Bullets flying everywhere, things exploding around you, vehicles exploding and flipping several times in the air before they land, it feels less like a game and more like a Michael Bay movie. The action is quite intense and over the top in this game. All of this may seem like a cliche had it been a desktop or console game but for a mobile game some of it is kinda cool. You have the usual run and gun element, cover shooting, sniper sections, slow motion taking out of enemies after you enter a room, shooting explosive cylinders to take out enemies, shooting enemies from the back of a Humvee at vehicles chasing you, shooting bullet in slow motion and following the bullet and controlling it until it hits your target, quick-time events, remote controlled drone attacks, basically every first person trope you can think of. Talking about actual gameplay, Gameloft has the full array of gameplay mechanics here. Other than the guns, you also have knives, grenades and a special drone that you can release in the air that scans the area and shows the position of all the enemies in the area, even through walls. You can carry two weapons at any given point. You can also customize your weapons by adding scopes, silencer, iron sight, ammo upgrade, muzzle upgrade, etc. Once you select your class, you’ll notice that the game has a wide array of weapons available. For example, heavy will take 10% less damage from explosives whereas assault gets 15% faster reload speed on primary weapons. The different classes have different default weapons and different skills. In terms of gameplay, you can choose to play as one of the several classes of soldiers, such as assault, heavy, recon, and sniper. The spec ops missions have these as well and depending upon how many objectives you complete you unlock additional items, such as weapons and weapon upgrades. The sub-missions aren’t particularly long either and each one has three optional objectives, such as getting a certain number of headshots, a certain number of explosion kills, melee kills, not letting your health get critical, etc. There are six chapters in total, with each chapter having a few main missions with several sub-missions, and a handful of spec ops missions, which are much shorter. It’s not really interesting and you honestly don’t care about anyone, not even the lead character you play as. The single player campaign has a story of sorts as before but it is a flimsy excuse for all the mayhem on the screen to take place. There is a single player campaign mode and a multiplayer mode, but I’ll get to the multiplayer later. However, there is a lot more happening now than before. Gameloft has decided not to mess around with a successful formula so in essence this is the same game as its predecessors. GameplayĪs with the previous games, Blackout is a first person game. Let’s see what Gameloft has in store for us this year. Last year’s Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour won several accolades and is heralded as one of the best games on the mobile platform. The Modern Combat series has taken it up a notch with every installment, with improved visuals, more explosive action and expanded gameplay options every time. The games have traditionally been based on warfare and very close in nature and style to the Call of Duty series of games on the PC and consoles. Modern Combat 5: Blackout is the latest installment in Gameloft’s series of first person action games.
