The tricky bit is you also need to earn individual character XP through simply playing the game as well as use your in-game currency to upgrade your players. This way you can continue to play as long as you like, you just won't be able to unlock new characters or earn your cash until you can open a new loot box.

Luckily there is no energy system tied to the gameplay. You can either wait for the timer to run out or pay in-game currency to remove the timer altogether. But you see, these are not your average loot boxes, as they have a timer tied to their access. What really drags down the gameplay is the fact that your advancement is tied to loot boxes that unlock new characters and earn you currency.

Now, in the larger scheme of things dumbed-down controls and a missing single player mode are not this game's biggest issue. Essentially anyone who enjoyed the single player experience in the previous Modern Combat titles no longer matters in Gameloft's eyes. While this is not necessarily the worst news, it is another 'feature' that lessens the game when compared to prior offerings. The entire game is played online as a 4x4 team-based multiplayer shooter. The second glaring omission from this title is the fact that there is no story mode. While I can understand that a manual fire mode is difficult to control on a touchscreen, maybe that is a sign that the FPS genre isn't the best to play on mobile unless there's an option to play with a controller, which of course Modern Combat Versus does not offer. Luckily you can add the manual fire button back from within the game's settings.

But everything else about this title leaves a lot to be desired.įirst off, the default controls have been dumbed down to the point that your gun now auto-fires for you as long as your target is within your sights. I mean sure, the game's graphics look fantastic.
