Q: What is the purpose of the MK1 screen reader?

A: The MK1 screen reader is an accessibility feature designed mainly for players who are hard of seeing. Upon starting the game, it reads out menu names, option titles, and other on-screen text. While it's beneficial for visually impaired players, it can be used by anyone. However, its robotic tone might make it challenging to understand at times.

Q: How can players manage the MK1 screen reader settings?

A: You can toggle the MK1 screen reader on or off in the settings menu, specifically under the accessibility tab on the main menu. Additionally, the audio volume of the screen reader can be adjusted in the same menu. There's also a Descriptive Audio option, which provides detailed audio descriptions of story mode cutscenes, Fatal Blows, and Fatalities.

Q: Are there other audio feedback options available in Mortal Kombat 1?

A: Yes, Mortal Kombat 1 offers various assists for extra audio feedback. These include audio cues indicating the distance between fighters, health meters, a player's position in relation to the game's corners, the type of attack landed, and a player's defensive stance. The game also features a tab for Invasions that provides guidance on potential movements and path blockages. These audio assists, especially the hit type feedback, can be valuable for all players to better understand fast-paced gameplay and character matchups.
