Cookie Run: Kingdom is a beloved game by many, yet it suffers from some errors that annoy the community.
Nowadays, the gacha game genre is becoming more popular. Not only famous for role-playing games, but simulation and strategy games are also gaining more fans. Cookie Run: Kingdom is such an interesting product.
Cookie Run: Kingdom is a simulation role-playing game by Devsisters. In this game, players take on the role of special cookie characters. Besides, to add excitement and interest to the game, the publisher has added antagonistic characters. Your task is to fight against the villains lurking in the darkness to restore and regain the kingdom's lost resources.
With a design reminiscent of cartoons, the game possesses many cute features in fairytale-like settings and is well received by many gamers. Therefore, it's no surprise that in just 2021 alone, Cookie Run: Kingdom raked in a record-breaking $250 million (equivalent to 5900 billion VND). This game is also the main ace for Devsisters, helping this game studio not only survive but thrive during the pandemic.
Considered as the 'core,' Cookie Run: Kingdom is also heavily updated and continuously upgraded by the game studio, introducing new features. However, not every move is accurate, as in the update announced in early July, Devsisters faced fierce backlash from gamers. Cookie Run: Kingdom has altered the random character upgrade mechanism, making it more irritating than ever.
Specifically, every time you summon a new character in Cookie Run: Kingdom, the game will give you either a character or a Soulstone. These stones are considered consolation prizes for the unlucky ones. When you have enough stones, you can summon your favorite character or upgrade a character to a new level. Currently, the highest level of a character is 5 stars, and to reach this limit, players will spend quite a bit of money.
In the latest update, players will be able to continue upgrading characters to 6 stars. This is quite exciting and something that gamers really appreciate, but it doesn't mean they agree to spend more money. In addition, upgrading equipment in the game has also been changed by Devsisters. Now, upgrading equipment is also... random. Players upgrading their items also have the possibility of failure.
As soon as the information was announced, Cookie Run: Kingdom gamers immediately voiced concerns about the game's blood-sucking nature. Many even voiced objections and demanded that the game developers adjust it, or they would quit playing.
After receiving feedback, the team behind Cookie Run: Kingdom acted swiftly. They announced that they would listen to players and adjust the game accordingly. They even refunded those who had mistakenly upgraded items during this time, which was accepted by gamers. It can be said that what could have been a scandal for Cookie Run: Kingdom ended on a good note thanks to the cleverness of the Devsisters game development team.
