Mortal Kombat 4 is a classic 3D fighting game developed by Midway Games and released for Windows PC in the late 1990s. As the first title in the series to use 3D polygonal graphics, it marked a major shift from the digitized sprite style of earlier entries. The story centers on the fallen Elder God Shinnok, who escapes from the Netherrealm and seeks revenge against the other gods and Earthrealm warriors. Players choose from a roster of iconic fighters including Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, and new characters like Quan Chi and Tanya.
The gameplay introduces weapon-based combat, allowing fighters to draw and use unique weapons during matches. Classic elements such as brutal Fatalities, combos, and fast-paced one-on-one battles remain central to the experience. Stages feature interactive environments and dynamic camera angles, enhancing the 3D presentation. With arcade, versus, and tournament modes, Mortal Kombat 4 delivers competitive action and nostalgic appeal for fighting game fans on Windows systems.
