Gameplay
Gameplay has carried over from MKX and Injustice. Fighting occurs on a 2-D plane, with the ability to interact with background elements such as projectiles or springboards. Due to the introduction of X-RAY attacks from the previous installments, the X-RAY carries over to MK v DCU 2. At the first indicator of the meter, the player is allowed to perform an interrupt action by performing a perfect block. The second indicator allows for the player to actuate their RAGE meter. A player in RAGE acts identically to the previous MK vs DCU, it protects a player from being stunned and boosts a characters damage potential. The maximum indicator allows for the X-RAY move; which allows a character to perform a series of damaging attacks for a large portion of damage.
In Story Mode, players again join a side. Since this time the heroes and villains band together instead of with their separate universes; the heroes and villains are collaborating beyond their two universes to come out ontop. Independent villains like Eclipso are using the heroes and villains RAGE against each other; while other characters simply fight to prove dominance. The main campaign focuses on 16 chapters that drives the plot of the campaign to its conclusion.
Ladder also makes a return, featuring a sub-boss of either Shinnok or Brainiac, the final boss of Onazago, and animated ending for each character. Training mode which allows players to hone their skills with their chosen character. The Fatality Practice Mode returns, renamed Finisher Practice, where the button combinations for the Fatality/Heroic Brutality are shown above, and a green square on the ground indicates the correct distance for the finisher to work. If the player moves away from the square, it turns red, indicating that the Fatality/Heroic Brutality will not be executed. This time, either finisher can be selected instead of only showing the first finisher, which required players to pause the game and look for the alternate finisher in the move list. Lastly, the Krypt is available from the start with alternate costumes, concept art, development videos, and more to purchase.
