In the intro, it is revealed that Quan Chi was able to escape the Netherrealm, using the amulet he had stolen from Shinnok. Scorpion, fueled with homicidal rage, grabbed Quan Chi at the last minute, bringing him to the realm alongside him. The Wilhelm scream can also be heard in the Krypt.ДЄt the end of Mortal Kombat 4 (which is Scorpion's canon ending), the sorcerer Quan Chi revealed himself as the murderer of Scorpion's family and clan, before attempting to send him back to the Netherrealm.

This is nod to a long-standing joke/urban legend that gamers will wear nappies to keep from having to take restroom breaks at crucial times. One of the unlockable items from the Krypt is a CGI bag of adult nappies (complete with advertisement text). Some Koffins contained koins that could be used towards other Koffins, others contained hints as to where highly sought after items were located, and others were even empty. Also included amongst the Koffins were various videos, images, concept sketches, and the entire Mortal Kombat Collector's Edition comic book. The Krypt included unlockable characters, arenas, and alternative costumes. Each Koffin had a different designated price, listed in a number (anywhere from 1 up to the thousands) and color (Gold, Ruby, Sapphire, Jade, Onyx, and Platinum) of koins that were needed to purchase the opening of the Koffin. The Koffins were filled with a vast number of secrets and unlockables available only through that game. The Krypt consisted of 676 Koffins arranged in a square format with each designated alphabetically by a two-letter designation (AA - ZZ). The game has a 'Krypt', where the player can buy extras with koins earned in regular play and in Konquest mode. Upon completing each mission (of a starting difficulty for each character that increases per mission), the player is rewarded with a number of koins that can be utilized to open Koffins in the Krypt and unlock secrets in the game.

The characters Blaze and Mokap can only be unlocked by completing all stages of Konquest.

Each series comes with text instructions that include a basic storyline that delves further into each character's backgrounds and motives. After completing eight initial kombat tasks with Sub-Zero, the player is instructed to complete a specific set of tasks with each character, which vary from pulling off difficult combos to defeating opponents. In between each sequence, a video of a monk moving between various locations on the path of Konquest is shown, but this has no actual bearing on the gameplay itself other than to simulate the sense of a journey. Konquest mode consists of a series of missions to complete with each of the characters. To prevent fighters from leaving the arena, invisible 'energy walls' appear when a fighter is knocked against the edge.Дeadly Alliance also introduces a 'Konquest' mode, which expands on the storyline and acts as a tutorial for each character. However, while still limited to only moving into the background and foreground, movement in the third dimension is much easier and can be used continuously (in Mortal Kombat 4, one sidestep could be performed at a rate of about one a second). Running, as well as the running meter, have been dropped. The number of special moves per character (usable in any fighting style) has also been reduced, varying only from two to four for most, thus forcing the player to make use of the improved fighting system. In previous games, aside from 'dial-a-combos' all the characters fought virtually identically, with only special moves to differentiate them. Different from its predecessors, each character now possesses three individual fighting styles consisting of two martial arts and one weapon (excepting Blaze and Mokap, who received three martial arts and no weapon) which players can switch between with the push of a button. It is credited with reviving the Mortal Kombat series.

The gameplay is regarded as a full 'reboot' of the gameplay style of the franchise. Like all of the Mortal Kombat games, Deadly Alliance focuses heavily on its fighting modes.
