achievements if you pay to skip ones?

    I'm not too sure myself, I was wondering that.

    If i had to make a guess, I would say that they would reward you with an achievement / trophy for completing all the challenges, but would still have to go back and complete ones you may have skipped when the time is right. I don't think skipping would affect one from getting achievement. I don't think they'd be that mean ^_^

    @Gnomicidal: no.  You can get the tower "reward" for skipping some - all you have to do for that one is "pass" #300, either legitimately, or by paying to skip it (50k Koins I think).  But the Tower Master one, you actually have to finish all 300 successfully.

    They get way more devious as you go up the ladder as well.  I'm stuck on 251 currently.  Baraka, Sindel, Shao Kahn with limited life regen between fights, as Shang Tsung.  I haven't skipped any yet though, so I don't want to start now.

    Also, the rumor is that if you attempt a challenge 15 times in a row (ie in one sitting), the challenge gets way easier on the 16th and beyond attempts.  I don't know that I've taken 15 tries on any yet though, so I can't vouch for that.

    Made it all the way. No skipping either.

    Personally I didn't find most of the ones with boss characters (even multiple boss characters) all that hard since you can just cheese them. The hardest ones were the ones where you have to play a character you don't like against multiple opponets. Especially ones with teleports.

    I beat the tower too but I did skip 6 of them. #251 being the main culprit. As a result I'm way better with Shang Tsung than I would be normally.

    But yeah, keep playing the tower. I found that it was way helpful in learning all the mechanics.

    I beat it, but got bored halfway and skipped almost everything. So I didn't really "beat it" at all.

    hah, so apparently, I beat 251 in my sleep last night... I finished it and didn't even remember when I posted above.  Now I'm on 257ish.  Raiden v Noob but he gets crazy buffs.

    I'm in the 250s or 260s, skipped two. ("Horse" and "Hell")


    I was terrified of reaching 251, but I surprisingly didn't have too much trouble. Just stayed back and spammed fireballs.

    The one where you're Ermac? Jump Teleport and repeat, just be sure to keep your distance, sometimes they'll get smart and grab you as you teleport on other side though, but it'll work lol

    I'm back on 0...hurray for starting over for the third time...decided i wanted a new psn account. lol

    I got to around 200, got stuck on one, and then just bought my way to the top. I've gone back and done a few select ones, namely the all the "test your ___",s but other than that, I'm not sure how much more I want to do. I think I might have had enough of trying to exploit the enemy AI.

    I skipped about 13 or 15 challanges. Because the reward, which you get anyway if you skip room 300, is not worth it.

    I'm at 299.  I only skipped one trial, which was fighting Baraka, Sindel, then Shao Khan as Shang Tsung.

    The trial I had the most difficulty with (besides the one I skipped) was 269.  All I can say about that one is "blam, blam"

    I just hate the challenges and playing characters I don't like, so I skip as many as I can then go back when I run out of koins.
    I'm more than halfway up, around 170-180 I think.

    i finished all 300 pretty quick. the only one that gave me real problems was stryker vs 3 shao khans untill i realized how easy it was to cheat it. 300th was actually pretty easy since i had a month to practice with scorpion playing the demo before the game came out
