Modern Combat 5 is a free first-person shooter from Gameloft SE, built around team modes like Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Push the Payload, plus a solo campaign. It offers more than 10 classes to choose from and is rated Mature 17+.
Free to play, with ads and paid random items
The game is free, but it carries both advertising and in-app purchases. Third-party ads may send you to an outside site, and some purchases are paid random items.
The game needs an internet connection, so there is no offline mode to fall back on. Android 7.0 is the minimum supported version.
Classes, game modes and the Tokyo to Venice campaign
Players pick from more than 10 classes, and you can customize and level them up. The online side covers Team Deathmatch, Capture the flag, Push the Payload and a free-for-all Battle Royale, plus ranked PvP. Regular new events add fresh challenges.
A single-player campaign sends you through one dire situation after another to save the world. The game also sits in the controller games category.
