Game Review: Modern Combat 5 (iOS/Android)

Welcome to the new generation of mobile games. If you're from the snake game era, prepare to be amazed by the incredible graphics of Modern Combat 5: Blackout. MC5, is a first-person shooter game developed and published in 2014 by Unbeatable Gameloft. The game is available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and even BlackBerry 10. You can have fun in solo campaigns or multiplayer battles.

Interface / Graphics

The graphic evolution of mobile games is impressive. Modern Combat is certainly a reference in this regard.

Check out some below screenshots:

Difficulty

The sophistication of the game is amazing how easy it is to play. Crouching, jumping, kicking, reloading, switching weapons and even killing with the famous knife is easy. Modern Combat does not require any special hand-eye coordination skills and can be played by anyone.

Gameplay

The game is divided into Chapters and these chapters are made up of operations which in turn are made up of some short missions. The fact that the missions are small makes the gameplay much easier.

To proceed in the game it is necessary to have completed the previous chapter. To play Chapter 3, for example, you must have completed all Chapter 2 missions.

But for each game played, an amount of energy is consumed. And when does the power run out? You have to wait for it to reload, which is a very negative point in the game.

When you level up your energy bar is automatically refilled.

In Modern Combat 5 soldiers are divided into 5 classes:

• Assault: Boosts damage and carries more ammo. Use assault rifles and pistols. They are effective for mid-range combat. You will play a lot with them at the beginning of the game.
• Heavy: Uses machine guns and rocket launchers. They are effective in close quarters combat. Unlocked at level 25.
• Recon: Focused on quick actions and enemy discovery. Use submachine guns and pistols. They are effective in medium and close range combat. Your first mission is with this soldier class.
• Sniper: masters of the straight shot or stealth approaches. Use snipers and pistols. Effective in mid-range and long-range combat. It is unlocked at level 10.
• Support: Specialized in healing companions and helping them reintegrate into the place they died. Armed with machine guns and pistols. They are effective in medium and long-range combat. They are unlocked at level 50.

For every soldier you have 8 skills to improve.

Multiplayer

As usual with single games that have multiplayer campaigns, I found maps where the two teams were not complete. And for a change there is no division of battles by level. So you beginner will face other heavily equipped players at level 50. Good luck in battle.

History

Caydan Phoenix is our main character and company agent Gilman Security, one of the largest private security companies in the world.

The game begins with Phoenix informing his superior, Sophie "Roux" Daviau, that three weeks ago the World Liberation Army launched a cyber attack on several Asian networks.

And that's when Roux says that all world leaders are meeting to discuss cybersecurity and asks what all this has to do with the attack on Venice the previous month (which is the prologue mission).

Phoenix, informs you that the attack was just a cover. And that he was forced to sign the mission report because his daughter's life had been threatened. After the mission Phoenix meets Roux at Gilman's Tokyo HQ and says that the company they work for is a front for the World Liberation Army. And that they've been working for the terrorists all this time. At that moment the HQ is attacked and the action begins.

Replayability/Game Duration

The game has the main story, multiplayer matches and events which will provide many hours of gameplay.

Cost X benefit

The game is currently free to play and has in-app purchases. in-app and of course you can play without spending a single penny on the game. can be downloaded to iOS, Android e Windows Phone.

Conclusion

It's definitely an amazing game, I would certainly spend hours playing it if there wasn't a bug, which so far hasn't been fixed, where the Chapterhello 3 it just doesn't unlock even though you've completed all the missions in Chapter 2. Let's pray that the bug is fixed.
