Launched in 2018 by Ninja Kiwi, Bloons TD 6 is the sixth episode of a cult franchise in the tower defense genre. Initially a simple browser flash game, the series is today a pillar of casual strategy gaming.
The concept? Place armed monkeys on colored cards to prevent waves of balloons from reaching the exit. Easy to understand, difficult to master: that’s the strength of the title. The game is currently available on the Epic Games Store, for life, for anyone who adds it to their library before January 15, 2026.
A popular success never denied
On Steam, Bloons TD 6 accumulates more than 332,000 “extremely positive” reviews and an overall score of 97%. It regularly outperforms AAA titles like THE FINALS Or Hogwarts Legacy in number of active players. “I started a game to see, and I spent my whole afternoon there without realizing it,” admits a player on Reddit. Another adds: “It’s much deeper than it seems, you quickly become addicted to perfect investment strategies. »
A complete experience, even without paying
Certainly, the game contains microtransactions (DLCs, acceleration bonuses), but the majority of players assure that they are far from necessary. The free content is **more than enough** to have fun for dozens of hours. Another advantage: the game works just as well on powerful machines as on more modest configurations. It runs perfectly on most current PCs.
Hurry up: there are only a few days left
