In the world of Mortal Kombat 1 much is brewing. Before the game even officially launched, players began to unravel and successfully execute deadly combos, known as the 'touch of death'. In fighting video games, a touch of death combo is a relentless sequence of moves, leaving the opponent helpless and slowly depleting their health points to zero - or near enough.

A Twitter user, BasicsStupidity, shared a video of one such inescapable combo. However, they are not alone in uncovering these long combos. Players across the internet are discovering and executing new, challenging combos that seriously knock down their opponents' health. Although they may not all technically be 'touch of death', they pack a significant punch.

The game is receiving positive reviews, with VG247 giving it 4/5 stars. Reviewer, Connor, referred to Mortal Kombat 1 as a "generally positive step in a new direction". The game was credited for its potential for a thrilling new era of Mortal Kombat, even if some features of previous editions were missed.
