“В бтд5 я начал играть еще будучи 6-ти летним ребенком, который играл во взломанную флеш версию. Тогда, для меня бтд5 реально было чем-то тем, что вот я смотрю и понимаю, мол да, в это я и буду играть 24/7 До выхода…”
“BTD 6 is right there man.”

— a player, Steam review · 82 hrs played“There is way too much gameplay for such a little price”
— a player, Steam review · 63 hrs played“Miserable 100% The co-op achievements are tedious due to not being able to autoplay the rounds, you need to start every single round manually. And the Random Missions are nothing but tedious, just eats your time. But overall a good game!”
