Mortal Kombat 1: Every Invasion Mode Season, Ranked

Summary

Mortal Kombat 1 introduced the innovative Invasion Mode, where players progress through a board game-style RPG to upgrade fighters and earn rewards.
Some seasons felt repetitive, lacking content improvements, and failed to inspire due to unimpressive skins.
Others really shone and added a welcome new feature to the game.

While 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mortal Kombat is famous primarily as a fighting game franchise, several of its games have offered game modes other than Multiplayer or Story Mode. Examples ✱of these are Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest Mode, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's Motor Kombat (which was a Mario Kart-like racing game), and Mortal Kombat 11's The Kr🌊ypt.

2023's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mortal Kombat 1 introdu🎀ced a new, very different game mode: Invasion Mode. This is a board game-style RPG where players progress through the Mesas to upgrade their fighters while earning currency, skins, concept art, brutalities, and fatalities, among other rewards. With the release of Invasion's eighth (and possibly final) Season, here's a ranking of each of Invasion Mode's Seasons.

8 Season 7 -♓ The Soul Eater

Travelling Through Timelines With Shang Tsung

Soul Eater Shang Tsung Floating In The Air Next To A Giant Serpent.

The Soul Eater's theme was an alternate version of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Shang Tsung traveling through the timelines to sate his insatiable hunger for souls. A fine premise on its own, but MK1 already had an alternate Shang Tsung invading the current timeline in the Story Mode, making Season 7 feel a bit repetitive. That, combined with Invasion Mode's lack of🐻 improvements𒁃 to its content and Challenges made Season 7 an all-time low.

🦂The Soul Eater's Skins had an appropriate Revenant aesthetic, but they paled in comparison to the designs of the Revenant Skins from Mortal Kombat X. As a result, Season of the Soul Eater𝄹 felt very uninspired with its theme.

7 Season 5 - Storms 𓂃

A Dark Raiden Is A Dark Threat

Dark Raiden Floating In The Air Disintegrating Fighters With Lightning.

Season 5's theme was that a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Raiden was threatening the timelines in his misguided attempt to protect them, and Storms was infamous for introducing some of Invasion's most frustrating and annoying Challenges. These included Time Trials, which ranged from fun and easy to complicated and incredibly difficult, to the Survive Challenges, which just seemed to get harder and harde🅠r with each Seasonඣ.

Not to mention the utterly despised addition of Major Malfunction Challenges, where players have a short amount of time to cause a certain amount of damage to a Cyborg before it blows up. Surely, no🔯body found those fun to do?

Storms' Skins were slightly better than the Skins of the previous Season, with a stylish lightning aesthetic, but were still pretty disappointing. Yellow andဣ purple just didn't feel like the right colors. Season of the Storms did not earn Invasion Mode any new players, nor did it give the old ones a good enough reason to come back.

6 Season 6 - The Reptile 🌃

A Zaterran Invasion

Kitana, Liu Kang, Raiden, And Kung Lao Surrounded By Zaterrans.

The Reptile's theme was an invasion by Zaterrans, who had the ability to shapeshift into reptiles and humans, and were infiltrating MK1's timeline as part of a secret attack, led by their Emperor, Syzoth.

Season 6 didn't really do much to improve on the previous Season, as several of the Challenges and Malfunctions were just as difficult, if not more so, - with Peacemaker's 𒅌Character Trials somehow makinඣg him not fun to play.

However, the Skins were actually really good and some of the best in Invasion Mode. With their appropriately swampy shades of green a🦄nd brown and reptilian aesthetic, they were satisfying for a Reptile-based Season. Despite having a great Skin set, Season of the Reptile was held back by its difficult Challenges and repetitive Encounters.

5 ෴ ๊ Season 8 - The Dark Dragon

Liu Kang Seeks Perfection

Crazy Titan Liu Kang Surrounded By His Fighters With Some Sort Of Fire Or Explosion Behind Him.

The Dark Dragon's theme was a power-mad Titan Liu Kang who wishes to "perfect" all timelines. It's a rather appropriate theme for Invasion Mode's (possibly) final Season, asꦦ MK1's Fire God Liu Kang ha🦄s been the players' guide and the timeline's protector.

The Season itself wasn't a l♓ot of fun to play, but it was surprisingly short and even easy at times. This could be because of the massive player drop over time, or because NetherRealm finally listened to fans about the Challenges being too hard. In any case, Season 8 didn't take up too much time and effort from those who were still pl꧑aying it. The Dark Dragon's Skins are also very good, with a beautiful mixture of gold and white.

Season of the Dark Dragon is an expectantly frustrating, but occasionally breezy end to a whole year of M🌺K1's Invasio𒈔n Mode.

4 🃏 🐷 Season 4 - The Huntress

Invasion Of The Clones

Crazy Mileena Covered In Blood With Shang Tsung's Head On Her Hip Charging Forward With Her Army Of Clones.

The Huntress's theme was an invading army of Mileena clones. Season 4 had some of the most frustr🍎ating Survive Challenges up to that point, along with quite possibly the worst Seasonal Skin sets in Invasion Mode.

Whereas the Skins from the other Seasons were inspired by the fighters they centered on, The Huntress's Skins, for the most part, weren't really based on Mileena's aesthetic. The Skins's ugly mix of colors had fans theorize that they were originally meant for Havik, but were repurposed for Mileena's Season. Their prominence in MK1's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Khaos Reigns expansion seems to support this.

Even putting the disappointing Skins aside, Season of the Huntress w𒁃asn't very fun to play, as Invasion's repetitive Challenges and Encounters continued to make the game mode feel like a ✅chore rather than a fun distraction.

3 🐎 Season 2 - Blood Moon

Prepare For A Vampire Invasion

Blood Soaked Nitara Flying Through The Air With Her Army Of Vaeternians.

Blood Moon's theme was an invasion by Vaeternians (Vampires), led by Nitara, from a timeline where they are the dominant species. Season 2 upped Invasion's difficulty, and not in a good way, as it became more grindy and repetitive, while making it harder and slower to level up fighters. However, Blood Moon's Skins lived up to its vampire aesthetic, 🥂with some creepy uses of black, red, and gray that would appeal to gothic-loving players.

While Season of the Blood Moon showed how repetitive and frustrating Invas🤪ion Mode would become, it was still fairly easy to play and enjoy compared to future Seasons, and it added some good-looking Skins.

2 🎃 Season 3 - The Cryomancer

Cryomancer's Amass An Army

Slightly Eviler Bi-Han Sub-Zero Freezing Everyone In His Path To Death.

The Cryomancer's theme was a slightly eviler version of Sub-Zero attacking MK1's timeline with his army of cryomancers. Season 3 was an improvement over Blood Moon, but only in a few aspects to its gameplay, with its biggest redeeming quality being that it finally added fighter intro dialogues to Invasion Mode.

Of course, it turned out it was only for boss fights, rather than all fighter Encounters, but players would take what they could get. The Cryomancer's Skins had a "cool" look to them, with their ice-themed aesthetic and shades of blue and white. The Season also 🤪came with some Christmas-inspired re🏅d, green, and white cosmetics to get players in the mood for the holidays.

The Season of the Cryomancer wasn't a Christma🌟s present, but it was a bit of a refresher compared to the latter Seasons.

1 Season 1 - The Spectre 🤪

Scorpion Seeks Harumi

Crazy Hanzo Hasashi Scorpion With A Flaming Skull Head.

The first Season of Invasion Mode was also its easiest, with none of the Trials or Challenges that would plague the later Seasons. Season 1's theme was that a Scorpion (Hanzo Hasashi this time) was searching through the multiverse to find a timelinꦬe where his wife, Harumi, was🌸n't dead.

He ends up in MK1's timeline, where Harumi was marrying her Scorpion, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kuai Liang, causing him to fall into a rage. The Spectre was a really cool premise to sell Invasion Mode and its Seasonal multiversal threats. Season 1's Scorpion-styled Skin✱s also looked nice. Nothing too complicated, but they had a good mixture of red, yellow, and orange.

Invasion Mode peaked in its first Season, which is unfort🌺unate because it could've been a very fun game mode to play if it had more variety in its content. Perhaps a sequel could bring back The K♕rypt or Konquest Mode, or even better, Motor Kombat.
