  • Charming and adorable character designs with great animations and voice acting.
  • Engaging story and lore that adds depth and appeal beyond typical puzzle games.
  • Fun and addictive gameplay with various modes, including decorating aspects and mini games, suitable for casual play.
  • Severe difficulty spikes at higher levels making progression frustrating and often pay-to-win.
  • Gacha system is complex, grindy, and unfair, often requiring multiple random rolls and making it difficult to obtain desired cookies.
  • Frequent crashes, bugs, and performance issues significantly disrupt gameplay experience on many devices.

  • story

    198 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    52% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 2% negative mentions

    The story in this game is widely praised for its charming characters, engaging lore, and high-quality animations, often cited as the best aspect of the experience. However, many players find progression slow and tedious, as advancing the story requires completing increasingly difficult, sometimes frustrating, and RNG-heavy levels, which can diminish overall enjoyment. Despite mixed feelings about gameplay, the story remains a strong draw for fans of the franchise.

    • “The animation, story, and voice-acting are impeccable, too!”
    • “The story, animation, and cookie designs are simply the best.”
    • “The opening, the cutscenes, and the story are the best parts of this game.”
    • “It now takes a few days to beat just one level, and it might take you 6-8 levels to unlock the next part of the story.”
    • “Also, the story is somewhat dragging on, which doesn't help that it takes me a week to unlock the next part of the story just to get a minute cutscene which then drags me to another side plot needing more levels.”
    • “I am no longer able to progress in the story because of how long it takes to beat one level to get one star out of many needed to progress.”

  • gameplay

    149 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 47% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally described as familiar and accessible match-3 puzzle mechanics with some strategic elements and character abilities, offering a satisfying and engaging loop for fans of the genre. However, many users criticize the gameplay for difficulty spikes, repetitive and grindy nature, heavy reliance on RNG, and a frustrating gacha system that undermines progression and enjoyment. While the gameplay is supported by strong art and story elements, it is often seen as lacking innovation and occasionally feels unbalanced or pay-to-win.

    • “The animations, art, gameplay, designs, music and voice acting are all so professional!”
    • “Love the animations and gameplay, the different abilities of the cookies, the decoration, the story element etc. very polished!”
    • “The gameplay is quite satisfying and, I was initially drawn to it by the witches lore, and it's not disappointing.”
    • “The gameplay, however, is very disappointing.”
    • “And then the gameplay gets so hard so quickly to incentivize you to pay just to play at all, since there isn't endless lives.”
    • “The massive amount of uninspired, repetitive gameplay here is an absolute chore.”

  • graphics

    78 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    47% positive mentions, 49% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The game's graphics and art style are widely praised for being cute, charming, and well-animated, with many highlighting the appealing character designs and polished visuals. However, performance issues like lag, crashes, and lack of graphic settings affect playability on some devices, and some find the presentation overshadowed by frustrating gameplay and monetization mechanics. Overall, the visuals stand out as the strongest and most enjoyable aspect of the game.

    • “The graphics down to the details are amazing, the gameplay is smooth and overall it's also pretty satisfying with the usage of strategy.”
    • “The game's art style is definitely the most well made out of all the other Cookie Run games, and it's quite generous about giving rewards.”
    • “Been a huge fan since CRK, the graphics, the story, the animation, everything is magical.”
    • “Once it got to the bit with Gingerbrave the visuals came on but then the audio went away and it was moving at 2fps. The art is cute but I can barely play without abysmal lagging or audio issues.”
    • “I love the art style and the surface game, but I have to give it 3 stars because the problem is, it won't stop crashing every 10-15 levels/puzzles and it makes my phone heat up!”
    • “This might be because my device isn't strong enough; however, there are no options to lower any graphics or performance settings.”

  • monetization

    57 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    5% positive mentions, 21% neutral mentions, 74% negative mentions

    Monetization in the game is widely criticized for being overly aggressive and heavily focused on microtransactions, creating a frustrating pay-to-win experience with scarce in-game resources and difficult levels. While ads are mostly optional and non-intrusive for some players, others report intrusive pop-ups, frequent ads, and technical issues with ad rewards. Overall, many feel the game prioritizes monetization over fair gameplay, making it feel like a cash grab despite occasional praise for cosmetic purchases and optional ads.

    • “I'm now closer to level 300 without making any microtransactions.”
    • “The monetization aspects of the game are aggressive as ever, but given that they're largely cosmetic and play less of a role in being able to engage and progress in the game, it's not as bad as other Cookie Run titles.”
    • “Very well designed and I personally really like how they designed the monetization, with great rewards and extras!”
    • “I find myself playing for ages, and still not having enough materials to actually use the gachas at their full potential, not to mention the in-app purchases; these games are forming an unhealthy pay-to-win issue, and I hope it doesn't get worse.”
    • “Although the overpriced season pass and multiple pop-ups advertising packages to buy after every single level is way too much.”
    • “It's so obvious this game is just a cash grab because it's so desperate for you to spend money on it by barely giving you any crystals and making the levels so hard that some of them will take you more than 50 tries before you finally beat them.”

  • stability

    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    3% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 97% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent freezing and crashing issues, especially during gameplay, gacha pulls, cutscenes, and menu navigation, often requiring restarts and causing loss of progress. These stability problems are exacerbated by poor offline support and performance on weaker devices or bad internet connections, significantly detracting from the overall experience despite the game's fun elements. While some bugs have been addressed since launch, the game remains notably buggy and unstable.

    • “After entering the game, after completing a level, after pulling from the gacha every single time it freezes and I have to close and reopen the game.”
    • “However, every time I go to play the game it freezes halfway through gameplay, this leads me to have to restart the game and lose a heart/progress on that level.”
    • “0 stars every time I click on the quests I'm able to claim them but I can't exit the quest menu so I have to close the game then when I reopen it freezes and the only way to unfreeze it is to delete the game and then redownload it.”

  • grinding

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is widely considered tedious and time-consuming, especially due to the slow accumulation of in-game currency and the difficult gacha system. Many players find progression and farming for resources like crystals and tickets to be frustratingly slow without paying, making the gameplay feel repetitive and heavily pay-to-win. Despite some enjoyment from the story and gameplay, the grind detracts significantly from the overall experience.

    • “Getting money is also tedious; you get around 200 if you perfectly clear one level (which is difficult after level 60), and the gacha system itself is extremely greedy.”
    • “The gameplay was fun at first but then got super tedious and became a struggle to get a single level done.”
    • “Grinding for the gems is too time-consuming; I think this company doesn't appreciate their consumers.”

  • character development

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    78% positive mentions, 9% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The character development in the game is widely praised for its adorable, well-animated, and charming designs, considered a highlight consistent with the Cookie Run franchise. The story and character lore are also positively noted, contributing to the game's appeal. However, enthusiasm for the characters is sometimes tempered by gameplay and gacha system frustrations, though these issues do not diminish the appreciation for the character artistry and narrative depth.

    • “I love the cookie run franchise, here's my honest day 1 review: really cute character designs, wonderfully animated cutscenes... visuals and voice acting = 10/10.”
    • “Amazing character designs, and a lot more chill to play than other cookie run games.”
    • “It's really really really fun and has the best character design in all the cookie run games.”
    • “This game is good when it comes to aesthetics and looks, the graphics are amazing along with story, and rewriting of characters and character designs, but the pros end there. The gameplay is very hard and is based more on luck than skill. Even though it gets harder and harder, levels become difficult to complete due to the difficulty and limited available support. The gacha system is frustrating, gives unwanted items, and is difficult to use.”
    • “The game was promising with the character designs but the gacha is far too stingy and the difficulty spike around level 70 makes it impossible to play without paying gems for boosters.”
    • “The character designs are really pretty and the story is actually really good, but the game struggles with balancing character progression and gameplay difficulty.”

  • optimization

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 47% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Users consistently report poor optimization, with frequent stuttering, crashes, and performance issues, especially on older devices. The lack of graphics or performance settings to adjust makes it difficult to improve gameplay smoothness, and many hope for serious optimization updates to enhance stability and overall experience.

    • “It's so well optimized, and no other mobile app has this level of optimization. Please, Cookie Run, keep it up!”
    • “Sometimes the game runs smoothly.”
    • “I do have an older phone, but I wish there were more graphics-related settings to improve performance.”
    • “My main complaint is how poorly optimized it is for my device.”
    • “This game has so many bugs, ranging from audio not working, lobby BGM playing in cutscenes, to microstuttering even on emulator with high-range GPU (yes, this game is so unoptimized).”
    • “My main issue is that it keeps stuttering and crashing for me, mainly after gacha pulls and during cutscenes.”

  • music

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    46% positive mentions, 31% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for being lovely, cute, and professionally composed, contributing positively to the overall aesthetic and atmosphere. Some users highlight the soundtrack as amazing and enjoy the overlapping of main menu and scene music. However, a few players experience technical issues affecting the music and sound.

    • “The animations, art, gameplay, designs, music, and voice acting are all so professional!”
    • “The positives: some beautiful art, lovely music, the puzzles are fun for a while!”
    • “Pretty fun game with good mechanics and a good soundtrack!”
    • “The music of the scenes and the music of the main menu are overlapping.”
    • “Game is good but why can't I hear voice lines or music even though I have full volume and no silent mode?”
    • “The most recent update won't allow me to open the game; it loads the opening screen and music, but after that it's a blank screen with no sound.”

  • humor

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is generally perceived as light and occasionally funny, with some users appreciating the voice acting and story. However, execution issues and overwhelming monetization elements detract from the comedic impact for many players. Overall, the humor shows potential but is inconsistent.

    • “Honestly, pretty good kinda funny with the things they do, but still, I hope they cook with this game it has potential.”
    • “It's hilarious seeing devs put so much effort into the billionth toy blast clone on the app store.”
    • “It's cute, it's funny, it's all at.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Replayability is generally praised for its addictive and engaging style, with ongoing updates and added modes enhancing longevity. However, some users find the replay value less compelling. Overall, the game offers solid but somewhat mixed replayability.

    • “Surprisingly, Team Kingdom seems committed to keeping this title going; they have made a number of changes to make the stages more playable and added more modes for engagement and longevity.”
    • “It's got a really fun, replayable style that's easily addictive.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The emotional aspect is described as impactful and intense, delivering a powerful effect comparable to combining two powerups. This suggests the game evokes strong feelings through its mechanics or moments.
