Bloons TD 6 Reviews

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).

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.

TLDR: game is great but double cash too expensive and doesn’t do what it says

This game is insanely fun to play. I got it when it first came out, then hadn’t played it in a few months but picked it back up recently and I haven’t been able to get off it. I came back and so much had changed, there was 2 new heroes, some new skins, buffs and nerfs, and overall it felt a lot better to play. Now I’m saying all this but why did I make it only 4 stars? I don’t like the changes to the monkey farm. It’s waaaaaayyy underwhelming compared to btd5. Yeah I guess I’m btd5 it was a little op but it was cut to maybe 30% of what it used to be which is way too much. Especially the fact that double cash mode doesn’t work on anything but popped bloons, unlike btd5. Now I got to lvl 83, have the chimps medal on all easy maps, all without double cash. I got a little bored and decided why not mess around a little and see how much money I could get by round 100 or 150 etc. but then I get into a game and realize I’m still getting 375 per banana crate (Monkey knowledge with 4,2,0 banana farm) and now I regret spending $18 on something that doesn’t do what it says. The description for the purchase is “doubles all cash earned in game forever” or something along those lines, like at least tell us it won’t count towards farms. X2 cash is already overpriced without working with farms so at least communicate what it will and will not do.

This game is amazing and I play almost every day. The hero’s are all unique and same for the monkeys, but I do think they should add more. The new hero’s are cool but I just think there should be more normal monkeys. If Ninja Kiwi can think of any new ideas that would be pretty cool. But that’s not the main topic, the main topic is to NERF THE DDT PLEASE! It’s so fast and even with the elite defender and a bunch of other really strong monkeys I still can’t defeat it. Well I’m specifically talking about round 95 though. Round 90 and 93 aren’t that bad. But seriously every time I see it I just have to spam all my abilities and hope for the best. Even on easy mode I still can’t get past round 95. The good thing is that you have to do free play to actually witness this craziness. But I always pick free play so I can get more XP for my monkeys. So either make the DDT’s slower but still not to slow, or just get rid of a few of the DDT’s on round 95 and maybe a couple other future rounds. Also one least thing is to make some of the upgrades cheaper. For example Crossbow master is just extremely expensive for like no reason. Same with every single stinking final upgrade! So just please make some cheaper. It’s still a great game and U can’t wait for new updates and stuff.

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.

Even though the many challenges, this game makes me happy in many ways like how the popping is in a whole new level while keeping the original way to play with some twists. But there is some problems. 1, the game starts to crash when you get into later levels (like around 40 something and higher). 2, the old monkeys like bloon chipper, engineer, and Gatling gun units didn’t need to get removed (I understand bloon chipper but the others didn’t needed to be removed. 2.5, if you re-add them you should do some 5th tier things like for Gatling gun ray of oblivion or for engineer, monkey money printing. 3, you should be able to use the excesse XP to upgrade upgrades (for example there should be level 1-5 and at max there could be a special upgrade like being able to pop lead balloons or rapid fire shooting like super monkey). If you don’t understand, make upgrades like ground zero or spiked mines have upgrades to them to make them cost less, be more effective, and be an all around opportunity to use the unspent XP. Finally 4, being able to get more knowledge points the further you rank up. Bonus, make it so you could upgrade knowledge areas so you could get things easier like XP or monkey money. So ninja kiwi if you see this I hope you could make this happen and make the game more better for bloon veterans.

“tHiS gAMe iS tOo HaRd” lol jk I love this game, I have every hero right now and find the game fun every day, I log in almost every day to get the daily chest and do the daily challenge, its soo fun, I even recently got my first hero skin, but aside from that you should definitely download this game, sure there is a price, but there are literally no ads, not one in sight! Pretty cheap too, there are in app purchases, but they’re not required, so people writing that this game is pay to win are just being dramatic, lots of things are unlocked with monkey money, something you get for beating maps for the first time on a certain difficulty, the higher the difficulty the more money, you still get monkey money for say beating a map on easy standard twice but not as much, I got every hero by grinding to get monkey money, the knowledge points are cool too, they unlock nice features like a free dart monkey and magic lives that regenerate every round when you don’t lose any lives. All in all this game is great, you should totally download and as you can tell this is no bot review, almost no cons to the game. This game is also still getting updates, so don’t worry about the game getting stale, just wait a bit or play the challenges in challenge browser, there is a LOT you can do.

Amazing game but I’ve beat every single level on every single mode and now I have virtually no way to earn cash which is really annoying. Please add tons of new maps and let fans make maps and add them in! Add more Monkeys please too! We need new towers already! Keep us looped in the game more!!

UPDATE: BTD6 DEVS Please Please Please put out a new update for us. All I ask is a way to reset the tokens or please just sync all btd5 maps and add them to btd6! That would be amazing and would add tons of new maps to play and tons of new badges to go for. I’ve gotten pretty much ever badge possible and the cash to earn is so minimal now it’s so hard to play. It would be phenomenal if you guys could add all the btd5 maps and make them a separate function in a separate area (or the same it’s up to y’all) and you guys could charge $2.99 or $3.99 for the map expansion and if possible you could even add some new maps to it too. All of us fans desperately just want more content. We love the game but we don’t have enough maps to play. Love you guys and thank you for all your hard work. Would be a blessing for me and the fans if you guys could please try to do this for us 💘🙏🏼.

This is a very great game, and I love it. It has a couple new additions and also removes some stuff that was in the last bloons td. So a quick bug, sometimes I crash randomly while playing, then when I try to re enter the game it loads up to step six, then crashes again. Eventually it starts working again, but still pretty annoying. Also you could add an actual fire monkey, not just a hero or upgrade. You can also add a tower where it summons a couple monkeys every once and a while that have a few health points and walk along the path starting from the end of the map to the start where the bloons come from. They could throw darts or something like that and pop bloons while walking. You could also add a cheaper rapid fire monkey, too. That would be cool. Maybe even an elemental monkey that has more than three upgrade paths, each containing a different element where once you upgrade a path you stick to it and can’t buy any other upgrade paths. Like a fire upgrade path, water, nature, dark magic, light magic, wind, ground, metal, lightning, you get the idea. There’s a couple of suggestions that might make the game a little more interesting. But yeah, great game.

Ok I don’t have much to say but you to have more speed buttons like 3x or 6x speed because when you get late game or you want to get pass those first rounds then there there needs to have like a skip for a 1k or 500$ because when I playing with my friend we have tons of money because I use banana farms and get them to top path that means I get lots of money and that money will be useless because your such low round you can just get something like a top path ninja plus mid path village then your fine for like 60 to 70(I am not sure) and that means we get bored really fast cuz when round 100 hits every round form there will take 10 to 5 minutes just so you can get by it and get f take 10 minutes that means every 6 rounds you will be spending an HOUR on the game not only that you have to deal with lag which means it take more time like plus 5 minutes and when you get to round 140 then you should just stop the game is meant for pc players but if you not like me and just wants to finish all the maps then your ok because that ez also just want to point out that 2x cash is really good but it should work for chimps because it cost 18$ so I it should work

Yes, I rate the game 5 stars. Why is that, well it is a good game all in all. But there is two things I’m concerned about. One is that once you get XP for all of the towers it’s boring so you should bring more towers like the balloon chipper and the Dartling/mini gunner.
Two the MK points that cost money are pointless, you are telling me that I have to spend my well earned money on MK and maybe you think I’m over reacting, but NO I’m not because most things you spend more cash then on some hero’s. Also I’m trying to Super Monkey XP and it’s too hard to get. I’m saying that I have been grinding for 3 days and I only have the tier 5 thing after Technological Terror and 47k XP, and maybe just maybe I’m over reacting. I’m gonna say the good things, first there is an insane money strategy with monkey buccaneers I got like 20k per round with like 14 of them, which really isn’t hard to get, you might need to nerf that though one time I got 1M cash and to round 170 just from those pirate ships and the monkey temple. ( Forgot to mention I have that.) One last thing there is no point for the monkey temple to give cash : ) . Anyways, this game is really good I hope other people can enjoy it too. Good bye.

I find myself playing this game every day it well crafted. I love the new designs for monkey’s, I like the new Druid and alchemist, I love how there three ways for upgrades. You guys did very good making it and it paid off. I think it’s worth the $5 it cost. It has only a few things that could be better. Which a few in my book is good because when I play other games I find like 20 things bad. First, for the new hero ezili I know she’s a voodoo monkey but it’s dumb how she takes away hearts when you place totems I. I almost lost when I realized totem took away my hearts. Second, for some hero's (Benjamin,ezili, captain church hill)I feel like there so much monkey money. Maybe like 1,500 for ezili and Ben and 1,000 for captain c. Finally in BTD6 the monkey engineer should be back. I would put it under military or support and I feel like it should be back because it was good and you use it a lot for like imagery but it’s not in the gameplay, you know? A few positives I love how the loading screen is fast now than it taking forever. I think it’s fare how hero’s are used once than more than once. And finally the third extra upgrade things are great. Like ninja monkey bomber and super monkey dark night. Again great game and I hope you listen to me and others.

Now that multiplayer is here the game is pretty much good. I just wish it was more money would be able to be collected during the game and the cost of towers was decreased. That would make the game MUCH more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong I love the game but it is a hell grind trying to get those 5th tiers. And I also hope the more monkeys are added. I know Hero’s are something that are frequently updated but nothing beats the monkeys. When the mortar and the engineer dropped it was like nothing before. Everyone was so interested and it felt like the game was brand new all over again. Like added a new magic monkey or just startling gun. It seems magic is the category with the least monkeys while military has way more seeing as there is so little monkeys but each monkey contains 3 paths so in its own sense has almost x3. So it would just be nice to be able to get 5th tiers easier and to have more monkeys. Also their is a big lagging problem for the online witch needs to be fixed. There should be some sort of connection test first because sometimes it’s killer. And I was also thinking it would be cool to have like 8 player raids where you take in like massive Bloons for epic rewards and stuff like that. Too keep the community interested and to make the game even more fun.

What I think you developers should do with the new boss Balloon ( I calling it boss balloon cuz I forgot how to spell its name) when the event is over make the boss balloon appear on round 190 or round 200 and also could you add the paragon into sandbox mode plz many people would like these ideas, oh right, could you add a orange balloon witch is immune to fire effects and would appear on round 39 or 41, also it wound turn into 2 leads and 1 purple baloon and could you add a new hero called one shot Danny ( level 5: gives Danny camo detection and can pop lead balloons) (level 10: can now pop purple balloons and can pop orange Bloons and shoots fire every 5 shots) (level 15: now gives defend class monkeys a bonus) (level 20: pops every balloon and does 3x as Much damage to MOAB class balloons as normal), ok now time for the new monkey class it adds a crusher which works like the bloom chipper but it can tear up Moab class balloons, speaking of balloon chipper he would now be it own special defend class, also the background color would be orange, now the last monkey would be shield monkey, he can be placed on the track poping all balloons except Moab class balloons and the top path tier 5 could pop Moab class balloons. Also plz add 1 or 2 more primary paragon towers

This updated version is way more challenging and has fixed a handful of quirks that made the later version annoying including the improved banana gathering, bananas are gathered by swiping the screen or by sweeping a monkey you are trying to place over a group of bananas. I love both versions but I see how much more in-depth this new one is and am so glad I bought it. Upgrading monkeys 5 times creates some serious bloon damage but only one max monkey of its kind per level adds to a much more complex strategy needed to beat even easy levels. And Hard levels have sneaky variations including magic monkey only, and mixed up bloon order that brings camo and lead bloons dangerously close to the start of the level. The new bloon knowledge points are hard-earned and even after weeks of playing for hours on end (I love these games!) I’ve barely scratched the surface of the upgrades available. New Heroes (one per level) add a boost of specialized popping power, from explosives to Molotov cocktails (plus the cheeky things they say) add a fun twist to the game. This game is updated with users in mind, including new levels and Heroes to boot. So, if you want a long-lasting game that equals hours upon hours of engaging fun that rivals the strategy of chess then this game is a good buy. Kids love it too!

No other tower defense game can come close to the depth, strategy, flawless mechanics, and cuteness of BTD6. I’ve played many tower defense games, and nothing can hold a candle to this one. The game is so much more strategic than any other tower defense game. Most other tower defense games simply have a variety of different towers, and a single line of upgrades for each one. BTD6 takes a much more interesting approach and adds not just two, but three upgrade paths for each different tower, allowing for endless combinations and strategies. Not only that, but the game adds much more interesting gameplay by adding interactive maps and tracks. Many maps on the game to play in have special abilities and interactions that are specific to that map. For instance, the map “Lotus Island” has several lotus blossoms that take several rounds to bloom. When fully grown, they can be interacted with to burst and stun nearby Bloons. Little abilities and secrets that maps hold add much more depth to the game. The game is innovative, creative, and unique. You can definitely tell that Ninja Kiwi put a lot of love into this game. The strategy, depth, and cutesy style of the game all blend together perfectly. This is most certainly one of the best mobile games out there.

I have started playing Bloons a few years ago. To be exact, it was Bloons TD Battles. Then i saw that this game was there. You know, I downloaded it. I love this game! The 3D looks, the awesome upgrades, the variety of different monkey styles, and much more! Basically if you are reading this review to see what the game is like, then your on the perfect review. So you start with a tutorial, teaching you how to play the game. If you have played Bloons TD Battles or Bloons TD 5, then you must know the monkeys. Some monkeys, not too many, are not in this game. But there are 2 new monkeys, Alchemist, and Druid. So you have to level up in order to earn the towers. You start with no upgrades on the towers, but the more you use them, you gain more XP on them, and you spend the XP on getting new upgrades. Each monkey has 15 upgrades. To be precise, there are 3 paths, each path with 5 upgrades. So you only choose 1 path, but you can get the first 2 upgrades on any other path, but you cant get ANY upgrades on the 3rd path. There are differ maps, difficulties, and these things called challenges, or basically player - made games or challenges, you can call it. So overall, great game, great gameplay, and thank you for taking your time to read this review! 😉

I’ve played this game since it’s existence, and I’ve completed most chimps(hardest difficulty). One thing that I’ve noticed in the game is that I’m constantly asking myself “what’s the fun way to complete this challenge” apples to asking “how can I complete this challenge.” This is because in every game mode on every map outside of expert maps have obvious solutions to every problem with easy to use towers(Super Monkey, Ninja, Alchemist, etc). Throughout most of my journey through this game I’ve only ever had to use roughly 10 different tier 5 towers that breakdown to 5-6 different general strategies to complete Chimps on almost any every map, even though there are 50+ tier five towers. Much of the time I’m trying to find fun ways to do things instead of trying to solve “how” do I do something. It’s a lot like building a gaming PC, and deciding to blow 10% of your budget on RGB lighting; definitely the fun way to do it, but can likely lead to later regrets.

Either way, this is just a slight critique on an excellent game that you should definitely purchase.

P.S. Don’t overuse Ninjas and Super Monkeys, because they aren’t any fun to use, and don’t use any creativity. There’s so much to explore in this game that is sadly overlooked by a few easy to use towers, I.e don’t use those towers to often.

The best mobile game I have ever played, I enjoy it so much, and bought it on my computer as well. It is a must have. My one advice is I feel that they try and encourage you for in app purchases, it’s fine for this game because it certainly doesn’t feel like your hitting a brick wall, as I have like one hundred hours in this game and still enjoy it without paying a penny of in app purchases, to ninja kiwi, I just hope they steer off the in app purchases in the next game like the 2x cash and make the in app purchases more similar to the btd 5 (also which I loved). I don’t like that you work for it when you can get it instantly by paying the price. It’s fine for this game but my hopes is that they do not go into in app purchases more into btd 7. I would rather pay a higher price for the game itself with no in app purchases then a small price but with in app purchases. I still think this game is a must have I simply just hope that they don’t continue making games more implementing in app purchases into their games till one time it may feel you are hitting a brick wall the more you go. In the end I love the game, the heroes, and monkeys and graphics all improved greatly from the last game, and wether or not you played the last game, this is a must HAVE.

All of the balloon games are great but this one stands on top because there’s a verity of monkeys balloons upgrades and even hero’s. And the upgrades go up to 3 rows 5 upgrades in each row.
And there’s not to many tower defense games out there but you guys took it to advance and plus I love tower defense games and if it has Monkeys! In it it’s a million times better. It doesn’t give you adds and it’s great to play when you bored or every day. My goal right now is to get a bunch of black borders. And even challenges and multiplayer are in the game to! And now paragon towers to how much BETTER COULD THIS GAME GET! And you can get trophies from Winning odyssey’s and once you have those trophies you can buy bonuses like pets for your towers skins for your projectiles and more. Multiple difficulty and modes to. You can’t get enough of this game.

P.S some things didn’t make any sense like the black borders this happens when you win every mode on a map so a black border will appear around the maps outline. And a another example for this is the odyssey this is a series of challenges that when you complete you get handsomely reward with trophies a tower and money how much you get is depending on your difficulty your playing on. And paragon towers are a tier 6 tower that basically means it’s the best.

The game is incredible at the beginning. New hero towers, the steady stream of unlocks is great and you’re constantly rewarded for playing. When I first started playing, this game was all I could think about. I would be at work waiting for just a moment I could spend on this game to level up and get the next unlock. Now, I haven’t touched the game in over a week. The late game is non-existent. Monkey Bucks are spent on almost nothing in the game, other than next-to-useless power ups (except for Monkey Farmers), and the “tech” tree is strewn about randomly with seemingly no thought or order to the upgrades they provide. There’s no way to specialize or to really find a good combo that works for you because there is only one or two weak upgrades for most of the towers, meaning if you unlock all the research trees your towers will all be just slightly better. Beyond that, the daily challenges offer crap for rewards since monkey bucks are useless and the “Extra” monkeys they give you to spend for free are a silly idea anyways. Nobody wants free monkeys. Not only does it feel like cheating but it’s a very cheap way to make the levels easier by just placing free, already-upgraded monkeys. Let us specialize like in BTD5, and give us more sensible upgrades.

Incredible execution on the start, poor execution on the late game.

This game is very good like the other games in the series, but is missing a few things. First, since this version of the game is on mobile, this game really needs to have a smart placement added for towers so that when you are trying to squeeze a tower into a tight space the game will automatically place the tower in an available place if your finger is holding a tower just outside an acceptable place to put the tower. I can spend a long time trying to get a tower somewhere that will flicker from red to white but keep not being able to drop it in the white area because the screen is so small that just a small rotation of my finger will cause the tower to move back into the red zone.
Second, two of my favorite towers, the Dartling Gun and the Monkey Engineer, are missing from this game.
Finally, while some towers got buffer from BTD 5, the Banana Farms were nerfed drastically. Instead of taking 7-8 rounds to get your money back from building a farm when upgraded to Tier 4 it now takes 14 rounds. It’s almost better to use Monkey Buccaneers and Sniper Monkeys since they can give money and pop Bloons.
Overall, I give this game 4/5 Stars as it is right now. The issue with placing towers is the reason I don’t give this game 5/5 Stars, but the other two things I mentioned should be addressed also. I hope this review helps both players and the developers.
