Mortal Kombat 1fans might be having a lot of fun with Omni-Man since his launch yesterday, but they’re already unimpressed with the lack of content that he brings, with no skins and fewer Brutalities than the rest of the roster.
After months of teasing,Mortal Kombat 1’s first Kombat Pack post-launch character has arrived in the form of everyone’s favourite Viltrumite conqueror - Omni-Man. Invincible’s dad has hit the game just as it goes into its second season of content, but it seems that none of that content has gone towards Nolan himself.
Not only does Omni-Man have less content than every other character on the roster,but his addition to the game also doesn’t come with DLC skins like new characters used to in Mortal Kombat 11.
Over on the Mortal Kombat subreddit, Redditor Yomi_Themadfox pointed out that Omni-Man has significantly less earnable contentthan the rest of the characters in the game. For starters, he only has 20 levels in his progression track, 15 less than the 35 that most playable fighters have.
That smaller rewards track also means that Omni-Man has less earnable gear than anyone else and doesn’t have any alternate skins at the moment, with the only significant change to his outfit coming from the various colour palettes he’s got. Even then, he’s got less of those than he should, even if the Invincible one is awesome.
Add to that the fact that Omni-Man doesn’t have any colour swaps or outfits to go along with the new season’s blood theme, and it does feel like he’s missing a fair amount of content. It’s not clear if that’s just because he’s a licensed character and there’s less freedom to mix him up like there is for the other fighters, or if it’s just a lack of content, but it is a shame.
Things are a little slimmer on the gameplay side of things, too. Although Omni-Man has two Fatalities just like the rest, he only has four Brutalities at the moment, one less than what we’ve come to expect. Again, it’s not clear why he’s got less content than everyone else considering the guest characters in Mortal Kombat 11 had a ton more to work with, but it’s noticeable.
Even though it’s a shame that Omni-Man has launched with a lot less to see and do than most other characters in Mortal Kombat 1, it is worth noting that Nolan is currently considered an “early access” character. It initially seemed like that just meant players could get ahold of him earlier if they paid for the Kombat Pack, but it could indicate that more content is on the way in the future.
