There are two major upgrade paths for each tower, the left side going for more raw power, with the right side rewarding you with usable abilities. From Super Monkeys that can transform into literal Gods to Monkey Pilots that will drop exploding pineapples onto unsuspecting sentient balloons, the choice of towers is just as wacky and creative as the entire premise of the game.Īlongside being able to purchase and place these towers, you can also upgrade them. So much, in fact, that there is an entire arsenal of different monkeys to choose from to upgrade your powerful army. Don’t ask why, don’t ask how, but for some reason monkeys notoriously hate balloons. Speaking of variety, Bloons aren’t the only things that are filled with fresh ideas, the towers you find yourself using to defend yourself are mainly… well… they’re monkeys. The later rounds will throw even harder Bloons at you, including not only life-regenerating Bloons, but MOABs (Mother-of-all-Bloons), BFBs (Big Fat Bloon) and the epitome of Bloon technology, the ZOMG (Zeppelin of Mighty Gargantuaness). For example, Metal Bloons can not be harmed with sharp darts, however, they can be devastated by explosion damage. Intimidating, right? These balloons come in many shapes, sizes and colours different tiers and types of balloons keep each round feeling as fresh as the last and each game being as varied as one another. The twist on this genre however, is also in the name, instead of fighting off evil baddies or horrendous monsters, your mission is to brutally pop as many balloons as possible. BTD5 can get pretty urgent at points, requiring quick clicks and drags to set towers down fast or upgrading efficiently, and the complete removal of touchscreen controls throws any smoothness and fluidity the game previously had right into the trash.Īnyways, Bloons Tower Defense 5 is exactly what it says it is – a Tower Defense game. ![]() This ruins the entire experience, and it’s not just me nit-picking, it seriously doesn’t feel good at all being forced to use the controller. Right off the bat, the first thing I noticed once loading into the game was the lack of touchscreen controls. For being primarily a mobile game, BTD5 is very simplistic and even the most casual gamer can get into it without much hassle, porting such a simple game to Switch should be pretty simple, right? This is where the fun of BTD5 lies, in the strategy and insane amount of variation each game can hold. ![]() Not to mention I have a couple years’ worth of experience with BTD5 prior to being able to play it on the Switch, I used to strive for high rounds and built strategies that nowadays are used commonly. The Bloons series has always had a soft spot in my heart, back in primary school, we used to secretly play Bloons TD 3 whenever we got to used computers.
