Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is an action-adventure game developed by Midway Studios Los Angeles and published by Midway Games. It was released in September 2005 for the PlayStation 2 console. Unlike traditional fighting games in the franchise, Shaolin Monks focuses on a story-driven narrative and beat 'em up gameplay, expanding on the lore established in Mortal Kombat II .

A defining feature is its seamless two-player co-op mode , which offers unique areas and interactions not accessible in single-player.

What sets this game apart is how it translates fighting game logic into a 3D world. You aren't just punching enemies; you are performing combos that launch foes into spikes, pits, and living trees.
