The Storm gathers, and only true Heroes can stem the Bloon tide. Gather up your cards, choose your favorite Hero, and enter the Arena to claim victory! From the makers of Bloons TD 6 comes a revolutionary collectible card game featuring the fan-favorite Monkeys and Bloons, rendered and animated in gorgeous 3D. Develop deep strategies, build your collection by crafting awesome cards, and carefully construct decks to help you win PvP and single player games. Featuring 4 unique Heroes with 3 Hero Abilities each, 130+ cards at launch, and 5 different Arenas to battle on, the tactical combinations are endless!

USE HERO ABILITIES WISELY Playing Bloons will power up Hero Abilities that can turn the tide of battle in your favor.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bloons Card Storm at 4.6 against Widgle's 3.8. Bloons Card Storm also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Widgle's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bloons Card Storm sells 30 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bloons Card Storm holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloons Card Storm has 2.9K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Widgle's written reviews are positive against 59% of Bloons Card Storm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Widgle ships an update every 5 weeks, Bloons Card Storm every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
