This is one of the best $2.99 (plus in-app purchases for currency) values on the App Store. Those willing to dive in to a tower defense game that’s ready and willing to be deep should check it out as well. Just based off of the sheer amount of content alone, and the complexity contained within, I definitely have to recommend this to the die-hard traditional tower defense game fan, which is anyone who reads the warning message about later levels making the device lag and gets excited. The sessions can be rather long, so use that fast forward button. Featuring an all New Tower and Special Agent, glorious retina graphics optimized for iPhone 5, original Tracks and Special Missions, a whole new tier of Specialty Building upgrades, and a never-before-seen Monkey Lab to upgrade your towers, Bloons TD 5 delivers hours of fun and challenging play to fans and new players alike. There’s a manual iCloud save support in the options, which may come in handy if and when an iPad version comes out, as the game is not universal ( Bloons TD 4 came in separate iPhone and iPad versions). Bucks and tokens can be earned to be spent on helpful life-saving boosts and long-term permanent upgrades respectively. There’s a dozen maps of varying difficulties and designs. Really, I don’t even think that I’m scratching the surface of what this game contains. It’s easy to get lost in all the unit types and upgrades, though hitting the question mark icon on any screen will usually explain what’s going on. There is a lot going on, and the game celebrates this fact, with cheeky reminders that things are getting harder, or that more and more bloons will be coming in with certain waves. Upgrades also only unlock as units gain experience, which is earned by deploying them in the field more often. Remember how I mentioned there were dozens of monkey units? Well, each unit has an upgrade tree, where two different upgrade types can be deployed up to 4 levels of upgrades, but once a type hits level 3, then the other can’t advance past level 2. These include stronger bloons indicated by color, bloons of different material that can only be shot at by certain units (or with certain upgrades), and the MOAB, which is a giant bloon that also means game over if it gets through. There are dozens of tower monkey types, all with different attack styles and purposes, with abilities that can destroy the different bloons. The creeps are all balloons, er, bloons, and the towers are all monkeys who really hate bloons, apparently. Bloons TD 5 is an action and entertainment game application developed by Ninja Kiwi and available for download on the iOS App Store and Android Play Store. The rules are the same as every other genre entry: kill creeps before they reach the end of the track. Well, after playing, it makes sense: this is probably the ultimate traditional track-based tower defense game on the App Store. And it was the 5th entry in the series, how is it still so popular? I tackled Bloons TD 5 partially out of curiosity: why was this game #3 on the iPhone top paid ranks, as a $2.99 game? That’s like seeing Sasquatch riding a unicorn.
