    Modern Combat 5 is probably one of the best FPS games for iOS, but that doesn't make up for its flaws. With constant crashes, the game is frustrating at times, which really makes things just bad.

With constant crashes, the game is frustrating at times, which really makes things just bad. For progression in this game, its one of the hardest things to do without spending too much. The energy system forces you to stop playing every 10 minutes, then has you wait for 30 more to reach full recharge. To add on, the requirements for chapters to be unlocked are very difficult to fulfill. To me, the dev's Modern Combat 5 has done everything right, but just ruined the game for the sake of you emptying your wallet.… Expand

    I remember playing this years ago. I actually had some hope in mobile gaming back them.

    The game was nice. Ok campaign, nice multiplayer. Then, it changed a lot to survive in the market. Unfortunately, it killed him. But yeah, i have a lot of nice memories from the good times.

    Modern Combat 5 has the chops to go toe-to-toe with any big budget FPS. Well implemented touch control assists, deep customisation and heart-pumping action set Modern Combat 5 into the elite company of the best first-person shooters on iPad. [Episode 7, September 2014]

    Modern Combat 5 delivers a shocking blow right after you launch the campaign as it turns out to be a hack job. Instead of traditional levels peppered with checkpoints and scripted cinematics as in previous MC games, you’re treated to a poor man’s version of Dead Trigger.

    The game has wonderful graphics and an intuitive gameplay. In the app there are many missions and many game modes. There are no in-app purchases and the game requires a persistent internet connection. The controls are very simple and the game offers many hours of gameplay.
