    Bloons TD 5 is possibly the pinnacle of what tower defence games can offer, with tonnes of content, deep gameplay and more ways to play than you'll ever get through, there's something here for anyone even remotely interested in the tower defence genre.

    It’s genuinely sad to see NinjaKiwi like this. I wonder if the studio’s founders realised that, ten years down the line, they’d have an international company gouging players for microtransaction money, and re-releasing empty husks of old games onto the Switch for the chance at even more revenue.

    Imagine my surprise when a port of a touch screen game doesn't have touch screen controls!!!

I have been following this gameI loved playing flash games as a kid, and one day I saw a game called Bloons TD 3 and I was instantly hooked. I have been following this game series ever since. I recently bought it for the Switch, and while it is just a port of the mobile version, they perfectly mapped the controls to fit the switch and make the game easy to pick up. While this does cost more than some other versions of the game, it does not in anyway negate its value.… Full Review »
