Been getting better!
Thu May 23 2024 yes im way better than youAs a long time cookie run fan, I’m so happy to see the Devsisters listening to their fans! You can now use your special moves three times other than one (if at a certain level) getting the giant bear jelly blast moves is a lot more common now! They made the levels in general a lot easier by putting blocks that actually help you demolish the ones you need in order to beat the level. There’s even a new set of levels that were a lot easier than the previous ones💕you receive event gifts more frequent now too!
I’ve been seeing the devsisters getting so much backlash and hate from this game. Which I really think it is way more than what they deserve since the game is still new and it is getting better. Yes there are things that still need work (like being able to buy furniture that you already received and getting 5 cookies or instead of just one or just being able to get more in the gacha by a single draw imo) but you can really see they are listening to their criticism and you should give them credit for that. I’m so happy to be a cookierun fan and I hope this game will keep improving!
Good game but could be easier for F2P players.
Wed Mar 20 2024 Bluemoon978I was very excited for the game to come out and see what it had to offer. It’s overall an amazing game but needs various ways to get items easier without paying money. The seasonal Gacha currency is not always available to have unless you buy the pass to get extra. This makes it hard for players to get seasonal cookies like Witchberry. The friend event was a good way, but to need each friend to get to level 10 seems a bit much, especially if they aren’t interested. A better way to do this would be get 4 friends to play or invite 10 friends. Levels like 70 are extremely hard and i couldn’t beat it without using at least 3 power ups first. I saw many people complaining about the same thing. The same apply for level 60 and maybe 50 for some. Another thing is Witchberry being a guest cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom. You have to beat the first chapter, level 70, and all you get is a guest cookie as a reward. You get more things but Witchberry is what people are looking forward to and possibly using her in arena. She’d be a good epic cookie, especially for beginners, because there no massive grinding involved in getting her. This would be a good way to get people to play both games for different rewards in each. It’s an amazing game but it could be better.
Tons of fun, but a bit unfair
Thu Dec 19 2024 psykee8i haven’t wrote many reviews before, but i felt compelled to write one here because of something that i just experienced. so, i’ve had the game for a few weeks now and i’ve enjoyed it a lot! i have experience with previous cookierun games, and haven’t had a truly negative experience. however, since downloading this game - i’ve been experiencing game crashes. it’s not the biggest deal in the world, but i have a stable internet connection and have made space for the capacity of this game, so i don’t understand why it happens so often - however that’s not my main issue. my main issue is with the fact that it mainly crashes whenever i try to participate in the gacha mechanic in the game and it steals the coins/tickets i used without giving me whatever i rolled. i just attempted to draw my first ten (10) cookies with coins and when it got to the icing screen, the game crashed and when i opened it again, i no longer had my full amount of gacha coins or anything to show for my usage of them. i’ve had this happen with the gacha tickets a few times, but not to the point of major concern (until now). i do genuinely enjoy this game, i just feel robbed and i wanted to share this experience as an attempt to air my grievances.
Not Free-Player Friendly
Thu Apr 04 2024 goog1994I’ve been brightly looking forward to this game ever since I heard that it would be coming out over a year ago. I was really excited for GingerDozer’s return into a Cookie Run game for the first time in over a decade, as he is my favorite cookie. However, this game turned out to be very disappointing in terms of gameplay. Don’t get me wrong, the art, cutscenes, and story are all great and stunning to look at (especially GingerDozer, he’s adorable!). But the rest of the game lags behind in quality. I’m at level 95 (or something close to that) and it’s completely impossible to progress now. It’s painstakingly obvious that if you want to get anywhere in the game, you need to pay for boosters, more moves, or power-ups. If the levels are as hard as they are now, you’d have to pay hundreds just to get anywhere in the game! I don’t want to have to spend my money just to enjoy Dozer’s much-deserved return into a game (this is the only reason I played). Not even to mention the horrid gacha system and how it’s nearly impossible to get currency to draw from the special cookie gacha. That is, unless you pay for currency. When you do end up with a draw, you have to roll dice for five separate categories and there’s only a chance that you’ll be able to then roll for a cookie. I wanted to be able to enjoy a game with Dozer/ GingerDozer, but this game is anything but enjoyable to play. Please, do better next time.
Amazing! Just a few tiiiiny problems!
Sat Mar 16 2024 A.B.L.SEver since I discovered Cookie Run, I have absolutely loved it from the designs to the lore to the gameplay. And this new game is just amazing! I only have a few issues that could be fixed. One thing is the rewards. When you play and get rewards, it doesn’t really give you a lot to work with. Like, the gacha is 1000 coins, yet the max you can get from completing a level is around 200 coins max, so you really have to grind in order to roll once. The other problem I have is the level difficulty. Some of these levels get hard out of nowhere. I’ve only got stuck on two levels: a few levels right before the boss battle between the sheriff, and level 68. I’m stuck on level 68 bc there is simply either A) too many things to collect or B) not enough moves to complete it. I even used up all of my sidebar tools, and yet it didn’t do much. These issues are small, and completely understandable for a game that had just released a couple days ago.
But, with these issues, this game has massive potential like the others before it!
Needs work
Wed Mar 20 2024 Firebyte27I picked up this game because I love the cookie run franchise, and blockbuster games, but I found this game lacking. For starters, while I fully acknowledge that ftp games need microtransactions and advertisements giving currency and lives, but I really don’t like the seemingly endless cap on ads I can watch. I watched ads for lives on the first day, but I haven’t seen this option since launch. And I only ever claimed the “once a day package,” on the day of release. On top of that, RNG for the blocks seems to be rigged against the player so you’ll get so close to the end of the stage only to be told you don’t have enough moves. That being said, this is by far one of the most generous games when it comes to periods of infinite attempts to complete levels, and while I think there needs to be a way for cookies to passively recover energy, it’s definitely one of the least insulting freemium games I’ve seen, and getting to see cookies that haven’t appeared since the earliest days of the franchise and hear cookies that never appeared in kingdom like gingerbright and gingerdozer talk is nice! I hope this game gets some patches to fix these issues, as it’s barely beneath the hypothetical line where it begins to realize its potential!
Expected more.
Sat May 11 2024 homi.iced.coffeeI’m a big cookie fan! I’ve played both Ovenbreak and Kingdom. I was excited for a simple block puzzle game and for the most part it’s really easy! However the currency and gatcha system is the worst I’ve ever seen.
You get two types of currency, coin and diamond. You use 1,000 coins per gatcha pull where a random set of 3 dice will roll landing on one of 5 things you could get. It is nearly impossible to unlock new cookies because you keep getting useless pets that do nothing but walk around the castle, don’t even aid you in puzzles. AND you can only use your diamonds to pull if you don’t have enough coins. Your coins however are also needed for moving in any cookie’s into rooms. The furniture options also feel very limited as you only get them through the gatcha, achievements, or by unlocking a room with it.
I wish it was easier to get diamonds and the cookie gatcha was separate. I want to be able to buy duplicates of furniture I’ve already won and for the pets to ether not exist or give me a benefit to owning them.
Other then that the game is simple and good to watch colors go pop. I just hope they learn.
Never received promised preregistration decors
Thu Mar 21 2024 Irena BrockThey had people who play CRK preregister and do quests on another site and promised we would get an exclusive decor for preregistered. I finished all the quests like many others and on launch day never got the decor. Only received the diamonds and gold for CRK but never the promised “exclusive item” for preregistration. They literally posted what the item was in their Twitter and were showcasing it, nowhere in the details did it say it was limited to however many, it just said if you preregister you get the item after completing all the quests which myself and others did and nobody got the decor we were promised. Devsisters has had ample time to fix this issue yet they haven’t, they just announce other giveaways and events instead of correcting their first major mistakes with the launch of this game. The false advertisement of an exclusive item to get people to preregister for a game is ridiculous. If you promise your players who preregistered exclusive items you should actually give us the items since we had to put or devID into the preregistration website to receive our items and we know you can easily just give us the items since we got our diamonds and gold already.
