Game Review: Bloons TD 6
Game Review
Recently, I have been playing Bloons TD 6, a strategy-based tower defense game developed by Ninja Kiwi. The goal is to stop waves of balloons (called “bloons”) by placing monkey towers. Even though the concept is simple, the game offers a lot of depth through maps, upgrades, and strategy.
(Goal of the Game)
The goal is to prevent bloons from reaching the end of the track. You do this by placing towers, upgrading them, and using abilities. As the game progresses, stronger bloons appear and require better planning.
(Maps & Difficulty Levels)
Different maps and difficulty levels
The 85 Maps are divided into:
- Beginner (25 maps)
- Intermediate (25 maps)
- Advanced (22 maps)
- Expert (13 maps)
(Enemy Types & Bloon System)
Bloon layers and progression system
Bloons are not all the same. They have a layer system:
- Stronger bloons contain multiple layers
- When popped, they split into weaker bloons
- Camo bloons → invisible to most towers
- Regrow bloons → regenerate over time if not destroyed
- Lead bloons → immune to normal projectiles
- Black bloons → immune to explosions
- MOAB-class bloons → very strong and release many bloons when destroyed
(Tower Types & Classes)
Different tower classes
Towers are divided into:
- Primary
- Military
- Magic
- Support
(Tower Upgrades & Progression)
Upgrade paths and progression system
Each tower has multiple upgrade paths:
- Increase damage or speed
- Extend range
- Add special effects
(Monkey Knowledge)
Monkey Knowledge upgrade system
In addition to tower upgrades, the game features a system called Monkey Knowledge. This system allows players to unlock permanent upgrades that improve towers and gameplay mechanics.
These upgrades include:
- Stronger starting towers
- Additional abilities
- Economic advantages (more money)
Monkey Knowledge adds long-term progression to the game and rewards players for continued play. It also allows for more advanced strategies and customization.
(Heroes)
