Modern Combat 5 is finally here and Gameloft seems to be delivering pretty much everything on its checklist. Gorgeous graphics, fast-paced multiplayer and engaging single player modes, and anything else you’d expect from the top-rated FPS Android game. And there are absolutely no in-app purchases to ruin the experience!
There are undoubtedly many FPS games on Android, but none probably reach the same popularity as Gameloft’s Modern Combat series. It’s not hard to see, given the developers’ attention to detail, especially when it come to graphics. Modern Combat 5 boasts of console-quality graphics, without even requiring a Tegra K1 Unreal Engine 4 combo. But don’t take our word for it, you can view the in-game shots in the teaser trailer below.
One theme that seems to be pervasive in this latest version of the game is “play the way you want”. Want to dish out some action with your friends? There’s a squad vs squad multiplayer mode, which includes leaderboards and global chats. Prefer to fight alone? The solo campaign promises a spine-chilling story to keep you hooked. And you don’t even have to worry about keeping tabs on either mode, as the unified progression system ensures you’re gaining XP playing either mode. You can choose among four classes, made up of Assault, Heavy, Recon and Sniper, to suit your style.
Modern Combat 5 costs $6.99 on Google Play Store, which isn’t exactly much, especially when you consider that, unlike some paid games, even the previous Modern Combat titles, this one comes with no IAPs. Weapons, powers, and everything are all in the game already and accessible simply by playing the game. It’s a business model that many mobile gamers will most likely appreciate, especially when buying a quality title such as this.
Thank you Gameloft. In the past, your “free” games have been abhorrently limited with IAPs. But, before you went that route, your “paid” games were excellent (Dungeon Hunter 2 was excellent – wish you’d make it work for more recent phones). This is a nice release that I’ll definitely pick up.
