Modern Combat 5: Blackout boasts an impressive feature that ensures you unlock additional classes, weapons, and other customization options whether you play solo or in multiplayer.

This means that even if you never touch multiplayer until you're finished with the single-player campaign, you can still increase your stats until you're satisfied. You'll want to devote some small blocks of time to the game in order to level up your character, and experience is distributed evenly throughout both modes no matter which you choose to play. The stop-and-pop mechanics are satisfying as well, especially when it comes to level organization. But while the narrative is paltry compared to that of "big budget" shooters, it's engaging enough to sustain a single-player campaign that's divided into bite-sized chunks.įor shooter fans who simply don't have the time or patience to engage in hardcore multiplayer matches all the time, this is a nice boon. It carries players along nicely - at least until they feel confident enough to tackle multiplayer. It's clear at the onset that Blackout's single-player campaign is impressively fleshed-out, despite the played-out narrative. That's where you come in: righting all these wrongs and clearing his name with guns. After Phoenix is inevitably set up, he finds out that the international security agency who sent him in is up to no good - in fact, it's acting as a front for an international terror organization.


Players take up the role of Caydan Phoenix, an ex-marine who was deployed into Venice to tackle an uprising sweeping the area. This fifth entry is certainly an improvement that demonstrates what can be done within the mobile genre. The latest entry, Modern Combat 5: Blackout, raises the bar even higher, despite still having some of its own setbacks. Gameloft is responsible for bringing us some of the most polished and frenetic mobile shooters for the iOS platform in the form of Modern Combat.
