While Mortal Kombat 11 continues to roll out new characters, last weekend's closed beta offered the opportunity to go hands-on with a handful of characters that have already been revealed. Shacknews spent a good chunk of the weekend playing around with some of the game's most colorful characters, including the fearsome Tarkatan warrior, Baraka.

The video above offers a good look at what Baraka has to offer. This includes the different items, weapons, and "kosmetics" that players can equip when using the mighty long-toothed grappler. Players can change around what types of Arm Blades, Head Gears, and War Banners that Baraka can take into each fight, attaching different ones to each of his variations. Look like a true badass by carrying a flag with the Mortal Kombat logo into the arena.

Those looking to see what Baraka can actually do on the battlefield can watch our own Chris Jarrard in action. He took Baraka, among the other five playable characters in the beta, into the fight in our online beta gameplay video from earlier today. It should be noted that Baraka is quite different from previous incarnations of his character, so recognize when it's time to lay his banner down and, more importantly, get an idea of what the banner does. Lord knows I didn't when I jumped in with Baraka way back at the Mortal Kombat 11 reveal event.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
