Mortal Kombat 11's most anticipated character is also its most boring? Mileena needs tweaks to become more interesting, according to TrueUnderDawg
Jaw dropping visuals, enticing personality, gorgeously gruesome animations, and... the most boring gameplay in all of Mortal Kombat 11? Fans have been widely pleased with Mileena's addition (after about a year and a half of post launch waiting) to the MK11 roster, but it's become apparent that she may not be cutting it when it comes to gameplay.
The latest from content creator True Under Dawg Gaming focuses on the game's most anticipated DLC character, highlights the parts of her arsenal that are making for bland fighting experiences, and offers some suggestions as to how to liven them up.
While many of Mileena's attacks are interesting in a vacuum, they don't all tend to compliment each other in enough ways to manifest a fighting atmosphere where players can get creative and place their unique fingerprints on the character.
Indeed, the biggest negatives we found for Mileena in our character review were limitations in her gameplay abilities as we found her combos to be too short and her necessity to make harder commitments where others don't have to.
True suggests adding a bit more utility to moves like Mileena's Sai Slide and Sai Throw to make them more effective a versatile. The main idea here is either make for better combo extension or interesting options where Mileena can make her opponents worry about more than merely one-dimensional situations.
Given how intense this character's fan base has proven to be, there's got to be a little hesitation when critiquing her to this degree. That said, if what TUDG is getting at here is indeed true, a few alterations by developers in this department will help this fan favorite reach her full potential.
