MK4 added a 'Maximum Damage' cap to the game's combo system, automatically breaking combos if they deal over a set amount of damage to a player and, thus, preventing infinite combos (although this cap can be removed with a code). If an opponent's weapon is dropped, the other character is able to pick it up and use it. The weapons can also be purposely dropped, in similar fashion to arena objects such as severed heads and rocks, another addition to the series. This includes swinging, clubbing or even tossing the weapons. Once equipped, the weapons are primarily used through the punch buttons. MK4 introduces a limited weapon system, allowing each character to take out a special weapon using a set button combination. Mortal Kombat 4 is played in a similar way to the previous titles from the series the run button and combos are still used, and despite the 3D graphics, characters are restricted to a 2D path except of sidestepping. Since its release, the game received generally positive response from critics, with the exception of the Game Boy Color port.Ī screenshot from the game showing the newly implemented weapon system in a fight between Quan Chi and Reptile Co-creator Ed Boon stated that the staff wanted to make Mortal Kombat 4 more violent than its predecessors, removing the comical finishing moves featured in them. While developing the game, the Midway staff had problems rendering the graphics as it was one of the first 3D fighting games they developed. The other 17 playable characters take part in the battle between good and evil, with the forces of light trying to stop Shinnok and the forces of darkness from conquering all the realms. The storyline chronicles the attack from the corrupted Elder God Shinnok against his former comrades who trapped him in the Netherealm millennia prior to the beginning of the series. The gameplay system in Mortal Kombat 4 is similar to that of the previous games one of the most notable additions is the use of weapons and objects during fights. It was later ported to the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, PC, and Game Boy Color the following year, as well as an updated version titled Mortal Kombat Gold released exclusively for the Dreamcast.

It is also the last game of the series to have an arcade release. Released to arcades in 1997, Mortal Kombat 4 is the first title from the series, and one of the first made by Midway overall, to use 3D computer graphics.

Mortal Kombat 4 is a 1997 fighting game and the fourth main installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise and a sequel to 1995's Mortal Kombat 3.
