Gear Elements For Non-Competitive Play
Perhaps one of the biggest changes Injustice 2 has made compared to the original title is the addition of RPG elements like equippable gear for each character. It’s a technical element that embraces the game’s theme of “every battle defines you.” In this case, every battle decides what kinds of upgrades and gear you will earn, which will ultimately decide what kind of stats you’re allowed to boost. So while each character levels up over time, items earned via loot drops provide additional boosts to certain stats but could also reduce others as well. It provides an entirely new element of strategy that’s necessary to utilize if you want to dominate certain opponents. Mortal Kombat has a diverse cast that would lend itself particularly well to this kind of gear system.
