The story continues in this expansion, and I really recommend it, but only buy it in sales! Its original price is too high. We also get to play the evil side and can choose between two endings.
Please Sindel just kill me already, why are you so hot even being so evil?

It was super polished, and a high quality story mode, but I have my gripes about the direction that was locked-in, in terms of which ending was canon.
Best MK 11
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is one of the best DLC's I have ever seen. The 5 chapter, 2.5 hour story mode here is just incredible. It is the next essential chapter in the Mortal Kombat franchise. It also goes deep on character development and elevates Shang Tsung from a mediocre villain to the most complex character of the franchise. It has to be seen to be believed. So while the full price of it is too much for a 2.5 hour DLC, definitely grab this on a sale and prepare to be mind blown.
The Full Review(No Spoilers for the DLC, Spoilers for the Main Game):
Netherrealm's Best Work Yet
Oh my, wow! I really did not expect to see this. Netherrealm blew my mind with Mortal Kombat 11's Aftermath DLC. Because this 2.5 hour, 5 chapter DLC is the best story content they have ever created. So many interesting story decisions, so many crazy moments I thought I would never see and at the middle of it all, a fantastic character study for Mortal Kombat's original villain Shang Tsung.
Our story is set right after the ending of Mortal Kombat 11. We literally see the ending cutscene of 11 again. Liu Kang and Raiden begins working on the Hourglass but they are interrupted by Shang Tsung, Nightwolf and Fujin.
The trio says that they have been imprisoned by Kronika when they refused to join her but with her dead, they were able to come back. If Liu Kang continues to tinker with the hourglass without Kronika's Crown which is currently destroyed, Hourglass will explode. So Shang Tsung offers help, the trio will go back in time and they will steal the crown.
Liu Kang accepts but he is of course suspicious of him. And our story follows this time heist. I basically told you the opening cutscene of Aftermath and can't tell you anything else because the story here is just a masterpiece. Similar to 11's main storyline, there are some really good moments between characters and their different versions but those are mostly used in the first half of the DLC.
The first 3 chapters of this feels like your typical Netherrealm story mode. But, the last 2 chapters which is the final hour of the DLC goes crazy. Like wow. Not in the gameplay sense, this is a DLC after all and the gameplay did not change much.
But the story? It's so bold, so creative, so exciting and so interesting that I really couldn't take my eyes away from it. This is not just a DLC, this is definitely the next major moment in the continuing story of the Mortal Kombat franchise.
IMDB has Dominic Cianciolo and Shawn Kittelsen as the writers, the same duo from the main game. I hope that information is true because I want to credit the right people for this incredible story.
I also want to credit Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, the voice actor behind Shang Tsung. I never particularly cared for the character or though him more than just a villain. But this DLC manages to add so much to his character, my brain hurts thinking how good the character has become with this DLC.
This DLC not only introduces this new 5 chapter story mode but it also includes 3 new characters. Fujin, Sheeva and RoboCop. As well as 3 skin packs and a special Johnny Cage skin. For all of this, the price was 39.99 US Dollars.
That is definitely the biggest problem with this DLC. It is too expensive for what is included here. Yes, the story is the best Netherrealm story yet, there is a fantastic performance by Tagawa here but it's not that long. 2.5 hours. The other thing you get is 3 characters. And that's it. On sale, this DLC is definitely worth it but the full price of it is too expensive for what's on offer.
