In MK: Apocalypse you choose one out of five characters to begin the game. These characters differ in powers and your choice decides the course of the game. While you fight in about 25 level, you'll meet 4 other characters who will folow and help you where needed.

Developing the qualities of your characters doesn't happen in the way of a standard rpg. No giving away of points to various skills and qualities this time. If you use a specific technique alot, you'll develop this skill much faster, like in Oblivion. Freshening !
