Ninja Kiwi’s Bloons TD 6 can be considered one of the best games in the Tower Defense genre. Serving as the sequel to 2011’s Bloons TD 5, the sixth entry of the mainline series was released back in 2018 for Android, iOS, and Windows. Ports for other platforms started to launch in the following years, with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S being the latest to get BTD6 on September 5, 2023. Suffice it to say, when it comes to the Tower Defense genre, Bloons TD6 reigns supreme.
