Easily the best and most accessible tower defense game out there. If you enjoyed BTD5 or the genre in general, you'll enjoy this one. Sure, there are still microtransactions but absolutely none of them are necessary. You can unlock almost every tower upgrade in ~10 hours total, and the other MTX are barely worth it anyways because the game is very generous with monkey money after unlocking all heroes.

Easy/medium are good enough for casual players but where the game really shines is hard difficulties and above. The game has a pretty good amount of depth and each stage has its own strategies, especially now that field of view is a factor when placing your towers. Your tower placements are more important than ever now, and field of view can be brutally small on harder maps.

BTD6 feels like a proper sequel that fixed the last game's issues while adding good new features. The game is no longer about spamming sun gods with camo villages, now there are tons of strategies and every tower feels relevant. All towers have very powerful 5th tier upgrades that could make them even stronger than sun gods. Towers that used to be weak like tack shooters and ice monkeys are now surprisingly good and worth using now.

New additions include heroes, which honestly aren't as big of a deal as you might think. They help you during the early game but after you pass round 40 or so you forget they're even there. Definitely useful to hold out the first handful of stages before you properly set up, but not game-changing.

Other new additions include new bloon types. Purple bloons are immune to magic/fire attacks, stopping wizard/druid from being the most OP early game tower like in BTD5. There's also DDTs, which are super fast camo MOABs and your new worst enemy. Really, ♥♥♥♥ those guys.

Overall, BTD6 is good/good. Definitely worth buying if you're a fan of the series. The one thing that's worse I would say is coop, which is broken (for now) due to bad netcode and random disconnects. I don't like coop anyways, but it's worth pointing out that it is nigh unplayable if you're into that.
