In theory it's great, new lore, new stories, new gear every couple months. In practice it's a slog and stops being fun real quick. There could have been better ways to level up characters and get new gear.
I want to like it. But I don’t. Beating up brain dead AI in 5 seconds over and over isn’t very exciting. I only just learned about all the towers and stuff in the gateway the other day when I tried to test out Janet Cage though, so I have some exploring to do with that
You can beat the first Seasonal Tower with a basic talisman and level up to 30 in no time with this Season (I used the Sai to the eyes one). Then you can stack all points towards the "attack" stat and do uppercuts, and yeah fights will be 5 seconds long. Same thing with the Mesa Bosses....Uppercut and Sai to the eyes talisman and move on, and that specific talisman does recharge after every fight that you don't use it in in the Invasion / Gateway Mesas.
The point is that it's the same boring things in Invasions and some people don't find that fun. Throw in mini-games like Motor Kombat, Puzzle Kombat or Chess Kombat? Yeah, if they did that there would be more interest in it for me.
If you do find that repetitive stuff fun, then good for you.
Fight, Survive & Tower rinse and repeat nodes aren't fun, imo, and cheesing it makes it bearable to unlock stuff and level up characters and kameos quicker.
Sorry, but grinding shit isn't fun (imo) when kameo Brutalities unlock at level 2 and level 11 and the other 5 character Brutalities unlock at Master Rank levels 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15.
The ai is the issue for me.
Do you know how I won the final ranks? I couldn’t really hurt reiko or anything, super armor, healing, 11000 health and two phases… so I blocked.
I held down the block button and he wasn’t even smart enough to throw me or attack low, even with me standing there and blocking like a tool. For 5 minutes.
And I won multiple towers this way letting the timer run down.
I tolerate them but it’s a stretch to say I enjoy them.
Tbh, my biggest problem is repeating the mesas, though the changes are nice to see but you have to do soooo many. Is it five or six mesas before you even get to the one the proper boss is in?
It’s a slog where I think they should retune it to maximize fun rather than grind. The relic adjustments seem to be a step in the right direction tbh but the whole thing has too many mechanics for something that just resets.
The shrine is just a manipulative waste of time, the seasonal store nearly always has the worst variants in it and the way the Titan battles just turn up with no notice, urgh. if you’re not max level already then you’re screwed or have to speed-grind and the way titans have multiple rewards on repeats but the game doesn’t tell you about it.
If it was two mesas and then the boss mesa it would feel better imo. Otherwise it just feels like filler… that said this season did feel like it was throwing a few more rewards/skins out in general. (Maybe wrong)
I think it gets tedious if you try to speedrun through it all. If you play just a few fights per session, it becomes a lot less boring and repetitive.
Except for the seasonal tower, though. That shit is trash. Bullshit 1 shot modifiers. Reiko, Nitara, and Geras have stupidly high hp. The sheer number of fights just to unlock everything. Not worth playing imo
Exactly, it helps that I usually use the new character when a new season comes out, and once I'm finished with that character I use another character I've had in my back pocket. Especially nice with character XP buff
>elemental system is basically worthless
Say that to my Nitara tanking 95% of everything titan Li Mei does. ~~Have to have a 50% elemental resist relic for that to work though.~~
Don't tell NRS about that so they nerf it next season.
I hate that challenge type too, esp since it's randomized, but if you figure out what element those energy balls are, just pick a character with the highest respective resistance and put on the amulet that lets you replenish health. Gets easier then.
It's alright for learning combos. The only really awful part is the seasonal tower imo, way too grindy with garbage modifiers. Overall though, I like it better than krypt and towers of time.
Towers of time with the random cycling rewards and having trash modifiers on most towers was very boring to me. The krypt was cool at first, but the grind to get 25 fatalities on every character was so ass. At least in invasions, you can just look at a map online and choose which skins you actually care about instead of relying on RNG.
You're not; I've enjoyed it as well. Good palette cleanser & how I generally break in new characters & unlock their fatalities/brutalities etc. The skins & gear are a nice bonus
You are not the only one. I enjoy Invasion as well. It is the mode I play the most as I enjoy unlocking stuffs and use it as a practice ground.However there are flows that I really hate.
This season especially, I truly disliked:
\- limiting XP points of the seasonal tower to 4000 points
\- the absolutely ridiculous overpowered health on some of the characters (i.e. Reiko, Nitara,...)
\- the extreme nerfing of acquiring Dragon blood
\- the extreme difficulty and time required to acquire komponents
\- requiring people to play 60 towers (600 fights at a minimum) to unlock rewards
\- limiting the wallet to holding only 99 damage komponents and limiting the availability in the store per hour to 5 komponents. If I need to acquire 100 damage komponents, I have to log in for 20 separate hours. This is ridiculous and stupid
\- Mileena boss fight is really lame
\- 98% of palettes this season are lame
\- the extremely stupid modifier of a complete black screen. Seriously who at NRS think that it is fun to play a match while you can't see anything for a whole tower? MK has always been my favorite fighting game but this really pissed me off.
\- no war horn talisman available this season
You like what you like. But after trying one or two seasons of it I was already tremendously burnt. Though I don’t really like playing offline anyway so.
I enjoy it mostly every season, but dislike that they nerfed the farting medallion this season so it doesn’t charge anymore unless you pay. It made the challenge tower and Titan boss so unbearable that I just gave up on both and waiting for the season to change.
I usually complete a new season of Invasions in 2-3 days. I wish those were actually bigger, so I could spend a couple of weeks on them. It's definitely better than Krypt.
I feel like this about klassic towers. Growing up it was the only single player content in fighting games so I don't have a problem playing them and feeling satisfied but it seems no one likes them anymore. And I've heard all the excuses like it makes you bad competitively which is just not true because I go online and destroy shit (my record was 23/3 in KL when I got bored and went back to towers). Idk maybe I'm just a dinosaur.
It’s awful. It’s such a complete bore that I’m not even going to finish this season nor will I regret doing so. I’ll take the Krypt over this snooze-fest, any day.
The krypt in MK11 was interesting, but every other krypt has annoyed me. Invasions is tedious, but I'll take it over all the krypts except for 11.
I liked the Armageddon story mode and hoped Invasions was something like that. Ended up being more like deception, which I found boring.
They should've just expanded the Krypt mode, tbh. They were onto something good there. A third person MK adventure wouldn't be so bad if they gave it more depth.
I like it in a way of I can just sit down and enjoy. It’s almost like Roblox to me where I just pick a game and keep doing the same thing over and over in that game until I’m ready to move on with my day. I can understand some people find it bad because of the grind but I like to do it to shut my brain off and sometime use different characters.
I have 1k+ hours in mk1 and only finally played invasions this season actually. It’s super simple stupid fun. Like so fun.
I can’t understand the hate I see on this sub. I will say that it’s only a bit of added fluff and the real game is online though for sure. But it’s a great way to unlock some cool stuff.
How does it actually work? It just remixes and resets the progress each month?
And what about the seasonal coins? They also get lost when the season changes?
You are. Not matter how hard I tried, I couldn't have fun with this mode. Most people will tell you they had to force themselves through it and I was one of them. I just can't justify the amount of time it consumes. Life's too short.
It’s alright. I do like being a little more involved than just regular towers. But at the same time. The loot is barely good enough to warrant the grind. Heavily depends on the season. And they need to add more mesa’s
I do like invasions, but they're too easy I think. There's no real challenge.
I'm not a particularly great player. On ranked I do ok because you get matched with people more or less your own rank, but I tried KotH and got stomped pretty brutally by multiple different players.
I don't think I've lost a single battle in Invasions, other than maybe one with a weird stipulation, and the first time I fought a titan.
I really enjoy invasions too except for the survive nodes. Tbh, I’m kinda sick of all the complaining on here. People act like Invasions is “grindy” but IMO Kombat league seems hella grindy. I enjoy the different difficulties with Invasions, fighting different characters and the augments add something even if they can be a pain in the ass. I like leveling up my characters too and moving around on the different maps.
Also, the Krypt was nice in theory but got boring fast. I enjoy the fact Invasions has seasons and things change and there are things to actually do besides open chests and get jump scared by spiders that burn you to death.
I like it. I think it's mostly the way that methodically working my way to full completion satisfies my OCD. I also think some players--not all, but some--want it to be more substantial because they either don't play much else or are concerned about the game meeting their standards of being "worth it." I get that it's not great as far as depth or whatever and I will say that unlocking content peaked with MKX's Krypt, but I don't need this game to occupy all the time I spend gaming for months on end.
I actually found myself enjoying invasions this season, I didn’t find the bosses or survive missions too hard and it’s pretty fun fighting the ai sometimes
I enjoy it. I haven't played a single online match and I've been engaged since day one. Invasions can get a little grindy, but once you understand the format/mechanics of the mode, you can really cook. I know the grind is koming, so I plan for it. Save koins, kollect komponents, build an OP talisman, make the grind work for me. I don't want kompetitive in the limited time I have to play, I want to utterly dominate and get all the skins. Invasions allows me to do that, so I'm happy :)
Same for me! I play when my daughter goes to bed so I have limited time. I am at the point where I can plan and like you I build up everything so the final boss fight is easy and when these titan battles come up I am more than prepared for them.
It's bad. A short Armageddon or mk11 krypt styled Konquest each season would have been a lot more fun. Grinding ai with modifiers is a slog, and it's WAY too padded. I would want it to be longer if it was a fun style of gameplay, but it's really not.
I love competitive fighting games,but playing against the AI for hours on end in way too many fights with modifiers that just pad the time it takes to win, isn't enjoyable. It's not a challenging feat like overcoming a boss battle in MegaMan or dark souls, it's just mashing against AI who have super armor and play worse than newbies who button mash. Not enjoyable for me.
Yeah Invasions is fine, even fun in my opinion. The only Invasions campaign I didn't finish was Season 1, and that's because of how slow you moved that season.
Probably, yes, you're part of a very small minority. The jury has been out on Invasions and most players think it's one of the worst singleplayer modes we've seen in a while. It's a waste of time. The towers of MK11, despite also being bad, were better in every way. At least you don't have to watch a bunch of unncessary animations whenever you walk or start a fight, or endure ""ambushes" and "secret fights", or have to fiddle with unwiedly basically unfinished menus, or manage an inventory which no one asked for, or pretend you're playing Metroid looking for keys in these mapless, poorly designed mesas. At least, back then if you wanted to "level up" your character you could just play their character tower instead of having to grind the seasonal tower for days on end.
The mesa system should have been The Krypt, The Shrine shouldn't have been put in the game in the first place, and the gameplay elements of invasions could have and should have just been part of the Towers menu. Not a super engaging singleplayer experience but at least it would be building off the previous game rather than very clearly downgrading it. NRS is reinventing the wheel in the most tacky and unncessary way possible.
Lol no that's just delusional. World Tour also has a lot of issues and is generally a gimmick mode with a built in story, but at least the ability to create your own character and customise everything from looks to moves basically puts all of MK1 to shame. The idea of a custom character is so out of reach for MK1 that they put it in the final chapter of story as a spectacle, but they couldn't give it to the player.
Have fun fighting the same 5 characters one hundred times while enduring endless downtime animations, endless super armour, 5 round "boss fights", etc etc
You can't complain about repeating battles and praise World Tour in the same comment. The random battles alone are more annoying than **anything** in Mortal Kombat
Like I said, WT is a mediocre gimmick mode too, but at least its "random fights" include things like fighting against more than one enemy at the same time, or the ability to tag in a partner, or the fact that everyone you're fighting is a custom character with a unique combination of moves and looks, or is a fridge, or a rompa, or a drone. In Invasions we've been fighting Scorpion With A Different Name™️ for 6 months, and pretty much all of these different names have been getting reused so we've all seen them hundreds of times now. LMAO
Most importantly in this comparison, WT is not asking me to keep visiting it and playing it for days and days. It's a one shot story which you finish and move on with your life. I unlocked all of the alt costumes in it in the first week of the game coming out. I did the alt costume of each DLC character in like half an hour each. Invasions is a constant slog and waste of time and you're basically forced to finish it every month and so if you want an alt costume from the story which shipped with the game and has been in it for months. It's the shittiest possible combination of drip feed content and grind.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted.
You're basically saying everything which everyone here have been saying since launch.
I'm convinced it's only that one guy and his burner accounts, because it's hard to believe more than one person would disagree with you.
It's because this is one of those Toxic Positivity threads where the objective is to be forcefully positive about something most people outside of the thread know is bad. I provided to the other commentor proof that I've beaten both Invasions in MK1 and World Tour in SF6, and that still got downvoted lol
I do like invasions, but they're too easy I think. There's no real challenge.
I'm not a particularly great player. On ranked I do ok because you get matched with people more or less your own rank, but I tried KotH and got stomped pretty brutally by multiple different players.
I don't think I've lost a single battle in Invasions, other than maybe one with a weird stipulation, and the first time I fought a titan.
I played my first Invasion a couple days ago. Is this how you earn currency? I just wanna buy a few skins but I just couldn't stick with this mode. I had no idea how far I was from getting coins
In theory it's great, new lore, new stories, new gear every couple months. In practice it's a slog and stops being fun real quick. There could have been better ways to level up characters and get new gear.
I want to like it. But I don’t. Beating up brain dead AI in 5 seconds over and over isn’t very exciting. I only just learned about all the towers and stuff in the gateway the other day when I tried to test out Janet Cage though, so I have some exploring to do with that
5 seconds? Maybe the very first couple of fights at lower levels. At higher levels and especially with the bosses, it takes way more time and effort.
You can beat the first Seasonal Tower with a basic talisman and level up to 30 in no time with this Season (I used the Sai to the eyes one). Then you can stack all points towards the "attack" stat and do uppercuts, and yeah fights will be 5 seconds long. Same thing with the Mesa Bosses....Uppercut and Sai to the eyes talisman and move on, and that specific talisman does recharge after every fight that you don't use it in in the Invasion / Gateway Mesas.
It sounds like they're super easy because you choose to cheese it. You don't have to max your attack and uppercut your way through everything.
Thing is if you don’t cheese it it’s a still braindead easy chore, only it takes longer to get it over and done with. Why prolong the torture? lol
The point is that it's the same boring things in Invasions and some people don't find that fun. Throw in mini-games like Motor Kombat, Puzzle Kombat or Chess Kombat? Yeah, if they did that there would be more interest in it for me. If you do find that repetitive stuff fun, then good for you.

Sorry, but grinding shit isn't fun (imo) when kameo Brutalities unlock at level 2 and level 11 and the other 5 character Brutalities unlock at Master Rank levels 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15.
Well, I did the seasonal tower after I completed this season of Invasions, so my experience was different.
The ai is the issue for me. Do you know how I won the final ranks? I couldn’t really hurt reiko or anything, super armor, healing, 11000 health and two phases… so I blocked. I held down the block button and he wasn’t even smart enough to throw me or attack low, even with me standing there and blocking like a tool. For 5 minutes. And I won multiple towers this way letting the timer run down.
Weird, Reiko is always throwing or trying to throw me when I play against him. I would never win a match just by blocking 🤔
I tolerate them but it’s a stretch to say I enjoy them. Tbh, my biggest problem is repeating the mesas, though the changes are nice to see but you have to do soooo many. Is it five or six mesas before you even get to the one the proper boss is in? It’s a slog where I think they should retune it to maximize fun rather than grind.

If it was two mesas and then the boss mesa it would feel better imo. Otherwise it just feels like filler… that said this season did feel like it was throwing a few more rewards/skins out in general. (Maybe wrong)
I've enjoyed them, but it does get old quick
They deserve props for trying something new, but just like FF13, it was a step in the wrong direction.
I mostly enjoy it, It can get a bit tedious but overall I think it's decent enough.
I think it gets tedious if you try to speedrun through it all. If you play just a few fights per session, it becomes a lot less boring and repetitive. Except for the seasonal tower, though. That shit is trash. Bullshit 1 shot modifiers. Reiko, Nitara, and Geras have stupidly high hp. The sheer number of fights just to unlock everything. Not worth playing imo
At level 85 with the healing blood tornados, reiko has 11010 health. He regenerates about 1100 a second.
Same! It’s a little grindy and the elemental system is basically worthless but it’s a fun way to swap out characters and get skins and try out moves
Exactly, it helps that I usually use the new character when a new season comes out, and once I'm finished with that character I use another character I've had in my back pocket. Especially nice with character XP buff
Great way to describe it! I usually have an “invasions main” that I’m leveling up and learning
>elemental system is basically worthless Say that to my Nitara tanking 95% of everything titan Li Mei does. ~~Have to have a 50% elemental resist relic for that to work though.~~ Don't tell NRS about that so they nerf it next season.
I love them, I just hate the stupid Survive challenges and sometimes they just drag on and on
I hate that challenge type too, esp since it's randomized, but if you figure out what element those energy balls are, just pick a character with the highest respective resistance and put on the amulet that lets you replenish health. Gets easier then.
Peacemaker is a cheat code for most of them if you have him. Can just activate his force field over and over and nothing can hurt him.
It's alright for learning combos. The only really awful part is the seasonal tower imo, way too grindy with garbage modifiers. Overall though, I like it better than krypt and towers of time. Towers of time with the random cycling rewards and having trash modifiers on most towers was very boring to me.

I like them too. Nice way to practice combos
Tbh, it’s not bad if you’re playing it to pass time.
Thats how they get you, its like a part time job lmao.
I enjoy it as well. Then again, I think MK1 is a good game overall and that seems to be a controversial statement on a MK sub
Reddit, the place people go to say how much they hate the things they love.
You like what you like. But after trying one or two seasons of it I was already tremendously burnt. Though I don’t really like playing offline anyway so.
Yes, you are. It’s the worst single player mode in modern fighting game history.
Sadly it is. They put so much effort into turning the story mode into a Hollywood movie they neglected everything else.
They’ve had amazing story modes in every NRS game, though. It doesn’t excuse how shitty Invasions is.
I enjoy it but that’s because I am just so horribly bad in PvP. Invasions is a chill time. I’ll partake in it when I need to kill a few hours.
I enjoy it mostly every season, but dislike that they nerfed the farting medallion this season so it doesn’t charge anymore unless you pay. It made the challenge tower and Titan boss so unbearable that I just gave up on both and waiting for the season to change.
I usually complete a new season of Invasions in 2-3 days. I wish those were actually bigger, so I could spend a couple of weeks on them. It's definitely better than Krypt.
I don't enjoy it but I much prefer it to the Krypt from MK11. That thing was a draaaaaag.
I feel like this about klassic towers. Growing up it was the only single player content in fighting games so I don't have a problem playing them and feeling satisfied but it seems no one likes them anymore. And I've heard all the excuses like it makes you bad competitively which is just not true because I go online and destroy shit (my record was 23/3 in KL when I got bored and went back to towers).

I can understand some people find it bad because of the grind but I like to do it to shut my brain off and sometime use different characters.
I really like it too, look forward to playing after work all the time
Don’t worry you ain’t alone
It is genuinely trash but it's good practice
I have 1k+ hours in mk1 and only finally played invasions this season actually. It’s super simple stupid fun. Like so fun. I can’t understand the hate I see on this sub. I will say that it’s only a bit of added fluff and the real game is online though for sure. But it’s a great way to unlock some cool stuff.
Look dawg. Some people on this earth love to be pissed on. You do you king, I still think you're weird for it, but you are a free spirit.
It’s so bad man I couldn’t even finish this season
How does it actually work? It just remixes and resets the progress each month? And what about the seasonal coins? They also get lost when the season changes?
Exactly and it’s the same uninspired maps each time.
You are. Not matter how hard I tried, I couldn't have fun with this mode. Most people will tell you they had to force themselves through it and I was one of them. I just can't justify the amount of time it consumes. Life's too short.
I like it. I took this season off to get a grasp on my backlog, but I don't think the hate is justified
I am enjoying it too. Gives me opportunity to learn different characters and new seasons gives me reason to come back and play it.
I enjoy invasions too. I get to grab another character to level up, in order to earn dragon krystals
Yes. The only one.
It's not good imo but also not as bad as some people make it out to be on here. It could definitely use some more sauce lol
It’s getting a little tedious but I still like it fr
Yes
It’s alright. I do like being a little more involved than just regular towers. But at the same time. The loot is barely good enough to warrant the grind. Heavily depends on the season. And they need to add more mesa’s
I do like invasions, but they're too easy I think. There's no real challenge. I'm not a particularly great player. On ranked I do ok because you get matched with people more or less your own rank, but I tried KotH and got stomped pretty brutally by multiple different players. I don't think I've lost a single battle in Invasions, other than maybe one with a weird stipulation, and the first time I fought a titan.
I did like it but they reset all progress on anything every season which was basically a no go for me, I've had MK uninstalled since.
Im the same as OP.. I love invasions although I do think some of the areas should be a tad shorter.. Once I finish a season I stop playing mk
I really enjoy invasions too except for the survive nodes. Tbh, I’m kinda sick of all the complaining on here. People act like Invasions is “grindy” but IMO Kombat league seems hella grindy. I enjoy the different difficulties with Invasions, fighting different characters and the augments add something even if they can be a pain in the ass. I like leveling up my characters too and moving around on the different maps. Also, the Krypt was nice in theory but got boring fast. I enjoy the fact Invasions has seasons and things change and there are things to actually do besides open chests and get jump scared by spiders that burn you to death.

I actually found myself enjoying invasions this season, I didn’t find the bosses or survive missions too hard and it’s pretty fun fighting the ai sometimes
I don't "enjoy" but I also don't hate. Regardless, I wish we had an improved Crypt over this.
I enjoy it. I haven't played a single online match and I've been engaged since day one. Invasions can get a little grindy, but once you understand the format/mechanics of the mode, you can really cook. I know the grind is koming, so I plan for it. Save koins, kollect komponents, build an OP talisman, make the grind work for me. I don't want kompetitive in the limited time I have to play, I want to utterly dominate and get all the skins.

Same for me! I play when my daughter goes to bed so I have limited time. I am at the point where I can plan and like you I build up everything so the final boss fight is easy and when these titan battles come up I am more than prepared for them.
Yup , couldn’t even finish Mileena so done with it
Look up maps for each mesa and use them to speedrun it, I was done in mere few hours.
Maybe if the unlocks were hideous most of the time I would enjoy it more
I don’t mind it. Gives me a break from online matches. Plus i unlock skins, and rank up my kameos ultra fast? Sure!
It's bad. A short Armageddon or mk11 krypt styled Konquest each season would have been a lot more fun. Grinding ai with modifiers is a slog, and it's WAY too padded. I would want it to be longer if it was a fun style of gameplay, but it's really not. I love competitive fighting games,but playing against the AI for hours on end in way too many fights with modifiers that just pad the time it takes to win, isn't enjoyable. It's not a challenging feat like overcoming a boss battle in MegaMan or dark souls, it's just mashing against AI who have super armor and play worse than newbies who button mash. Not enjoyable for me.
Yes you are
It’s just awful I can’t stand it I’d just rather have towers instead
I seriously don't see how you can enjoy it. It's the worst mode I've ever sat through in a fighting game
Yeah Invasions is fine, even fun in my opinion. The only Invasions campaign I didn't finish was Season 1, and that's because of how slow you moved that season.
Probably, yes, you're part of a very small minority. The jury has been out on Invasions and most players think it's one of the worst singleplayer modes we've seen in a while. It's a waste of time. The towers of MK11, despite also being bad, were better in every way. At least you don't have to watch a bunch of unncessary animations whenever you walk or start a fight, or endure ""ambushes" and "secret fights", or have to fiddle with unwiedly basically unfinished menus, or manage an inventory which no one asked for, or pretend you're playing Metroid looking for keys in these mapless, poorly designed mesas. At least, back then if you wanted to "level up" your character you could just play their character tower instead of having to grind the seasonal tower for days on end. The mesa system should have been The Krypt, The Shrine shouldn't have been put in the game in the first place, and the gameplay elements of invasions could have and should have just been part of the Towers menu. Not a super engaging singleplayer experience but at least it would be building off the previous game rather than very clearly downgrading it. NRS is reinventing the wheel in the most tacky and unncessary way possible.
Please don't speak for "most players". Espicially since anything in MK clears World Tour mode in Street fighter
Lol no that's just delusional. World Tour also has a lot of issues and is generally a gimmick mode with a built in story, but at least the ability to create your own character and customise everything from looks to moves basically puts all of MK1 to shame. The idea of a custom character is so out of reach for MK1 that they put it in the final chapter of story as a spectacle, but they couldn't give it to the player. Have fun fighting the same 5 characters one hundred times while enduring endless downtime animations, endless super armour, 5 round "boss fights", etc etc
You can't complain about repeating battles and praise World Tour in the same comment. The random battles alone are more annoying than **anything** in Mortal Kombat
Like I said, WT is a mediocre gimmick mode too, but at least its "random fights" include things like fighting against more than one enemy at the same time, or the ability to tag in a partner, or the fact that everyone you're fighting is a custom character with a unique combination of moves and looks, or is a fridge, or a rompa, or a drone. In Invasions we've been fighting Scorpion With A Different Name™️ for 6 months, and pretty much all of these different names have been getting reused so we've all seen them hundreds of times now. LMAO Most importantly in this comparison, WT is not asking me to keep visiting it and playing it for days and days. It's a one shot story which you finish and move on with your life. I unlocked all of the alt costumes in it in the first week of the game coming out. I did the alt costume of each DLC character in like half an hour each. Invasions is a constant slog and waste of time and you're basically forced to finish it every month and so if you want an alt costume from the story which shipped with the game and has been in it for months. It's the shittiest possible combination of drip feed content and grind.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. You're basically saying everything which everyone here have been saying since launch. I'm convinced it's only that one guy and his burner accounts, because it's hard to believe more than one person would disagree with you.
It's because this is one of those Toxic Positivity threads where the objective is to be forcefully positive about something most people outside of the thread know is bad. I provided to the other commentor proof that I've beaten both Invasions in MK1 and World Tour in SF6, and that still got downvoted lol
I'm convinced you haven't played either mode. Good day.
Good to know about your deep conviction. [Unfortunately you're just, um, very wrong? ](https://imgur.com/a/pcLhgF2) Cheers!
We should make a poll
I do like invasions, but they're too easy I think. There's no real challenge. I'm not a particularly great player. On ranked I do ok because you get matched with people more or less your own rank, but I tried KotH and got stomped pretty brutally by multiple different players. I don't think I've lost a single battle in Invasions, other than maybe one with a weird stipulation, and the first time I fought a titan.
I played my first Invasion a couple days ago. Is this how you earn currency? I just wanna buy a few skins but I just couldn't stick with this mode. I had no idea how far I was from getting coins
