New towers and strategies
Bloons TD 6 brings different unit types and more widespread upgrades to the franchise. It’s a step in the right direction and offers hours of fun.
Revamped graphics and gameplay
In Bloons TD 6 you use towers and heroes to keep your enemy away from their end goal along the track.
Balloons of all sizes assault you in this new iteration of the Bloons series of games. The larger display is a major upgrade from the previous installments built for smaller mobile devices. The controls are also easier to manage in comparison.
Everything you love from the other titles is here. The quirky enemy design is still up to par. There are newer balloon types, though. There are more tools in your arsenal, though, that you can use to deal with these new threats. The little upgrades available for each tower you build have more options and levels, as well.
The main currency is bananas - a fitting choice - and there’s more to spend on than ever before. Heroes take to the field, and you need tons of bananas to hire them. There are many that you can choose. You can only use one at a time, though. In the end, they’re a great addition to your forces and can change the tide of any fight.
A lot can happen in any battle. This stays true for Bloons. Some matches are chaotic, messy, and difficult to understand. You have to stay on your toes for later levels as enemies grow in number and complexity. This is a large step for newcomers. Experienced players will find it easier to manage, though.
A major hindrance is the set of microtransactions. You’ll likely spend a fortune if you want to reach the higher levels quickly. Otherwise, it’s a great title
Where can you run this program?
The game requires Windows 7 and above.
Is there a better alternative?
No. Tower defense games like Plants vs. Zombies and Kingdom Rush have a similar premise. Bloons TD 6 has better visuals and playstyle, though.
Our take
This game is an improvement on the previous iterations. It has addictive gameplay and endless options for players who love strategy and long-term tower management. It’s a gem in the rough.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you’re a fan of the tower defense genre, you’ll love Bloons TD 6.
