I think the big picture storyline is easy enough to understand, but when you get into more details, it can get a bit confusing. The characters and their story-lines are very thought out and detailed. I think that's part of the appeal of Mortal Kombat. Yes, it's a fighting game first and foremost, but the stories behind it, I think, make one more invested in the game and characters.

Ah yes, I thought as much. Also I heard several fans that its overall storyline and lore can get REALLY deep and confusing
