Gameplay[edit]
Cookie Run: Kingdom is a free to play role-playing & city-building battle simulator. The game is mainly played by building the player's Cookie Kingdom and collecting Cookies using the game's gacha to fight in various game modes.
Gamemodes include PVP and Guild systems, Gauntlet Challenges in the form of the Tower of Sweet Chaos and Cookie Alliance, The Tropical Soda Islands, which provides more resources for each island completed, seasonal gamemodes that add strategy to the team-building mechanics, and Special Episodes that feature stories that tie into major side characters. The main story mode, World Exploration, includes 2 extra difficulties, Dark and Master, that provide rewards for lategame upgrades.
Story[edit]
In a world populated with anthropomorphized dessert items (created by witches using cookie batter and Life Powder), the Five Ancient Cookies - Pure Vanilla, White Lily, Hollyberry, Dark Cacao, and Golden Cheese - created their own kingdoms and were given Soul Jams, which granted them special powers and immortality. One day, White Lily Cookie wanted to know about the origin and creation of cookies, so she tried to contact the witches to seek an answer. Upon learning the horrible truth that cookies were meant to be eaten, she fell into the ultimate dough and was re-baked as Dark Enchantress Cookie, who planned to use Cake Monsters to create a new world order. Pure Vanilla was forced to seal Dark Enchantress Cookie away and have the Ancient Cookies fall into hiding, leaving their kingdoms in disarray.
A long time after Dark Enchantress Cookie was sealed away, GingerBrave was baked by a witch and escaped. He later learned that his friends Wizard Cookie and Strawberry Cookie, who had escaped from the witch too. They were found by the Sugar Gnomes and they started to rebuild a long-forgotten kingdom and explore Earthbread, the Cookie world.
Gingerbrave, with the help of his friends Wizard, Strawberry, Chili Pepper, Custard III, and others, must travel to the various cookie kingdoms to find the Ancient Cookies to convince them to help defeat Dark Enchantress. In addition, other characters seek out the Elemental Guardians (Sea Fairy, Frost Queen, Fire Spirit, Wind Archer, Millenial Tree, and Moonlight, the latter of which was convinced to fight) and the Legendary Dragons, of which Pitaya Dragon Cookie was recruited by their rival Hollyberry.
Pure Vanilla, Gingerbrave, Strawberry, and Wizard Cookie all travel to the continent of Beast-Yeast to find the last of the five ancients, White Lily Cookie, as she goes there to uncover more about the origin of Cookies. There, they discover that the Soul Jams were held by 5 primordial heroes before the current Ancients known as the Beasts (Shadow Milk, Eternal Sugar, Mystic Flour, Burning Spice, and Silent Salt), who became corrupted by its power and had to be sealed away by the Witches.
