10 Great Games with TERRIBLE DLC

As bad as the DLCs on this list are, they didn't turn out as badly as Mortal Kombat 1's, which ended up tarnishing its reputation.

Serving as a sequel and a reboot of Mortal Kombat 11, players were curious to see how MK1 would turn out. It had a few problems (especially the Switch port), but the blood-soaked fighting title offered great kombat, imaginative mechanics, clever reinventions of iconic kombatants, brutal finishers, a wealth of fan-service, and a bold new direction for the franchise. Not only that, the main campaign ended on a To Be Continued, which would be explored in the DLC, Khaos Reigns.

But the bonus chapter was so reviled, it rebranded the once beloved reimagining as a failure. With a completion time of two hours, Khaos Reigns is embarrassingly short. Though new playable characters were included, core elements of them were pointlessly changed. (Rather than being cyborgs, Cyrax and Sektor were revised into Iron Man wannabes.)

Worst still, Khaos Reigns was almost the same price as the actual game. Asking devoted fans to spend another £50 for this shoddy slop wasn't just bewildering but insulting. This negativity was so overwhelming, NetherRealm Studios cancelled another planned DLC.

Although the future for series was initially bright, it's starting to look like Mortal Kombat is in desperate need of another reboot.
