TLDR: Good game with no ads or bugs, but it has a repetitive gameplay loop and feels a bit “grindy”.Bloons Blitz is similar to any other survivor games I’ve played: clear levels to get gold and loot boxes that allow you to upgrade towers and heroes. However, after a while it seems like gold is a rare commodity, and leveling up towers becomes harder and harder if you don’t pay real money. Would I prefer the game have ads over this? Probably not, but it’s something to consider.A second note is the repetitive gameplay and lack of content. I’m sure NinjaKiwi will add more towers and heroes soon, but right now the gameplay loop is so sparse that I had to comment on it.Mechanically, however, the game is great. Everything is intuitive and there’s no crazy bugs that I’ve seen so far. You can definitely create some awesome builds already with the limited tower selection, and the game provides power-ups to help with that (banish, pin, reroll etc.). It’s a good game with potential to become great!

I have been playing bloons games since the original flash version of Bloons TD, and I love them all a lot! It’s cool that it’s a free game to play, but the consequences of that decision are very apparent in this game. Every single menu in this game is asking you to spend money to get ahead. The core gameplay is very fun and I have a had a great time playing thus far. However, the game tries very hard to let you know that you are the product and begs you to spend money on it. In terms of gameplay, the upgrades are a lot of fun to play with, but as soon as you start getting good upgrades during your run, it’s already time for the final boss fight and it all ends. The game seems to be laid out like the fun is going to the next level, not what happens within each level. I hope they add an endless mode in the future or do something along the lines of Vampire Survivor allow the run to go to 30 minutes. I was hoping the harder modes had increased playtime and more bloons within each run. However, it seems to be called hard because they decrease the amount of “blops” you get leading to less upgrades. I can’t discount the game too much for having a free to play model, because that’s just the nature of the beast. However, I hope they add something to the game that allows individual runs to last longer and not end just as they’re getting good. Additionally, more balancing is needed for the hero’s. Quincy is far and wide the best hero out at the moment. Obin’s wolf AI is very difficult to work with during boss fights and it doesn’t have enough pierce. Overall, the game is a lot of fun to play here and there, but its main fallbacks come from the details. I am excited for new updates to come out and to “pop” back in for possible new modes, towers, and heroes!

It’s a very fun game. I always enjoy these types of mobile games and have loved btd for years. That being said I know it’s very early in development because it literally just came out today, but there are many balance issues that keep popping up for me. Mortars seem to be the best option for extra support and damage and snipers and wizards just feel a little lack luster and behind everything else. I’ll keep playing and see if that changes in upgrades later on but for right now that is my opinion.

Played for a few hours now, the game seems fun and very fitting for a Bloons games. For day one (I assume this will be fixed) in menus the game won’t register where you are swiping or tapping at time. Unlike other games in this genre the hero monkey shoots whatever is closest to you instead of shooting directionally where you’re aiming. That gets frustrating especially during a blitz when I shouldn’t be taking damage cause my hero doesn’t shoot where I aim him. I think some things need better explanations or guidance when it comes to certain powers. Overall the game is fun. For some reason I can’t replay the map with the other modes so I’m sure that will get fixed also.
