One thing? Buddy I can provide several Cookie Alliance: being forced to make several teams of cookies, which should be at their strongest, only to have them nerfed and not even be able to choose the timing for their attacks has gotten tiring real quick. Some will waste their skills on enemies that are one hit to being knocked out. Master Mode: level 50 cap? Fine, sure. But removing the bond effects and any other possible investment you've made? Straight up disrespectful. I'm not asking for them to make it easy, but I'd much rather have the enemies programmed to be harder and tankier (maybe even smarter), than having any progress you've made in the game being nuked into the pits of hell. Toppings: they are one of the most essential things to building cookies, but if your luck sucks then you better pray to RNGesus because you'll be wasting a shit ton of money and topping pieces on a lot of toppings. Possibly not even getting decent substats on most of them, but you need the toppings because the meta is always changing and you need a safety net. Tree of Wishes: the rewards are not worth it. Straight up. The amount of aurora materials you get in comparison to the time and resources you dedicate to the tree is just awful. Not to mention, sometimes it directly competes with the train. Refined Powders: keeping track of which powders you have isn't too bad, and I'll admit getting either Powders or Pristine Powders isn't the worst thing... but Refined Powders? Holy fucking shit, they're barely anywhere. The only place I see them is in the bounty section, but why even bother getting them for the time being? The way candies are upgraded, you're better off trying to get as many crystals as possible because you will need to farm them more times than you can think. The fact that we're getting more candies as time goes on doesn't help either! We're going to be getting crystal after crystal after crystal because candies need so many. And event rewards always give the Pristine Powders, while fountain always gives the Powders. Why is there no other source for Refined Powders? It is frustrating trying to keep up.

Is crk getting boring? (Rant) | Fandom
Is crk getting boring? (Rant) I’ve been playing since the town square update and I’ve noticed something..I think the devs are caring less about the lore and more about the cookies. It’s like “hey look new cookie😱🤯😨💥 gimme all ur money “ look I love most of the cookies designs but I wanna know more about their story than just wasting my gems for nothing.

Cookie Run Kingdom News, Trailer, Guides, and More
Cookie Run: Kingdom is surprisingly addictive for a mobile game. It’s cute, colorful, and the RPG elements are surprisingly deep. I love the mix of base-building and turn-based combat. However, the gacha mechanics can be frustrating—waiting for the right cookies can be a grind.

r/CookieRunKingdoms on Reddit: RANT: This game is already 3 years old. You can't expect it to cater to newbies every single time
April 28, 2022 -

I love the Skirmish Raid battle. You need specific cookies to be able to do it. It is perfect for mid-long time players. But newbies who didn't have those specific cookies didn't like it.

Today I saw a post about one of the Faerie King mission about having trade boats returning to harbor 30 times. This game is 3 years old. I don't think it is too much to assume that the majority of the playerbase are long term players who already have 2 trade boats.

Lately, so many people are complaining about how the game is not fair for newbies. I promise you, most if not all gacha games are like this. You can't expect the game to cater to newbies for every single event. I don't know. Maybe I am the only one that feels this way.

April 3, 2021 - Couldn't have agreed more, you have stated basically every strife people have with the game in a single well done comment. Also yeah Cookie Alliance and toppings are a pain in the arse. Half my cookies are about level 40 with the other half being the only cookies I use and build so Cookie alliance always ends badly at least for me, and I could go on a full rant about toppings but to keep it short since I'm trying to build a attack with crit set for Rye cause of her magic candy I've been considering giving in to topping packages cause one more amplify buff substat and I will throw my phone out the window and let it get eaten by the racoon in my porch.

r/Cookierun on Reddit: CRK: enough is enough
July 3, 2023 -

I’ll put it straight and flat, I’m don’t with Cookie Run Kingdom. It’s become horribly Pay To Win, and even though I’m meeting striking success as a F2P, I don’t know how much longer I actually want to hang on. The game has become legitimately stale, and more importantly, Devsisters have been taking us for granted with each month one after the other. Ever since December of 2022 began, we have had a Super Epic Banner or higher EVERY UPDATE. (Sherbet, Moonlight, Stardust, Capsaicin, Pitaya, and now Shining Glitter, all in this exact order). Banners have become far less bearable, and complaints of the Mileage Pity system have been at a complete mass. Actually, ever since Stardust, I had the hunch and the theory that Devsisters have been so generous before as to butter up a huge fanbase so as to manipulate them via their trust. Codes have reached a halt, and usually gifts are subpar nowadays.

As soon as I saw the fact that SG is Super Epic, I just lost hope. I don’t even care for her as a character, but we’ve literally spent HALF A FUCKING YEAR with limited banners and nothing but. Don’t forget the complaints about Snapdragon Cookie, but that’s minor compared to everything else.

I personally am not letting myself be taken for granted anymore. It’s anyone else’s choice for themselves to decide to do the same or not. I’m still playing Ovenbreak, for a variety of reasons, especially since it’s currently in a good looking state despite being older than Kingdom, which leads me to believe it’ll have a different fate, but I’m giving up on kingdom.

Not surprised if I see people saying “you won’t be missed” in the comments or some other useless comment on that same note. That’s all, thanks for reading.

Crk is doomed as a game. : r/CookieRunKingdoms
October 18, 2023 - One of the reasons I got tired is how less "interactive" the gameplay got. The game got so focused on quests that there's so little space for gameplay. I mean, Gacha games are bound to become a chore at some point in their lifetime but CRK is lowkey on a whole different level.

THERE IS NO SHOT THAT SO MANY WANT THEIR TEAMS BUILT SO MANY ARE ASKING FOR THE MOST BASIC INFORMATION, THAT SO MANY ARE ASKING QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED BEFORE. I AM SICK OF SEEING THESE POST. THERE IS NO WAY NONE OF YOU LOOK AT THE MEGATHREAD. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU CAN GOOGLE SHIT, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU KNOWS WHAT YOUTUBE IS. NOT EVEN A SINGLE BRAINCELL EXISTS AMO G YOU THAT REMEMBERS THE REDDIT SEARCH FUNCTION.

"Oh it's just a few posts, it's not that bad, just ignore them" THATS IS A BAD FUCKING MINDSET. THE MODS ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO FILTER OUT THE UNSEEN HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT WHATEVER SHIT AND YET THERE ARE POSTS THAT MANAGE TO SLIP THROUGH. I SIMPLY CANNOT DO THIS. HOW CAN SOME OF YOU MAKE A POST BUT BE SO ILLITERATE TO NOT READ THE RULES, THE MEGATHREAD NOR ANY OTHER SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

maybe it's the megathread that needs some kind of overhaul maybe people need bright flashing lights to be attracted to posts that answer their question. I have no clue whats so hard about reading. I don't expect changes over night but this can't go on.

Maybe you guys see it differently and i am the one with the unpopular opinion but i simply had to get this off my chest. Enough is enough. Maybe you guys have something to rant about too.

(Despite my own opinion, please don't harrass the people in the pictures)

r/Cookierun on Reddit: Should I start playing CRK?
April 6, 2025 - It’s literally a gacha game, it wants you to spend your money on it. ... And guess what? You have free will. CRK is probably one of the most f2p friendly gacha games out there. The people who spend money on it are probably arena focused. If you don’t have self control on the gacha then that’s your fault.

Looking at my progress for the past 25 days.

Everything is starting to become like a chore, The only thing i enjoy now is seeing my little unfinished layout. The only reason i played nightmare mode is to get the castle design.

I have nothing to do with my favorite cookies because most of them are not very useful

I guess the past few days I've spent playing this game has been... bittersweet

revisiting cookies is underrated and is something i'd like to see more of, for purposes of story/interaction and reinvigorating cookies for competitive/etc metas, mitigating the sore point of every new cookie being hot stuff when people are barely able to get them.

Bro I love Wizard!!! I also love Custard 3rd!!

My hot take is that the hypocrisy among the fans are laughable.

Case 1:

Person A say they ship Cocoa and ChocoMint. Reason is because they share a story and clearly have a relationship. Person B says they are just friends and will remain as friends unless canonically confirmed. But then Person B insists that WB and CC are gay and a couple because they are "a popular ship" and people who disagree are suddenly called homophobic. Same goes to Raspberry and Princess. We don't know Raspberry's sexuality. The closest we got was her "proposing" to Princess IN KNIGHT'S D R E A M! The absolute best conclusion from that is Raspberry might have feelings for female cookies, thats it. We don't know her actual sexuality. But the fans claimed that from that, Raspberry is a lesbian queen and anyone who disagree is homophobic. Suddenly canonicity doesn't matter. Suddenly, confirmation is not needed.

Case 2:

Cookie "skin" colour. I have seen people make a WHITE ESPRESSO and the community goes wild for "white washing". But when a person make Moonlight BLACK, suddenly the "skin" colour is just dough and people are open to their interpretations. I am not white and I am not black. Having cookies like Moonlight that is neither is awesome to me. The community's consensus on whether cookies' "skin" colour mattered or not has absolutely no basis and most of them are hypocrites
