1. [R2] 5/5 · US The BEST TD game: Alot of people say the game is too hard but i love the game for that reason i also have bloons td6 but i like this one better (btd6 is still a 5 star game) i like btd5 better because its simple harder and cooler maps if NK sees this add more unique maps on btd6 and make hard mode harder for btd6 but dont make chimps harder. When i first played this game i had to come up with a go
2. [R8] 5/5 · US Excellent game: Very clever game design! The stress relief of popping balloons, reasonable resource accumulation, and the easy-to-difficult challenges make me want to keep opening it! The only problem is that it doesn't support Chinese, so sometimes I don't react quickly enough. · translated
3. [R59] 5/5 · GB Intellectual and strategic!: I love it! It’s a brilliant strategy game and keeps your brain going. I think some of the special challenges are a bit pay to win but it is still brilliant! Teaches you patience, strategy and the ability to be prudent!
4. [R90] 5/5 · GB Possibly the best: It's endless fun, the progression system works really well and the in app purchases aren't necessary to play the game. Can't recommend more especially if you enjoy the usual tower defence games
5. [R6] 5/5 · US Thx: This is really worth it for 3 dollars for the amount of content you get thx for sharing his game
6. [R32] 5/5 · US Good game: This game has a load of content this game might be the best in the series and there’s just enough to keep me distracted and also the original dart monkey skin is cool
7. [R49] 5/5 · US Nostalgic game that holds up: This game got me through so many boring study halls in high school lol, but it’s also just a timeless, fun & simple strategy game. This mobile version is so well-done too, from the special missions/levels to the specialty upgrade buildings and limited events
8. [R71] 5/5 · GB Only Game You’ll Ever Need: I don’t usually buy iPhone games (this is my third one) but I can wholeheartedly say that it was very much worth it for this game. With so many maps and so many unlockables, you’ll never get bored! Definitely lags on the later rounds (110+ depending on how many aircraft carriers you have), but what can you expect? Amazing game and well worth the money.
9. [R7] 5/5 · US OH MY GOOSENESS: I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH SO NOSTALGIC
10. [R15] 5/5 · US Gold: Hasn’t Lost Its spark I’ve been playing for years, since the first addition on Y8 Games, this is pure gold.
11. [R20] 4/5 · US BEST GAME EVERRRR: It gives me nustalga so good like I’m 6 again…😀😀😀😀
12. [R21] 5/5 · US Classic: I remember my older cousin was playing this 5 to 6 years ago at the dinner table. The colors, the thrill, and for crying out loud the silly monkeys! He let me play and it took me for joy ride. I still play this game whenever I have the time. The best part Ninja Kiwi still updates it! Although old, still holds up to most modern mobile games and if anything better! Play Btd 5!
13. [R18] 5/5 · US Peak: I lowkey like BTD5 a bit more than BTD6, I like the older art style and the menu screen
14. [R36] 5/5 · US Fav game: Better than 6
15. [R45] 5/5 · US The only Bloons td game worth having.: Fax
16. [R17] 5/5 · US WORTH $3 !!!: WOOOOOOOO THIS GAME RULES
17. [R55] 5/5 · GB Great: This is an awesome game!!! You can play with friends and all sorts! I highly recommend it! The £3 doesn’t matter because it’s so worth it!
18. [R66] 5/5 · GB £2.99? Don’t even flinch. Just buy.: This is an excellent game. So much harmless fun and you DON’T need to buy anything more once you’ve paid. You can do of course but you’ll just be making the harder levels accessible more quickly. I only bought this yesterday. Other than Kingdom Rush this is the best strategy game I’ve seen or played. Top notch in every way.
19. [R5] 5/5 · US Fix co-op: I love this game have for years. So I’m not gonna give it less than five stars. Fix co-op because we keep getting disconnected over and over again even tho we’re on strong Wi-Fi. We’ve tried service, data, wifi and we still Just get disconnected
20. [R42] 1/5 · US Might as well remove co op play: I downloaded this game to play with my wife as we like to play co op. The server issues are insufferable and make it difficult to play or return to playing. We get disconnected every time we play usually around level 80. It’s been years and they still have yet to fix the issue. It has to be one of the worst co op game plays of any mobile game. I haven’t ever been o
21. [R96] 3/5 · GB Good but needs improvements: Great game, always have loved playing the bloons series but this one whenever me and my friend try to go into co op we always get disconnected even though we both have strong internet
22. [R102] 1/5 · AU Cannot play Co-Op with my friend.: Both mine and my friends connection is perfect yet we can never seem to play co-op together. It either drops out and says I’m disconnected or continuously loads until finally saying ‘failed to join game.’ Please fix this ASAP. I understand it’s not your latest Bloons game but it still needs support and bug fixes
23. [R3] 1/5 · US Game crashes on startup: Game immediately crashes on iPad mini with iOS 12
24. [R30] 4/5 · US Force close in ios 12: The app always force closes when trying to play it on iOS 12.5.8. Can you fix it?
25. [R43] 2/5 · US Too many crashes: Good game to play. Too bad it always crashes in co-op mode
26. [R83] 1/5 · GB Can I get my money: So I bought all upgrades on the submarine tower with real money I come to check and it still says unlock 49 please fix this or give my money back please
27. [R86] 1/5 · GB WTF: I would put 5 stars but I really can't get the micro transactions to work without buying them. The towers won't place with hot keys. I do like the money glitch that lets me go through extreme like it was on easy but not sure if it was intentional.
28. [R143] 1/5 · AU Buying in game money: I bought $3 worth of in game money and it charged me $5 like what the heck?!
29. [R80] 5/5 · GB Omg amazing however: Omg amazing, but when I accidentally deleted it and reinstalled I lost everything 😭 all my purchases 😔
30. [R109] 1/5 · AU Ninja Kiwi has some issues: I believe me and the rest of the community that enjoys playing Bloons Tower Defence 5 can all agree that the game needs a real way to transfer save games and progress between devices and accounts. I have played through the game more than once and I have enjoyed it every time but it is a pain restarting every time I get a new phone. The cloud save has been an issue with
31. [R118] 1/5 · AU What the heck!?!: Don’t waste your money on this game I lost all my progress and it isn’t even the HD version!
32. [R85] 1/5 · GB Rubbish Game: Gameplay is fun, however this is a paid game with microtransactions. I repeat, a PAID game with microtransactions!!!! This is NOT acceptable and you should play the PC version. But you SHOULD play the PC version as this game has excellent gameplay! Vote with your wallet, don't buy this game, let's stop these ridiculous microtransactions before they ruin another great game!!!
33. [R53] 2/5 · GB Repetitive: The game itself is great: content, purpose, style, everything! There's 1 problem: the bloons! They are not overpowered, or underpowered, no. The problem is that there is no variety of waves for the bloons whatsoever. Ever track, mission (with the acception of the special missions: grand wizard and no escape) same damn layout, or the same layout except the layers are different. I'm just
34. [R119] 1/5 · AU Speed up balloons: The balloons suddenly speed up out of no were it is impossible to get past level 61 because of it
35. [R34] 4/5 · US Fav game: Loveeee this game!!! But the last 2 days it hasn’t been letting me play co op 🤔anyone know why
36. [R39] 5/5 · US Fun game but: When I try to play with my bf it sometimes won’t work and it’ll take 20 times or no tries to get a co-op game working. Other than that it’s a fun game. My bf got me hooked but would really love to have that co-op thing fixed.
37. [R25] 1/5 · US Defective Sound: I uninstalled and reinstalled the game but the sound does not function. I confirmed the volume settings in the game were correct, my phone volume was up, and Bluetooth was disconnected. Faulty app.
38. [R4] 5/5 · US Every day I’ve played this game for the past 10+ years.: Mcland
39. [R14] 5/5 · US Hi, my name is Andre.: This is one of my favorite games. I also think that this is the best bloons tower defense. My friend recommended this to me back in high school or college I think. So, it’s been at least seven years playing this game. That sucks this game isn’t free! I like this game because the towers are so skinny and maneuverable. It’s also likable because it’s the most classic game.
40. [R127] 3/5 · AU Would be a 5 if co op worked without disconnecting: Love this game if playing solo but co op doesn’t work very well. Keeps disconnecting after starting up the game or just won’t connect at all.
