🔒 EXCLUSIVE: Id/Monkstrosity/recommended/ - Collection

I swore I wrote this review already, whatever....

As someone who has loved Tower Defense games since I was a little kid, I actually avoided the Bloons franchise because "it's just monkeys with darts." I felt a game was only cool with explosions ha. Now that I've gotten over my need for "realistic" games I have thoroughly enjoyed playing BTD6. The maps are varied in type and complexity, with a decent "knowledge point" progression system that makes you feel more "endgame." The complexity of the monkey towers actually is decently deep and for endgame play does need some research for best methods, I find this adds to the fun over taking on new challenges. Co-op play is by far one of my favorite parts of the experience, being able to play with up to 4 friends on PC AND mobile is not a common feature, along with the efficient cross-save system you really can play anywhere with anyone.

My brief complaints:
Boss events feel near-impossible solo and even in teams end up requiring a lot of power-ups to get successful against. It varies by boss, but it's frustrating when it's one of the limited ways to get trophies (which are the only currency for cosmetic items in game).
Trophies; I just wish there were more ways to acquire them aside from events. I understand exclusivity but maybe an easier way to acquire them for solo/offline players?

TL;DR is this- One of the best tower defense games that is actively updated due to its progression, variety, and cross-platform experience. Highly recommended.

(P.S. MOAR PARAGONS!!!!)
