What players say

Bloons TD 6 is one of those games that I just kept playing until I suddenly realized I had put an absurd number of hours into it. I have practically all the Black Borders for the maps in solo, have done a lot of stuff in co-op, and I still have a little left to finish everything. After that, I'll probably stop going after new maps, because at that point I'll have done enough. What I like most about the game is how...

Just one of those games that always seems to be there for me. Half hour here or there, bored with something else, monkeys help with everything in life. They comfort, council, and will even beat up anyone talking trash.

I really enjoy Bloons TD 6, but the multiplayer connection is extremely frustrating. I often experience lag, connection issues, and disconnects even when my internet is working normally. For a game with co-op features, the network stability really needs improvement. I can't recommend it in its current state because the connection problems make multiplayer difficult to enjoy.
