co op private match is so glitchy, disconnects me from my partner who is literally in the same room as me and fails to connect right after a working game, it's super frustrating and honestly disappointing. fun game, but if you want to play with your friend. good luck to ya, it's barely possible except when the game doesn't wanna have a stroke
★★★★ Madisyn Auch 1/27/2026
Repetitive, pay-to-play despite being a game you have to pay full price for anyway. Every level follows the same pattern and you can use the same combination of towers to clear everything. Some levels are so ridiculous with the amount of balloons they send you literally have to use certain towers in order to beat them. There's no room to experiment, just follow the formula (and purchase the necessary agents to pass certain levels) over and over until there's nothing left to do.
★★★★ Boi i 1/24/2026 v4.7
Overrated garbage. Significantly worse than BTD 6. Anybody saying this game is better has genuinely horrendous taste in anything and everything
★★★★ Cadence Carter 10/6/2025 v4.6
i can't even manage to finish a single run without the app completely closing. just can't get past the same wave, regardless.
★★★★ Michael York 9/6/2025 v4.6
bought a new phone. sold my old one and now can't access my account because you can't link Facebook account. Awesome! Thanks!
★★★★ Oscar Bauge Fjellsbø 8/31/2025 v4.6
online multiplayer gets stuck on "testing game connection"

★★★★ Marcus Ale 8/17/2025 v4.6
I spent $20 to gain more money in game and it didnt give me anything. app closed on me. absolute rubbish
★★★★ Mars 8/3/2025
Really needs a setting that turns down all the flashing lights. game is unfortunately too migraine inducing for me to play at all!
★★★★ Logan K 7/11/2025 v4.6
incredibly boring and unbalanced. game forces you to use specific towers and no matter what map youre on, same exact bloons on the same exact rounds requiring the same exact strategy. you beat one lvl you beat them all. Having to lvl up towers to unlock their abilities is dumb and just makes it impossible to win early on unless you play on easy. Also, why are there SO MANY MICRO TRASACTIONS?!?! I already paid for the game why is it pay to win. could say so much more but I dont have enough room.
★★★★ Tyler Ryan 5/27/2025 v4.5
I feel embarrassed to have even played it
★★★★ Paul Arendt 3/25/2025 v4.5
love this game
★★★★ Myumin Gyundogan 3/23/2025
I need a refund it got boring so I need a refund like why doesn't it let me refund if I'm not gonna play the game such a scam
★★★★ Kris Tolbert 2/11/2025 v4.5
Too many bugs. In Co op, you can't send money to anyone if anything is under the menu that comes out to give money and the menu covers a good 30% of your side to do so. Also it doesn't let you play towers close to the outside edge in Co op even though you can in single player. And it is SOOOO stupid after every round, it cancels towers you are trying to place. That makes me mad especially since you can't talk to your team mates during a match to tell them to wait so I can place a tower.. FIX IT!
★★★★★ dodge man 4/20/2026 v4.7
fun when it works right multiplayer hardly works wish they'd fix the bugs and multiplayer. game stole my money as well
★★★★★ Friendly Protogen 11/28/2025 v3.21
can no longer play online with friends and been that way for years.
★★★★★ Blake Aragon 11/15/2025 v4.6
Resets my progress this is the 3rd time I've redownloaded this game over the span of months in between and everytime it resets everything so no saved progress. the only thing I have are my achievements but I have to unlock everything again and spend tokens to upgrade again?? I wish this would get fixed. love BTD but this is not fun
★★★★★ Brian Hemenway 10/12/2025 v4.6

★★★★★ Colin Napoka 6/2/2025 v4.5
purchases does not restore. have the option to but does not work. try to rebuy too? does not work let you. broken in-game store
★★★★★ Lamb Casual Experience 5/12/2025 v4.5
Great game but CO-OP is hit and miss. I also don't have my cosmetic skin I paid for so knock a bit more off.
★★★★★ John Taylor 3/4/2025
game is great but btd5 doesn't have an ability to save your progress to change devices, they have done this on all other games they have but this still doesn't have it. i would be willing to change this rating to 5 stars once this simple update happens.
