Mortal Kombat: Deception delivers the series' trademark over-the-top violence and expands its universe with a unique Konquest adventure mode. The combat is fast, brutal, and features the iconic Fatalities fans crave. Deception also introduces innovative features like stage traps and the combo breaker system. However, the Konquest mode sometimes feels unpolished, and some of the new characters lack the charisma of the classics. Still, Mortal Kombat: Deception is a solid entry that offers plenty of gory goodness for fans of the franchise.
MK Deception brings memories to me, it was the best MK out of the 3D era ones. Huge improvement from Deadly Alliance which was pretty bad.
That intro where Onaga is introduced as the new main Villain is awesome, Raiden joins forces with the Deadly Alliance but they still can't even get a scratch on Onaga, what a great way to present a new kharacter.
The Konquest mode is where its at in this game. It was such a great adventure, exploring all the realms (Netherrealm, Earthrealm, Edenia, Outworld, Chaos Realm and Order Realm) in third person while doing quests. A game within a game, truly something to remember. I remember some of the voice acting was so atrocious it was actually funny:))
And while Shujinko wasn't the best kharacter ever, it was still cool to see him go from a child to an old master on his search for the Kamidogu.
Its definitely a top 5-3 in the MK Series and i wish they bringed back the Konquest mode.

I think this one is very underrated. In general i think the gen 6 MK series is better than people give credit for. Particularly this one, you're spoiled for content, you have the core fighting game experience, namely arcade etc. But also included is a puzzle konbat mode which is lots of fun, a chess kombat mode which reminds me of unholy war on the ps1 or something similar. But the big one is the revamped konquest mode.
The konquest mode is now a full fledged game in of itself, basically a tutorial for playing every character blended with a open world adventure and story. I genuinely think this is the best feature of the game; as what you get out of it, is probably the most chilled out fighting game experience possible. It's honestly very zen, there's virtually no konsequences (hehe) to loss or failure, and you're free to roam around collecting currency for the vast unlockables, doing fun little quests and taking in the very calming atmosphere, never has hell itself been so chill.

Acá cambia la cosa.
Primero que todo, el modo Konquest es EXCELENTE, tiene que volver URGENTE.
Después el ambiente de los escenarios, el roster.. todo es mejor que al anterior
Here things change.
First of all, Konquest mode is EXCELLENT, it needs to come back URGENT.
Then the atmosphere of the stages, the roster... everything is better than the previous one

One of my favorite games ever is this fighting game that I never play for the fighting. No, I love Deception for its Konquest Mode that was so deep and involving that it should have been its own game. Sadly, I've never found another Mortal Kombat game Konquest Mode that lived up to the one on display in Deception. What a shame.
Hands down my favorite MK title. Its a bold choice, especially with how divisive the roster is, the 3D fight style, the cringeworthy dialogue, and a smaller crypt. Yet, it still manages to solidfy itself as the most content rich MK title with an endless barage of fun and deep diving that the Konquest mode allows. I'll be playing this again soon, but its without a doubt the best PS2 game and my personal pick for best MK
Honestly, this has all the same complaints I have for the prequel game, Deadly Alliance, however now it has much more content. I did like the adventure mode, and the Puzzle Kombat was pretty fun to play around with, but if the core fighting is still infuriating to play with I don't see a reason to come back to this. At the very least, I recommend this over the prequel if you do want to play one of these games, just due to the sheer amount of content it has over the last one.
