What a monkey circus - In Bloons TD 6 from the developer team ninja kiwi the little monkeys are out of control. Because their peaceful home is once again disturbed by the worst enemy ever. The Bloons look like harmless balloons. They fly like harmless balloons. But they are cunning, vicious and must be destroyed at all costs. Therefore, your task is to free the different parts of your village from the Bloons' invasion.
Bloons TD 6 is a tower defense game. The balloons follow set paths and constantly approach your village. If too many Bloons reach their destination, you lose lives and have to start the level all over again.
In order to prevent this from happening, you have to build up your monkey army, with which you want to go into the almost hopeless fight against an overpowered opponent! Later on, 20 different monkeys will be at your disposal. Besides crossbowmen and dart throwers, you can also send ninjas, mages or alchemists into battle.
But the balloons are on the rise. That's why the monkeys have also sought reinforcements and are getting various heroes who will stand by your side if you pay them in hard cash. The heroes are stronger and faster than normal monkeys. They can also trigger special abilities that make the bloons pop as if they were nothing more than balloons. However, you also have to collect a lot of coins before you can even afford a hero.
Every time you start a new level, you can first see what path the bloons will take. Accordingly, you can already make a strategy of how you want to place your first monkeys to fend off the first waves. You have a choice of monkeys at the bottom of your screen, which you can place freely on the map. In classic tower defense fashion, however, you don't start with a fat wallet, but can only afford cheap monkey soldiers. By shooting the bloons, however, you'll collect the change you need to place more towers and stop the ever-growing waves of enemies.
You can also level up placed towers. This makes their attacks even stronger and they can shoot faster or have a longer range. You can always choose between three different skill trees and thus shape your play style differently.
However, it only gets really exciting when you unlock your heroes. Because even if they are expensive, individual heroes let more bloons burst than five monkeys of the normal army. Your heroes not only have very high damage, but can also develop their special abilities. With these abilities, for example, you'll make your enemies fly slower for a certain amount of time, or you'll buff other towers so they can deal even more damage.
The whole gameplay of Bloons TD 6 is kept in an appealing 2.5D graphics. The animations are very affectionate and the monkeys look funny. But the 2.5 effect has not only cosmetic backgrounds. Objects or buildings can also block the shooting path. That's why you have to think carefully about where to place your monkeys if you don't want to be overrun by the bloons.
Bloons TD 6 pleases the majority of players who get involved in the monkey spectacle. They especially praise how large the selection of different monkey towers is and that you can unlock different abilities according to your wishes. The colorful cuddly graphics also give the game its very own charm. If users complain about something, it is usually the somewhat chaotic camera work in too large battles. Some users also experienced minor jerks when too many towers were on the screen competing against the balloons.
Overall, however, Bloons TD 6 is very entertaining and gives you the chance to really let the monkeys out. Fortunately, this also works when you don't have an Internet connection.
