Strategic tower defense with lasting depth
Bloons TD 6 by Ninja Kiwi brings the long-running tower defense series into a modern format with sharper visuals and layered mechanics. Originally released on mobile and later on PC, it continues the familiar challenge of stopping waves of colorful Bloons by building and upgrading an arsenal of monkey towers, while adding new systems that expand its tactical appeal.
The gameplay hinges on strategic placement and upgrades. Each monkey tower offers multiple upgrade paths, while special hero units add powerful abilities that evolve as rounds progress. A wide mix of Bloon types, from camo to fortified MOAB-class enemies, forces players to continually adapt their strategies. Multiple difficulty levels and modes—including Impoppable and CHIMPS—cater to both newcomers and seasoned veterans, making the game flexible without losing depth.
Challenging tower defense with endless variety
Beyond the core loop, Bloons TD 6 adds variety through daily challenges, boss battles, and diverse maps with unique terrain that influences tower placement. While customization centers on choosing towers, heroes, and upgrade paths rather than cosmetic changes, the sheer number of combinations keeps the experience fresh. The move to 3D visuals displayed on a 2D plane enhances clarity and detail without affecting the series’ accessible style, and performance remains smooth even in hectic late-game waves.
Final thoughts
Bloons TD 6 doesn’t reinvent tower defense, but it refines it with depth, replayability, and charm. It’s a reliable choice for players who enjoy thoughtful strategy wrapped in colorful, fast-paced action, even if progress doesn’t carry over between PC and mobile versions.
