    Bloons Tower Defense 5 is not only the best in the prolific series thus far, it's one of the best Tower Defense games I've ever played. The level of customization available is second to none, the numerous towers (both old and new) are devilishly creative, and Missions and Challenges keep things fresh when the going gets rough.

The level of customization available is second to none, the numerous towers (both old and new) are devilishly creative, and Missions and Challenges keep things fresh when the going gets rough. However, what's ultimately the most endearing and rewarding aspect of the game is the depth - there's just so much to learn! The journey from Easy to Impoppable is loaded to the brim with delicious bloon-popping fun, and it's certainly worth some of your time (or, in my case, all of it!)… Expand

    Out from BTD4, this game has improved in almost every level, with more customizable stuff. I could play this for hours before even thinking about getting up.

    Tower defense games are many and varied, and Bloons Tower Defense games are definitely some of the best. Having played BTD5 for iOS, I can say that it is a very fun and enjoyable game. There are many levels with enough variation to keep you interested for a long time.

    However if you do start to get bored then you can always have a go at the many missions that the game offers, with varying degrees of difficulty. There are literally several hundred missions to keep you entertained and occupied, and the choice is randomised, so you are able to choose whether or not you want to do a particular mission at a certain time.

    In game currency however is quite hard to come by, and purchasing it separately as a micro-transaction is a downside to the game, as the cash can be very handy in your game, as well as helping to extend the playability of the game. If you like the game enough, buying the in game cash is worth it to expand your BTD5 experience.

    Overall it is a very good game, I have had no problems with it crashing (running iOS7) and it seems to be a very stable app. Tower Defense games are randomised according to how you choose to play so for the price that it is on the App Store, it is definitely worth it for the time you can get out of it.    … Expand

    This monstrosity barely deserves to be called a game. The levels are too easy for me and I played an advanced level on hard first time. This game lacks the strategy and planning that a "defense" game should have. Place everything at the end and the beginning of the path and you win. Horrible game.

    The game idea is truly an original idea which is a good job by the creators. The graphics could use a little fix due to the fact that when you’re in a game, the frames tend to drop when there is too much action going on in the game but it’s understandable since this game was made in 2011.

The graphics could use a little fix due to the fact that when you’re in a game, the frames tend to drop when there is too much action going on in the game but it’s understandable since this game was made in 2011. The game also freezes at times which is a little annoying but it would fix its self which would’ve taken about a couple of seconds. The amount of achievements, goals, and challenges there are in the game brings more fun into the game. They can be easy challenges or they can be very hard challenges which add excitement to the game. Another issue that I have for this game is that the EXP system is not the best. You gain very little EXP when you defeat a level. EXP is used for leveling up the monkeys but since you barely get any EXP for completing a level, you will have a difficult time leveling up the monkeys. The good side of that is that you will play the game more often to get the EXP to level up the monkeys. I have to say that the upgrades for the Super Monkey are WAY TOO OP! All it takes is one Super Monkey to take out 100 balloons every 10 seconds and with multiple Super Monkeys, they are unstoppable! The amount of maps they are insane, and they add new maps in updates. But one thing that I don’t understand why the creators added this on the game is the difficulty of the map. Personally when I play the game and try out different map difficulty, I don’t really see the difference between the easy, medium, and hard maps. All there is in the maps that they have different designs and trails for the balloons to go to but other than that, I don’t really see a difference. This game is not that bad but it could be fixed up just a little but luckily there are a few updates that they release that fix some of the bugs.… Expand

    One of the best tower defence games with an infinite amount of content and the bloonchipper.

    Bloons TD 5 is one of the best games ever created. When the monkeys throw the darts at the balloons I couldn't stop laughing and had an extremely good time! This game is the best In the franchise. The graphics rival Call of Duty MW2. I can't see anyone disliking this game and I'd recommend it to everyone. (only play it on console because the game is only good with 60fps)

    Played this game on IOS and steam. It's basically the same game on both platforms, but with Steam, when you go into achievements, you can-along with other steam games-view how many people have completed the achievements you have

    Bloons 5 TD doesn't introduce anything new to the tower defense genre, but it's polished and fun.

    A game that seems like it's trying to wheedle even more cash out of you despite its base price tag. It's still fun, and one of the better examples of tower defense on the market, but it's hard to escape the impression that Bloons TD 4 wasn't so piratical in its drive to urge you to spend premium currency.

    Those willing to dive in to a tower defense game that's ready and willing to be deep should check it out as well. This is one of the best $2.99 (plus in-app purchases for currency) values on the App Store.
