Getting Started in Mortal Kombat 1
Like most modern video games, Mortal Kombat 1 features a fairly robust tutorial which should help new players to get to grips with the actual fighting pretty quickly. However, there's very little information when it comes to the title's multiple in-game currencies or how some of the consumable items that players can get their hands on actually work.
