Invasion is too easy even for a mediocre player

[-A7 Demon Seed-]

Im almost done with the invasion mode with reptile.....I am by means NOT an elite mk player. If i played 50 matches online id be somewhere around 25-25 probably. Most times in invasion i get flawless victory and it sucks because i enjoy the mode otherwise. I also wish they had more variety on skin unlocks. You can see by my time played, i havnt no lifed the game either. There needs to be a difficulty slider.

Yup. Just like SF6 world tour its more of a grind than an actual challenge. They both failed in their single player "rpg" likes. Granted at least you unlock cosmetics for ACTUAL characters in MK1. lol That was nice of them. I still need to go back and finish all the barricades.

I just hate that the content is so lackluster. Such a step down from mk11 on customization and unless we wana grind multiplayer, thats it......

Yea the customization was a huge step down...at least we aren't reliant on those awful MK11 towers or AI battles for gear...small victories. Invasions was a neat idea but they should have had it more varied like Smash ultimate...every fight started to blur together as the same thing with little to no variety. Should have brought back MK9s fun modes for it like upside down screen, no arms, no legs, etc.

If they make it more challenging, then here's hoping they also cut the number of battles in each "island" in half. It's a slog to get through as it is. Making it take even longer because the fights last longer would pretty much be the final nail in the mode's coffin.

I'd take that deal.

If they made it slightly more challenging it would make the battles an actual battle and not basically practice mode. THere is no point in using any of the buffs or anything because its easy enough as is. As I said, Im not some great player...So whats the point in the buffs you can use if the cpu is already terrible? Whats the point of the ai level if it doesnt matter? Whats the point of elemental damages if it doesnt make a difference?

Also, the point isnt to "GEt through it" it to enjoy using the mechanics and game play which is nothing more than a longer practice mode at the moment. .

Whats worst is you dont have to use any of the rpg elements due to the difficulty being so easy. ALl the buffs, elemental damages etc dont do anything because its already too easy. Its replay value is almost 0. The point should be to enjoy the experience rather than slog through it. They should atleast add a difficulty slider.

Invasions definitely needs some work. The constant armoured/dark fights w/ a secret fight on every other node I just found incredibly grindy, repetitive and annoying.

Like who's idea was it to give the enemies temporary god mode and turn out the lights so you can't see what you're doing?! super fun >_>

Yes that's when I started getting annoyed and also in Shang Tsung's Lab after finishing a fight I would get a secret fight every single time lol so annoying 😏🤣

Invasion mode is meant to be easy. The mode is the replacement for Krypt so we don't have to keep on resetting a treasure chest like in MK11. You just do questlines, kick back, practice, and so on. no need to mess with Invasion mode it will be a waste of programming time when you still have to unlock 32boxes for each fighter plus the kameos.
