Note: Grab it before its gone!

Every week, we uncover premium games that you can claim for free and keep forever. Our latest hunt has uncovered a massive win: a bestselling tower defense strategy game, Bloons TD 6! Completely free for just a week.

Overview

Bloons TD 6 is a colorful strategy game that is much smarter than it looks. While the idea of monkeys popping balloons sounds simple, the game is actually a deep tactical challenge. Your goal is to build a defense that can stop hundreds of balloons from reaching the end of a map. It starts off easy, but it quickly turns into a fun test of your brain as you figure out the best way to spend your money and upgrade your towers.

Storyline

There isn’t a complex story here, the game focuses on the classic, quirky rivalry between monkeys and Bloons. What started years ago as a simple browser game has grown into a massive global hit. As the leader of the monkey army, you’ll strategically place your troops and choose powerful "Heroes" to lead the charge. Each map offers a new challenge, taking you from sunny parks and frozen lands to high-tech bases. As you play, you’ll unlock deep upgrade trees, transforming your basic towers into a high-powered defense capable of popping even the toughest targets.

Gameplay and atmosphere

The game feels like a colourful fun puzzle. You place various different towers (like dart-throwing monkeys, glue-shooting monkeys, spike generating monkeys, boomerang monkeys etc) and watch them work. The fun comes from choosing how to upgrade them; every tower has three different paths, so you can customize your defense however you like.

The art is bright and cheerful, and the music is upbeat, which keeps the mood high even when the screen is filled with action. It is the kind of game that is easy to jump into for five minutes but has enough depth to keep you playing for hours.

Improvements I would like to see

• The game could have more fast-forward settings to save time, currently there are only two speeds (normal and 2x).
• It would be helpful to have a simple guide in the menu that explains every Bloon type, for those of us who struggle to memorize them all.

Final Verdict

Bloons TD 6 is a fantastic choice if you want a game that is both relaxing and mentally rewarding. It looks like a cartoon, but it plays like a serious strategy title that gives you total control over how you win. Whether you want to play casually on your lunch break or spend hours perfecting your layout, it offers a huge amount of variety that never feels boring.

Best for: Everyone who loves tower defense games, this is one of the absolute best.
