If I'm being honest, I rather just buy bloons TD either 5 or 6 and play that instead.

You need to leave the game open for THOUSANDS of hours to get to the end-game, not even to 100% the game, just to reach the endgame. It's also extremely pay to win and the ads popping on your face is very annoying. The game is also just a port from a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile game to PC Not worth it
