Contact Bloons TD 6 Support

by VWilcox

This game is beautiful and runs smoother than ever. It has most of the bloontastic fun you expect, and features a lot of variety… but left me missing TD 5. Tower powers are now in three branches which adds a small amount of variety not worth the loss of basic function of the towers in most cases. Map design is on par with previous versions, but towers now have a larger footprint which particularly frustrates the play style of covering the land in farms to build top end towers… you still can, but you will have to go deep into free play for the heck of it in most cases. Worse, progression with monkey points is inappropriately slow with higher levels having huge xp requirements so you’ll buy them… but for the tiniest advantages, and how numerous hey are, they are clearly tuned to leech money out of people with spending problems not for players looking to advance with a challenge. I purchased a number of options on TD 5, but no purchases on TD 6 make any sense to me — I would pay $20 for a half cost mode to have fun, bot not $80+ for minuscule monkey point advantages. The map challenge modes are a bit different but become very repetitive with that huge xp requirement I mentioned. Still worth playing just sadly misses out on its full potential. I uninstalled the game before reaching max level, but this is by NO means a Plants vs Zombies 2 kind of micro transaction debacle…. Just has some shades of that.

This game is alright. Worth the $5, but nothing innovative or getting me excited for updates. Balancing seems poor as well, many useless towers and upgrades.

Pros: I like that they added line of sight around objects to make it more difficult (but you shouldn’t be allowed to buy them away). The new towers and upgrades are interesting. Same Bloons gameplay you expect, solid TD game.

Cons: The 5th tier upgrades are too expensive and you will rarely reach them (or at most 1) in your games unless you go into free play. The banana farms are useless as they take too long to become profitable. There needs to be a faster game speed option, the single increased speed is still way too slow (would be okay with turning off 3D for a faster speed, I care more about gameplay than visuals). Many of the upgrades seem useless, or far weaker than others. Game is too easy overall. Usually end up with the same strategy used on every map, there is no incentive to utilize other towers (except the water level). Leveling up takes too long, so getting the powers is very slow, and many of the powers are crappy or for non-optimal upgrades, would prefer more generic powers for tower type (tower is cheaper, attacks X% faster, etc.) instead of being tied to an upgrade path. Need a way to reset powers at will. Should be more challenges than just one a day, should have a large set (like BTD5).

Oh boy me again with another review. Must be bad right? No, after I stopped being a little brat about these heroes and actually decided to start trying to get them (I have them all as of now), and the grind was boring let’s just point that out. Not that I don’t enjoy playing the game, a good round 100 run is fun every now and then, but just to the heroes, it was a boring grind. I do enjoy some of them as a matter of fact and hate myself for complaining and not trying sooner. But the skins were highly unnecessary. Then again I’ll never get them so what am I complaining for? Anyways next topic, when are there to be the return of the Engineer, Bloonchipper, and the Dartling Gun? Seriously, we still have less towers on there than BTD5, and the heroes don’t apply to that category since they’re their own system. Plus with the whole achievement on your list that is win 10 games using only Support towers seems impopable (ha ha, did that) and it should be obvious Engie and the Chipper would be in the Support class. To add along is the want for the return of Odyssey or Two-Player modes on this. All I ask is that there needs to be something more added to the list rather than the lonesome solo and Races (competition, don’t enjoy it as much as cooperation). Or make something new and exciting. Conclusion, love the game still as a day one buyer but would enjoy to see some things return and some new things added.
