The 8 best mobile device military games
SUMMARY
Mobile gaming is awesome, and all the rage. Here are 8 great military ones:
1. Modern Combat 5: Blackout
Good graphics and an awesome storyline for mobile combine with player vs. player modes to make MC5: Blackout a gem. Be warned though, the game gives an even larger than normal advantage to those players who use in-app purchases to get better equipment.
2. Call of Duty: Strike Team
Call of Duty: Strike Team allows the player to control a fire team of special operators as they seek out those responsible for a surprise attack on the U.S. in 2020. In both first and third-person mode, it features great graphics and gameplay, but the settings all start to look the same after a few missions.
3. Battle Supremacy
Battle Supremacy focuses on tank warfare from World War II. It's graphics are great for a mobile game and features player vs. player combat. Players can use cover and concealment and the maps are large enough to allow for some real strategy.
The player can also use planes or rocket-ships in a couple of instances.
Available on: iOS
4. Arma Tactics
A turn-based strategy game that centers around a four-man Special Forces team, Arma Tactics drops the player into modern combat. The game features a campaign mode as well as randomized levels so there's always something new to play.
5. Sky Gamblers: Cold War
Pitting MiGs against Harriers is always fun. Sky Gamblers: Cold War allows players to control one of 17 different planes in high-speed combat against other players or computer opponents.
Available on: iOS
A World War II version is available on iOS and Android.
6. SAS: Zombie Assault 4
It's all in the title. Drop in as a single SAS operative or join a squad of four elite soldiers battling the undead. SAS: Zombie Assault 4 is a topdown shooter that keeps it simple, gratuitously violent, and fun.
7. Star Wars: Commander
Build a base and marshall forces in this strategy game set in the Star Wars universe. You can choose which side to fight for and raise armies of storm troopers or Rebel soldiers along with a selection of vehicles and spaceships.
8. Frontline Commando
Frontline Commando is an older game that pits the player as a sole survivor of an attack against the entire army of the dictator who killed his team. This third-person shooter has lots of weapons and power-ups to try and the storyline can keep you entertained for hours. Unfortunately, there's no multiplayer.
