Bloons Monkey City - Classic tower defense hit meets versatile city building

Bloons Monkey City was released in 2014, and it's another successful installment in the Bloons Tower Defense series. The difference with this one is that, in addition to the classic levels, there is city building where you can expand and improve your city over time.

Fun for a wide range of players

Developer and publisher Ninja Kiwi appeals to a very wide target group with the strategy game, as fans of the Bloons Tower Defense community come from City-Building titles. In particular, children will also enjoy Bloons Monkey City because of the graphics in the cartoon style and the child-friendly conflict between balloons and monkeys.

So if you've already loved games like SimCity, Clash of Clans, or one of the predecessors of the Bloons Tower Defense series, you shouldn't miss Bloons Monkey City.

Complex gameplay for a long-term adventure

At first glance, Bloons Monkey City looks like a typical city-building game: you start with a modest settlement and try to build new buildings with coins and work to provide your monkey residents with an idyllic and pronounced cityscape. But you will quickly find that there will be no room for new buildings at some point. To gain new areas for your growing metropolis, you first have to free them from the Bloon armies. For this you get into a typical tower defense battle, in which you burst the balloons with the help of different monkey species (e.g. magician monkey or ninja monkey), cannons and other tools. If you defeat the balloons after an exciting battle through your tactical and strategic understanding, the area belongs to you and you can expand your monkey city.

So your modest settlement can develop into a huge metropolis through sophisticated balloon battles and its own economic system, providing a home for numerous monkeys. That's why the strategy game is also a long-term adventure.

Advanced friends system promises even more fun

But that wasn't all, because the online and friends system in Bloons Monkey City also convinced. While you discover and admire the cities of your friends, you can find so-called Bloon spies to get a reward for you and your friend. In addition, you can send each other supply boxes and even fight together against Bloon armies.

Through the friends system in Bloons Monkey City, the strategy game gains immense gameplay and sets itself apart even further through this feature.

More video game hits from Ninja Kiwi

In addition to Bloons Monkey City, Ninja Kiwi is mainly world-famous for its (already mentioned several times) Bloons Tower Defense series. Even if the titles Bloons Tower Defense 1 to 6 all have the same gameplay, the success did not fail with any of the games. The secret to success: Develop a simple, timeless and yet exciting game idea into a complex system through numerous features, extras and new updates.

This is exactly the recipe for success that Ninja Kiwi also used in Bloons Monkey City, which is why success also did not fail here.
