Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (PS2/Xbox, 2005) is a brutal beat-’em-up that reimagines MKII’s lore as a co-op action-adventure. Play as Liu Kang or Kung Lao (or unlock Scorpion/Sub-Zero) to hack, slash, and Fatality your way through Outworld, with combo-heavy combat, environmental kills (spikes, pits), and secret MK Easter eggs. Its local co-op and arena-style boss fights (Shang Tsung, Baraka) make it a fan-favorite spin-off—though the camera and repetition show their age. A bloody love letter to MK’s golden era.
