I've played a lot of BT6 and it's nice to see this game not have micro transactions, and not have pay to win mechanics, everything is earn able without having to grind for endless hours, the maps are nice and theirs a ton, I mean a ton of them.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Part of what makes the BTD games so charming and memorable is without a doubt the visuals that sell it for some casuals without even a glance on the gameplay side of things as the artstyle of Bloons TD is quite timeless, seeing as there is something simply joyful about how the world and characters of this fun game is presented to the players.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
