Bloons TD5 is an addicting but easy tower defence game to play. The difficulty is low for a tower defence game, but there is a sense of exhilaration in popping the hordes of balloons that appear. Even though many years have passed since its release, the game still receives updates such as gameplay improvements, new maps and events. If you like tower defence games, it's a good deal even at full price, and if it's a genre you're not interested in, it's often on sale, so if you buy it and play it at that time, you may find it surprisingly fun. Overall, it's a highly recommended game.

A classic in the Tower Defense genre. Cute and colorful 2D graphics, plenty of different maps, plenty of different towers, plenty of different upgrades, and different difficulty levels. Music is likely the game's most glaring negative, as some maps do not have music, and even when it is there it is rather monotone, of little variety, and ends up being repetitive. Some missions that are hard become exceedingly easy if you have access to loads of Monkey Money, and hence are rather unbalanced. The game overall is great. Unfortunately, its sequel Bloons TD6 is better and more polished in virtually every single aspect, and it was actually priced about the same or even lower at times, for years - and even though BTD6 is now about 40% more expensive than this game, is still the better buy, due to more frequent updates, competitive events, more monkey and monkey upgrades, and better graphics and music. BTD 5 does have simpler gameplay, simpler graphics, and a few things not available in BTD 6, like random missions and special agents, which may appeal to those that prefer such features. Either game are among the best in the tower defense genre, but if you need to choose between one of them, there is little reason not to choose BTD6 now. But if you are a fan of the genre, and are ok with getting both games, BTD 5 is still a worthwhile buy if you feel nostalgic and want to find out how the prequel plays relative BTD 6, or just want something slightly different than that BTD6 offers. Rating: 9/10
