Bloons TD Battles Reviews

Okay, this is a fun game, don’t get me wrong. It would be a lot more fun if the game wasn’t a) so expensive, and b) it would pair you with people that are the same experience as you. I’m not very good at this game, I’ll admit it. I’m only playing it for fun. But it’s not very fun when I get paired with someone that has spent money on this game, has more medals than me (I’m talking 50+), and is more advanced than I am. I basically get demolished every time and that’s even playing I’m the lowest “arena” you can play in. What’s happening is a bunch of the bigger players go in and farm for medals in the lower arenas and wipe out anyone like me. It’s extremely frustrating. I just want to play the game without losing every time. The only reason I’m losing is because of those players doing that. Another thing is, the game asks if you’d like to pay five medals to get into the game or watch a video and get in for free basically. Every time I try to watch the video, it doesn’t do anything and loads basically but never shows the video. So I end up having to pay in the end. If you want to put your own money into this, this is the game for you. If you just want to have a fun game, don’t even bother downloading.

I play on an iPad, so the buttons are not small. When I need to quickly collect money from a BIA or sell so towers quickly. I just place my finger over the collect or sell button and then tap the towers alternating between the tapping towers and either the collect or sell button. What I came to realize, is that these buttons only work half the time. You have to have to be absolutely pinpoint and press EXACTLY in the middle of the button to get the action. As I said, I play on an iPad so these buttons are not small. Also, the powers are totally terrible. They have ruined the game. Multiple other reviews agree with this. Quick shot ceramic and team tower stun or knockout and that’s it. Finally, there is no customization or settings at all to adjust things to how you like. ON PC, you can place and upgrade towers while sending eco. You cannot do that on mobile. Plus, the tower doesn’t auto select for an upgrade after placing it, meaning you have to press the tower right after placing to upgrade it. Overall, this used to be a fun game, but now has just become a frustration and a waste of time. I would not recommend it if you value your time, or sanity.

I redownloaded this game to see if anything has changed and it’s not. Still just a cash grab. I’ve realized this is their entire strategy. You make this game unfair and are extremely lack on cheaters so it makes you want to play by yourself. The issue with that is you have to pay for the game you actually want to play that’s by yourself and the response they gave last time was just “Oh well sorry you didn’t like but we’re not going to change it.” Was literally their response to a valid ask. It’s unfortunate that this is the world. Every corner you go to it’s just greedy at the worse. This company and many others act like this is an extremely hard business when their are people who make 10x better games in half the time and it’s what people ACTUALLY want to play. They listen to their customers. I know that soon things like this will come to an end. Players are just going to stop playing game that creators are only in it for the money side of it and the saddest part is. If I made a game similar to this cause it would take under 3 months to do. Y’all would immediately sue me. I’m not going to don’t worry but y’all can make a game in less than a month and don’t. That’s sad.

First off let me get started with how bad the game is when it comes to producing money in game when in battle, in the original you produce money for every pop your towers count, but in this crappy version of the game you need to spend a lot of money to get more money. I literally have more losses than wins, plus the stupid medallion system is a joke. I’d rather play the PC version of the game where it easier to produce money. Another thing that needs to be changed is the pricing on every thing ( with in game currency) because just to enter a game and have a 2% chance of winning is not fair. And the battle system needs a remake, the game should have players battle other players with the same rankings or at least the same towers or even the same amount of experience. Because the game matches me up with F* players with fully maxed out towers nearly all the time. Some thing that needs to be changed is the fact that there is too much of a limit is carrying only 3 or four towers if you can afford it with F* energy. Now this is a laughing stock here, F* energy! Please change these.

The game is fun and competitive when you aren’t getting harassed by players using toxic power loadouts. I don’t know why Ninja Kiwi thought it would be a good idea to allow someone to make your defense just stop working with a touch of a button, but that is what they did with sabotage powers. Quick shot has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Why would it be ok for a balloon to fly past my defense in half a second? The fact that you can use Salted Wounds to profit off of these powers makes everything even worse. Their are no low tier Boost Only arenas and Old School is so hidden that it’s rare to find more than 75 people playing there. In addition, Old School has terrible match-making and no reward for playing. Long story short, getting rid of toxic powers, especially sabotage, could balance the game and reward players that actually have skill. Alternatively, giving newer players the ability to play in good Boost Only/Old School arenas would be nice instead of watching 200% speed balloons fly past their sabotaged defense.

I have been playing this game for almost a year now and I’ve noticed some minor problems. First, game modes that have powers can be a problem for lower level players. Some high level players have OP powers doubling balloon speed or something similar. These powers can be very frustrating for lower levels because they cannot get them. You would have to grind constantly just to get a couple good powers because they’re so expensive. I think that they should make the powers less game controlling and focus more on the towers. Second, I’ve recently started having this problem where I cannot get into a game. This is actually why I am writing this review. Every time I try to get in a game it will just say “farming bananas” for a couple minutes. I don’t know why it does this because before when I’ve played the game I would get into a game in around 30 seconds. This is a major problem for me because I’m currently around 30,000 medallions and I cannot get any more. I worked very hard to get those and now it’s just going to waste because I can’t use them to get into arena games. My favorite thing about this game is the idea of using your medallions to unlock new levels to towers and new towers. It keeps the player wanting to get the tower and play the game even more. Overall I think this is a very good game other than the glitch of me not even being able to play it. Im not sure if this happens to other people but I think it needs to be fixed.

Not saying this game is terrible but btd 5 is way better. I read this one guys review (TonTiger606) and I agree with him, some things in the game are just a bit too costy. One thing is the banana farmer. It’s kind of a rip off paying 100 medallions for the monkey farmer which you can only use once per match. Could you at least make it 40 medallions just like in btd 5? Also, this game glitches too much. I was doing a battle with someone and they had 6 health left and I had something over 100 then the “really hard” round (round 63 on btd 5, the one where it send three stacks of ceramics) came and the bloons on his side stopped for a split second then continued and he should have died first because he has 6 lives left but he didn’t. Now this isn’t that big of a deal because it was just a normal battle I was rematching with someone but the point is, if that would have been an arena battle and I lost a bunch of medallions from that, I wouldn’t be too happy. Long review short- this game needs some fixing, until then, I’m gonna be spending most of my time on btd 5

*edit* also, make it where you can’t send MOAB class bloons so early. It makes no sense that i have one of them already coming at me and I’m struggling to defend. Make it to where you can only send a certain type of bloon when the round it comes on comes because it makes no sense that BFBs can be spawned like 20 rounds before the Game sends one

Let me first off say this game is amazing. I spend a lot of time on it which is probably why I have developed a love/hate relationship with it. I love the concept of pvp Bloons. Being a BTD5 and 6 fan I love that this time it’s against players rather than the computer. However I think it’s a little ridiculous how early you can send Moab’s. It happens so much when your playing battle arenas when players are so annoying and give you 12 Moab’s on round 20. It ruins arenas for me and that’s why I don’t frequently play them. Normal games are fun players typically like long games but you don’t get enough money from normal games and I just want to enjoy arenas. All I’m saying is that you should move Moab’s back to round 30 or something because the first red Moab comes like 15 rounds later then when you can send them and it’s really annoying. Or just remove Bloon sends from arenas peirod. But this defiantly is my favorite game on my phone and I hope I can see it do better.

Please help this game is really fun but for some reason my sound randomly stopped working and it’s kinda annoying. It’s not because my phone is on silence I checked that the sound effects work but the music option doesn’t work at all anymore super annoying on all my friends devices running the same iOS and same game version it works fine I have tried to restart my phone refresh my ram and nothing it’s just BloonsTDBattles please if you know anything to fix it tell me if it weren’t for this it would have been 5 stars

Edit never mind I was just playing the game and the sound randomly started working again. I have seen a few reviews about other people having this problem as well I would say give it some time and it will work deleting and reinstalling like the other methods I tried above also don’t work so don’t waste your time on that. I guess I’m changing this to 5 stars now that it’s working 😂👍

Hi I’ve been playing BTD for a long time, I’ve deleted it and downloaded it multiple times. The only reason for that, is because it’s hard to get good when there are players out there who are better then you. And the only way to practice and get better is by playing other players. Now my question is, is it possible to do an update where the players can practice against bots? For example, it wouldn’t cost nothing, and you wouldn’t get any medallions if you beat the bot, and it would go from beginner-expert, and even possibly have all the powers maxed out so we could see what type of tree we would want to go into. And what kind of rotation you would want, when going up against actual players. Sort of like COD how they have bots you can go up against. This is just my thought, it would make the game a lot better, I think. And possibly less frustrating for those who are having a tough time trying to get better.

So today i launched the game, and it completely signed me out. It told me welcome to the game, and the tutorial. I had club, every single monkey fully leveled, over 9000 medallions, and i just wanted to play with my brother. I tried relogging, and it said no email registered. What the hell happened? When i tried to relog, it gave me two accounts. Both with zero experience and fifty medallions. I thought this must be wrong so i clicked decline and rebooted the game. Guess what? IT SIGNED ME INTO ONE OF THE ACCOUNTS! What the hell!? Now the progress on my other accounts is erased. Fix your game. I want all my progress back, i will not play the game until my progress is restored. I clicked restore purchases, and all it gave me was 1000 medallions and club. Thanks, BUT I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT! im going to have to grind for a good 30 hours if i want to get access to even super monkey, and im not willing to lose everything just because the developers dont know how to make a backup. Fix my progress dammit

Don’t get me wrong, I love the game. I’ve played for well over a year now, while I have enjoyed the systems of the game, while I have one issue that totally ruins the game experience. Recently as of 2020, I have been experiencing major hacking. Every, I mean every match I play, my opponent has infinite money, upgrading to their 4 towers in round one. This overall ruins my game experience, while the game is a really addicting concept and utterly amazing. I however have stopped enjoying it due to these major problems. So, in regards to the overall game concept, it’s great. The game itself and the playing, meh. Yes, the game is fun, allowing you to upgrade towers, powers, etc. However, due to very recent experiences, I have grown out of the game, based on the current issues with hacking. If there is anyway the developers could fix this issue, I would be ecstatic to be able to play this game again and enjoy it. The hacking problem is in no way the developers’ fault, but I hope it can be sealed with soon. (Hacking in the game includes the following: Infinite money, enhanced towers further than their four that shoot blue projectiles and fire at a much faster rate, etc...those are all I know of so far, or have encountered)

Overall, great game, but frustrating do to hacking problems.

This game is great. One of my suggestions is that there isn’t such an insensitive on purchasing the premium access thing. People who like playing Arena gamemodes are restricted to only playing 1 game every 17 hours. The only gamemode I find really fun is the mode which gives you 500 cash per turn instead of 250. You are awarded double per bloon as well. You get the full scale of what your army of monkeys can do. The suggestion I have is that If you win your one arena match the time should be reduced to around 5 hours. This will encourage players to play the game for longer. I believe this game is better than Battles 2, there are less towers and the unlocking phase is shorter. Overall this game is great but there is a repetive aspect of perchasing the premium option. So I only play one game of the double money gamemode then go to bed. I wish to play more but I’m restricted.

Please continue to update and focus on this project instead of blooms td battles 2.

9.5/10 would Recommend.

I usually rate my favorite games 4/5 stars because I always have a problem to comment on, but with this game, there really aren’t any problems at all. It never lags, it’s fun, popular (so it never takes long to find an opponent) and addicting. One thing though that I do hate but really isn’t a problem is how you can send balloons. I’m constantly finding players who send balloons to me, especially when I’m betting lots of medallions. I understand it’s part of the game, but it’s just so frustrating how I come up with a strategy for when to upgrade my farm and for when to buy a sniper and such, but then the balloons they send mess it up, so I have to spend more money on the towers to defend and less on the farms and then later I don’t get enough money for round 30 and it just messes everything up! I know you can’t really just take out the whole balloon sending system or anything, but… I just wanted to express my frustration. Anyways, it’s a wonderful game and I hope you don’t abandon it like other game developers do. Thanks and have a good day.

I love this game and have been playing it for a while with my brother on our laptop. The main reason I’m writing this however, is because I recently got the game on my iPad so that I can play separately from my brother.
Everything works great that I’ve seen, but the music bugs out. Whenever I open BloonsTDBattles the music starts playing but once everything loads it stops. Turning the music button on and off doesn’t do anything. I tried restarting my iPad, clearing some space to see if that was the issue, and turning the music off, closing BloonsTDBattles , opening it again and turning the music back on but it still played for a second then went silent. I may try reinstalling BloonsTDBattles to see if it helps, but I doubt it will. Would this happen because I started playing on my account I didn’t know I had from 2018?? It’s fairly boring to play without the music, so I may revert to the laptop.

Please look into this!! I would appreciate it very much.

I just ha very to say again great game especially with club membership it can be a grind at first but you can do it! I have a lot of medallions which is the currency so I can buy the arenas they have which is where you both put in medallions and the winner gets them all, my only complaint is that there are some rlly good players so if bloons see this if you want I would like some button that’s let’s you play with everyone or people your level but other than that good luck guys, oh and another great part is NO ADDS unless you want to watch 1 for very little money or energy. I hope u saw this helpful, also they have cross platform in case you want your progress put on another device and there’s clans where you get keys for chests and every Wednesday you get rewards for playing a lot and winning, I have a hard time joining clans but you might have better luck. ninja kiwi you did a great job on this

I’ve been playing this game on and off for years now and have loved it until recent times. The game is absolutely dying making it hard to find a balanced game, 9/10 times your playing against players with absolutely no skill or players 100x betters then you with all the overpowering powers up. I can’t seem to be paired to anyone around my skill level and I’m no noob. For example when I start pushing for medallions I first get paired with people with absolutely no skill so I obviously destroy them feeling bad for them because it’s not fair. Then when I have about 20k-30k I get paired with players that have like 10 million medallions and every power up which makes me loose everything I was working on. This has been happening for a while now and I’m really starting to get tired of this. The developers need to work on matching you with players relative to your skill level or make the power ups easier to obtain to be able to go up against unfair matchups. I hope to see this game come back to life how it once was

I’ve played BTD battles since 6th grade (more than 7 years ago!) and have been accustomed to all the updates and different metas and strategies that come with each new update and have been an active member of clans and tournaments, gaining tens of millions of medallions and have enjoyed the game up until this point. I commend the innovative attitude, but Sabotage Powers are not only game breaking and annoying but a literal game killer update. Not even the massively over-powered eco amp or damage boost have come close to the frustration envoked by the effects of this update. I wish to channel this frustration in the form of this comment and ask the developers of the game to completely overhaul or delete this new set of powers. I have grinded and unlocked these new powers in a vain attempt to see how it feels when I have the over the top abilities such as Power Lock but the game simply isn’t the same with this toxicity-blooming ability or any of its counterparts in its class. I am afraid that I am watching my GOAT mobile game lose its fun and replayability, and I know the BTD community agrees. Please listen to them.

Hey, Before I begin, just let me say, this is a game I have played off and on for 5 years, and recently I’ve really gotten into it. The game is original while placing a multiplayer spin on it, with a certain income and power ups. The game has changed from 5 years ago, allowing players to customize their power ups and a new event. There are little to no forced ads. Now, enough about the good, a chunk of the game is closed to non-paying player, such as Sandbox and creating Clans are all stuff that you can’t do without paying to be a member. And next I have a specific suggestion for a tower, the Cobra Monkey. The Cobra Monkey can steal from your lives, earn extra money, and send towers early. My specific problem is the life steal, I have no problem with it when it takes and replaces. My problem shows up when it takes your lives while your enemies are full. It’s stealing without purpose and I hate it, often times I lose because of the fact that I have lost all my lives due to reasonless taking.

Hi i love your game, why cuz it’s amazing you can play card battles and do those bananzza plays and play with fire and mega boosts. but the thing where a game expires in a replay I kind of don’t like that because there were some battles were I loved to watch and they expired. also when I go into the game to play it the game pauses and my screen freezes in about 5-10 seconds loading in the screen. idk if this is my phone or what but I have to try about 10 times to get it to work. also the game also freezes only when I’m at my house with a good internet connection. I kind of think that should be opposite we’re with a bad connection the game freezes. also with the new update I think having 3 lots of glue uses was way better. I didn’t like that update really. and also when you get to the point we’re your power is you can like cover the whole screen in glue or in spikes. that’s stupid when the glue and spikes disappear cuz it’s like you earned so mutch and then on the track it disappears. over all I also like the doctor evil but when you did the think with him and his 99k health bar. I could always beat him when his health bar was same to mine. I love the games and can you please work on what I said. thank you.
