While I haven’t played 6, I have a hard time imagining a game that gets bigger for tower defense than Bloons TD 5. I could write a ten page article just about the strengths and weaknesses of all the troops, but know there are a LOT.īloons TD 5 is probably a great choice for the Switch due to the sheer vastness of the game. There are also monkeys with mortars, gatling guns and pirate ships, and so, so much more. The monkeys, to their credit, have a nice variety to them as well, from dart throwers to glue gunners to magicians, pilots, submarine captains and superheroes. Let too many balloons reach the other side of the map and it’s game over. The balloons start simple, and then grow more complex, becoming multi-layered (more darts to pop them), camouflaged (invisible to some monkeys), armor plated (must be exploded before popped) and, eventually, turning into veritable zeppelins that release tons of balloons when popped. I could have just as easily not reviewed the game and continued playing it on the long train rides when my Switch is at home, but I wanted to see how this console version played.īloons, as the games go, put you in charge of an ever growing army of monkeys with darts, and there are balloons you must pop. Why on earth would Ninja Kiwi choose to focus on an old entry and not the newest? Well, frankly, number five is where they really hit their sweet spot: the amount of time and investment with reward coming back to developer and player was perfected here, and there’s a reason that I chose to review this game despite having it on my iPhone: because it’s fun. You may not realize, however, that the fifth game was originally published back in 2011 and the sixth version only came out this year.
BLOON TOWER DEFENCE 5 SERIES
The only thing I will say is that I’m shocked as to the quality of the port.īloons TD 5 is, as you may have guessed, the fifth installation into a series of games made by Ninja Kiwi. So I’m not surprised to see that one of the most popular tower defense games, Bloons TD 5, get a Nintendo Switch port. Being able to fight of hordes of ENTER THING HERE and be a successful hero is intrinsically rewarding. The mobile game revolution brought the games to the forefront of the casual marketplace, and for damn good reasons. It’s a weird genre that, depending on the entry, requires either a lot of planning or a lot of patience, or a combination of the two.
