★★★★★ Your just bad (sorry)
Thu Mar 30 2023 TheseNicknameRestrictionsSuckThe game is great. I think that of course, during the beginning stages of the game it kinda sucked, but now they have fixed a lot of bugs and balanced out a lot. If your complaint is that "ooh ddts are too fast" thats your problem, not the devs or the game, the game is ment to be challenging, your supposed to cone up with a way to counter ddts. Monkeys aren't weak, you just aren't synergyising and or picking good upgrade paths that fit with your playstyle.
The monkeys dont cost "too much money" you are just lazy, not only have they lowered the cost for like everything but they have a lot of event "tournaments" that once you complete them you get in total around 3000 monkey money, that's enough to buy 3 monkeys or one and a 5th teir, and I dont even play this game that often, so im not just sitting in a room playing a game about monkeys and baloons for the whole day.
Lastly I do like the first btd battles, I think it might even be a bit better, but I prefer having three upgrade paths instead of two, and this goes for ALL games, JUST BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS GAME WAS BETTER, DOES NOT MAKE THE NEW ONE WORSE, if you like the previous game, THEN PLAY IT and stop takin a dump on the new one bc the old one was better.
Thats all
★★★★★ Great but missing some things
Mon Jul 21 2025 ohm bhandaryBattles 2 is a really good game but it’s just lacking. Most of the ballon’s games are popular till the new one comes but battles 2 is just different. Firstly the updates are just so infrequent. In its prime ninja kiwi barely updated it. It was mostly one update per 5 months and now they are not making new things. They added bananzas the cobra and street party the song. I know thy are trying to bring back everything that was good but I think they need completely new things instead of remaking the older ones. Now I’m not saying for them to make better updates but I’m saying that they should have made new things and update that game way more when it was popular instead of the others just to appeal to the players of the other games. They sadly can’t change this but also they are still missing the towers from btd 6. Not just the hero’s because they are complicated but the towers like the beast handler or the mer monkey. Even with this you guys can even make some monthly events for them like every 9th you make an event to get one of these monkeys. Or even make a new one in battles like a balloon sender or what it’s called but then that could be upgraded to something that makes 1.1x eco or one that makes balloons send faster. Anyways this is a very good game but it’s lacking.
★★★★★ Ruined
Sat Jan 21 2023 wat are nanasOk so I have been a fan of BTD since 4, and have played all the games following, BTD battles was such a great game, and really all that should have changed for the new one is the towers and upgrades, that’s it, tons of people would have played it, all the og guys would love it. Well instead they kinda took out everything that made the first one fun to grind. So let me explain; it has the same system where you make money and buy monkeys, except you fully unlock all the tiers except the 5th which you will never get to in a game, not sure why that was changed. So there’s still xp and universal xp except it’s actually useless besides overpriced skins. Literally everything has micro transactions trying to get 5000 money to grab a new specialist is literally impossible because you make 100 a game so have fun playing 50 15 minute games to get one guy which would take 12 hours added up. Ranked it actually useless now too lol, there’s no cash pool and the prizes are priory much the same for a normal match. So there’s not really a point to play this as there’s nothing to grind for, you just spend $5 to buy a specialist try them a couple times, lose to a Gatling gunner, and never play it again. To all the showcases reviews that say they love the game they all are wrong and either stopped playing by now or is paying to actually unlock stuff. End of rant, just remake old BTD battles with new characters and upgrades from 6, super easy and would make an actual decent game.
★★★★★ Fun, unique, original. Just one problem.
Fri May 19 2023 bloons lover 777this might be my favorite tower defense game of all time ( except for 6 ) not only is it free, it comes with a whole new concept that isn't seen anywhere else. The “battles” part. You compete against another player, whoever depletes their lifes first, loses simple but fun! So you might be wondering why i rated this 4 stars. Thats because of balancing. In this game you are 3 types of people. The spammer, the late-gamer, and the normal player. And let me tell you, the spammers are a real problem. Not to mention that for people who want a good late game match, usually cant get that from the sheer amount of people with no skill sending rushes. And dont get me wrong, i know thats the point of the game, but its so annoying when they spam you, you can defend easily, and then they cant even take their own medicine when you spam them back. All i want is a good long match and instead i get a bunch of regen rainbow blooms. Also round 27 ddt rush. I Yayy! Now this doesn't mean that you cant rush, i totally encourage it, as long as you do it right! Also one more thing, please, and i mean please nerf Jericho. PLEASE.
★★★★★ Super fun game, but customer service is nonexistent!
Mon Mar 20 2023 mahimama8I absolutely love this game. The monkeys are fun and I love that they add new game modes and rewards. However, the two biggest issues I have are with updates and connections. I do not think the game should allow u to enter a match if you have 2 bars of connection or less. There have been numerous times I have lost because the other player has poor connection but the game states it’s me. I have reported this issue with pictures showing it was not my connection but theirs but the issue persists. As for the updates, they aren’t huge or take awhile but they’re kind of a pain. This latest one “version 1.9.3” states I need to update, but when I click on it there is no button to update it so I can’t play the game. This wouldn’t be terrible because I assume it will get fixed, but I just spent money on VIP so time will be “stolen” from that until it does. Both times I have contacted NinjaKiwi, and neither time have I gotten a response or reply. Disapppointing…
★★★★★ Arena Leagues was a turn for the worst.
Tue Jun 18 2024 reviwernumber19337I am a dedicated battles 2 player who has played since launch. The game has been getting better and better over time, but this new arena leagues updates is absolutely terrible. You can no longer play ranked at your own pace. You can no longer just stop in and play a few matches. You are forced to play over and over and over again just so you don’t get demoted or progress. The old system had nothing wrong with it, and should not have been replaced. This needs system was made to decrease matchmaking times. While I have noticed that I get into games faster than before, it is absolutely not worth the loss of being able to play at your own pace. I would much prefer slower matchmaking if it meant I could play when I want without feeling like I am being taken hostage. Please revert the ranked system. I have not played ranked for weeks because I have a life, I have responsibilities, and I can’t afford to spend hours upon hours each day grinding wins just to progress. The introduction of Etienne was very good. He introduced a lot more stratagy to the game, and I have been looking forward to him for a very long time. The update would have been amazing if not for this new ranked system that ruined everything.
★★★★★ Such a Disappointment
Sat Nov 11 2023 adamtiburon23This game is poorly optimized, my iPhone 11 gets hot after a few battles. There’s constant lag, sync issues in game, lag when you use a tower boost which is very bad because usually I’m boosting only if I’m about to die and by the time I press it and the game receives the command I’m already dead because the boost didn’t activate. The UI is too small, I have no idea if certain bloons sent to me are camos, compare this with battles 1 where it is blatantly obvious if camos were sent. There’s lag when you sell towers, which makes micro harder. The bloon pathing is very confusing for new players. There’s certain maps that change the pathing of the bloons each round or remove towers off the map with map changes, just things completely unnecessary that frustrate new players. Late game doesn’t exist anymore either. The game ends round 50 in normal mode. There’s also no stats for opposing players. In battles one you can click on a player’s profile before a match begins and see how good they are with win/loss and badges. If there’s one issue I can put in particular why I’m deleting the game though, it’s the small UI. I’ve lost several games where I had no idea what bloons were sent to me. Are they camo purples or camo leads? I don’t know they look the same to me.
★★★★★ I love the game but
Thu Mar 20 2025 BluRayJay1229I have played Ninja Kiwi games for almost 20 years now and I’ve never been disappointed. The game itself is absolutely awesome, and I love that they continue to find new things to add and things to improve in. I myself did get the VIP membership. It’s less than 10$ and lasts a life time, it’s well worth it. The ONLY thing that has been KILLING the game for me lately since the 4.6 version update has released, is that 90% of the time when I try to upgrade the super monkey to the Sun God temple, it forces me into a forfeit due to “connection issues”. I never had this issue prior to this update, and it’s really disappointing and frustrating to invest so much into a game, or even just a single match, just to end because it refuses to let me upgrade a tower. I hope they fix this soon, but unfortunately until they do the most powerful tower in he game is completely broken and useless for me. And it really makes it impossible to win in any situation where the opponent has the SM/ SMT. I’m hoping to have customer service reach out and get a handle on this.
