CookieRun: Kingdom

I liked when the cookie said "It's CookieRun time" and kingdom'd all over. Truly a game of all time.

I'm not gonna beat around the bush with this one - Cookie Run: Kingdom is good, but......
That's all you need to know. The 'but' is a major factor as to why Cookie Run: Kingdom is slowly losing its mass appeal and dominance in the gacha game industry.
The story is weird from the get-go: there are cookies and one of them realizes that their entire purpose is to be eaten by the witches.
The end? No, except it becomes a tedious story of traversing roads, forests, academies and kingdoms (like in the name) to meet some cookies that..... have titles and also neat little costumes from the rainbow gacha (which is the best part of the gacha system, don't get me wrong; it's just that I'd rather pull for the costumes of the rare cookies than get the new Epic cookies in their gacha.) Yeah, the LORE is not strong with this one.
Are the events fun? Well, not really, they're just reskins of previous months' events, but with a different theme. 'There's a mission to play a level 100 times? Cool, we'll just theme it around the new epic cookie no one cares about and make it super easy by letting them use time skips.'
Also, there's just far too many events. I would open up the app one day to see like 20 unlocked achievements in the events tab. Like, thanks for the free rewards, but is that necessary?
The game is generous to the point that it's disgusting. I could get the new epic cookie or legendary by pulling 10x times (which is REALLY EASY btw), but the super-epics are just..... PAIN to obtain. Way to balance it out, devs 👍
Soundtrack is good, but the battle and lobby music are kinda sorta overplayed. That's why the only time I'd consider coming back to play the game is in December or January, where the Christmas music starts playing. Oh yeah, that is MUSIC alright.
Not much else to say then. It's a good game with characters that have their own equally powerful uses, guilds through which one can connect with other players, and some great collaborations that honestly impress me with how the company achieves these. I know it didn't sound like a lot of praise for the game, but I did say I would be back, didn't I?
Oh, yeah, play the game if you haven't already. It's newbie-friendly nowadays, with a lot of rewards to boot.

This game is a wash, rinse, repeat event fest. Needs variety.

First thoughts and early review: Well, first impressions are important to me in games, because as someone who has played a lot of games I can somewhat gauge what a game is all about and whether it's good from how it feels. That said, Cookie run: Tower adventures is an excellent game as you'll see from the images provided. Be it aurally, visually, narratively, or gameplay, every aspect of the game this far feels well polished and crafted with love.

I Really like the graphics, music and Story! But when I logged into cookie run kingdom, It said there's an Update so I went to tap tap since the new version of cookie run kingdom isn't available on my device but tap tap doesn't show the update button anymore so I had to uninstall cookie run kingdom to download the new version. But overall, It's a good game! I recommend it for the ones who like building games, Adventure games and gacha games

it's a fine game, for what it is. however, i don't really see it lasting for longer than a year. maybe two if we're lucky— mostly just because it's one of those tap 3 (er, i guess tap 2 this time around) type games. i personally find it a bit bizarre that they'd animate things + add voice acting to this, but it's (mostly) a welcome surprise imo. mostly because it makes it a bit different from usual games like this.
