Recurring themes

Crashes & Stability negative
Many users report frequent game crashes, especially during co-op, high rounds, or boss battles, leading to lost progress and frustration. The latest update notes mention 'minor bug fixes' but reviews indicate crashes are still a major problem, sometimes even on the main menu.R14R18R26R41

Co-op mode is plagued with connectivity issues, including frequent disconnections and 'reconnecting to game' messages, making it difficult to play with friends and often resulting in lost progress or downgraded towers.R7R13R18R140
Account & Progress Loss negative
A significant number of users report losing their game progress or entire accounts, often after crashes, switching devices, or failed attempts to use linking codes. The account syncing system is perceived as unreliable.R67R116R125R134
Monetization & Grind negative
While the base game is paid, many users feel there are too many in-app purchases and that heroes and other content are excessively expensive in Monkey Money, forcing a heavy grind or real-money spending. Some feel the game is becoming a 'cash grab'.R27R57R86R105
Offline Play & Downloads negative
Despite being an offline-capable game, users are frustrated by mandatory, frequent, and large content downloads, which are problematic when traveling or in areas with poor internet.R106R201R228
Cheating & Fair Play negative
Reviewers report widespread cheating and hacking in competitive modes like Contested Territories and leaderboards, with players achieving impossible scores or capturing territories unfairly, which diminishes the competitive experience.R83R139R158

Who it's for

Bloons TD 6 is for players who enjoy deep and engaging tower defense games with a lot of content and frequent updates R6R10. It's suitable for those who appreciate a game without constant ads R2R56 and are willing to overlook or tolerate significant technical issues like crashes and connectivity problems R18R26. It is not for players who prioritize stable online multiplayer, reliable account syncing, or a game free from perceived excessive monetization R13.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on technical issues and monetization, which contrasts sharply with the game's high lifetime rating. This indicates a recent decline in user experience, possibly exacerbated by recent updates. The positive points are primarily about the core gameplay being fun and engaging, often mentioned before detailing a negative experience.

  11. [R14] 1/5 · US Says no Internet connection: I would rate it zero stars if I could since the update I can’t load the game. It just kicks me out of the game as soon as it gets to the loading screen I just bought the new hero that was like $16. I want a refund
  12. [R18] 1/5 · US Game crashes getting out of hand: (Edit) Came back to lower the review since crashes are even more common with them occurring even on the main menu. Additionally, discovered a "fun" bug where the game crashes as I win round 100, so when I load back in I don't have a medal AND am on round 101... leaving me needing to completely restart to get credit for the run I just won (Original) The online pl
  13. [R26] 1/5 · US Crashes at pivotal moments: ALWAYS having this goofy app crash and then position closed at high rounds or events. Worst 7$ of my life. I’ve tried on multiple devices and to no avail. RIP bloon tower defense </3
  14. [R41] 4/5 · US Good but kicks me sometimes: It’s an amazing game but sometimes when I’m at free play or something it will just kick me and it doesn’t save 😭
  15. [R7] 4/5 · US CRASHES EVERY TIME I GO PLAY CO-OP OR SOLO: I like this game better than Roblox
  16. [R13] 1/5 · US Fix the connection: Every single time I play co-op it always disconnects me, making it hard to play with my wife or friends. This is ridiculous all the things you’ve done to this game and you can’t fix this?!?!?!
  17. [R140] 1/5 · CA GLITCHES: RECONECCT TO YOUR GAME IS SO ANNOYING HATE IT
  18. [R67] 1/5 · GB This game is stupid: First I ax Accidentley deleted the game now my account has been offline now I never want To play again my brother delete he keeps his account what company is this the dum one or smart one I think stupid one
  19. [R116] 1/5 · CA DUMB GAME: I TRIED TO LINK MY ACCOUNT BUT IT NEVER WORKED FOR 1 HOUR THEN I HAD TO LEAVE FOR A WEEKEND TRIP LLLLLL I EAS LITERALLY CRYING
  20. [R125] 2/5 · CA Login trouble: In my account tab there is no register option, how can I register, help!!
  21. [R134] 2/5 · CA lost account after years out of nowhere: had an almost maxed levee account that was lost and was givin help getting it back and had to restart get the free version and don’t spent money on it
  22. [R106] 3/5 · CA Content download is aggravating: I only play this game when I travel, which often coincides with poor or no internet. The fact that the game forces me to download massive packages frequently (in recent case, at least once a week) is extremely annoying. Please either make the downloads smaller, or optional - it makes no sense for offline play to force an update!
  23. [R201] 1/5 · CA Hate download: I hate downloading the game because I usually play this on car rides when I have no internet but I have to use internet to update on a game that you can play in single player!!! So stupid make a fricking option to play without updating!!
  24. [R228] 1/5 · CA Download: Why is the update download required to play are you serious this is supposed to be an offline game. Set the download automatic on wifi smh this crippled the game
  25. [R27] 4/5 · US The heroes are so EXPENSIVE!: It’s a great game but the heroes are so expensive to buy with monkey money like Dan D’ Monkey is 7,500 monkey money and the He-Man skin is 10,000 monkey money. Like how does anyone afford that without using the shop. Since I don’t have access to the shop and I’m low on monkey money please lower the prices for Dan D’ Monkey and the skin.
  26. [R57] 3/5 · GB hmm: right. it was going great and i was really enjoing this game until these things happened: 1:i discovered that the username othr players can see is different to the username i chose please fix this for all players immediatly. 2: you can't choose your own username. this is a huge problem for players. 3: you have to buy most things. this includes the map builder, which is hugely expensive. (6,00
  27. [R86] 2/5 · GB Same old: Same strategy I used in previous version’s and on every level work with this version, therefore not a valid release. This is a cash grab. Don’t do it. I want my money back.
  28. [R105] 1/5 · CA Bing Bong: Always have been a huge fan of the series since BTD3 and this game was nothing short of a masterpiece. Though once upon a time I was able to purchase this game and 100% complete it, it is no longer possible without folding to all of the micro transactions and ads that they keep incorporating about « DLCs » or other games that they have. Sure I’m always happy to support a studio by check
  29. [R83] 2/5 · GB To many hackers: This game os full of hackers, you can check leaderboards with the top 20-30 players finishing bosses and get to stage 100 in under 2min. The contested territories is also full of hackers with players going from stage 1 to stage 40 with one monkey and no upgrades . The devs dont care about this as they only like to milk players out of money to buy packs. Ill never spend another € i
  30. [R139] 1/5 · CA This game has been hacked: This game has been throughly hacked. Every time I go up against another team in contested territory, there is at least 1 hacker who has modified game dynamics to capture territory without beating the score, and who captures territory by jumping across the screen to take territory they are unconnected too. This game is in violation of the contract I signed when I purcha
  31. [R158] 3/5 · CA Get rid of the cheaters on contestant: Game is usually fun but the constant cheating is not! Fix it !
  32. [R20] 3/5 · US Has Buggs: Honest review won’t allow me to get certain achievements from what I’ve seen on some forms only 27 achievements pop on this. For the windows version.
  33. [R276] 1/5 · CA Unplayable with new update: I can’t download the new content ever since the Mermonkey update. It keeps saying that the download failed even after reinstalling the app.
  34. [R286] 1/5 · CA New update: Doesn’t download on my phone, is this fixable?
  35. [R21] 1/5 · US Not worth it: The game used to be fun little time suck. Now it’s a waste of time. I wouldn’t spend your money on it
  36. [R22] 5/5 · US Very good: I first thought that the price for it to buy was not worth it but when I started exploring the game I noticed it was so worth it.If you have atleast 6.99$, you should definitely buy this game.
  37. [R206] 1/5 · CA CO-op sucks: I have used soooo much monkey money just to say “reconnecting to game” on co-op despite having perfectly fine wifi. REFUND ME
  38. [R236] 3/5 · CA Worth the money but…: Worthy game being under 10 dollars. None of the packs are worth your time unless you want to carry teammates in coop, then buy double cash. That being said id avoid coop, 90% of players dont know when to prioritize what type of tower, they will just beg for money and lose the game. Also game is riddled with connectivity issues when playing coop. NK has done an awesome job on
  39. [R298] 3/5 · CA Good game, bad offers: Considering I payed $10 for this game, you would think I could get the x2 cash offer for less than double the price. $25 is absolutely absurd 🤣
