Cookie Run: Kingdom is an RPG (known as Roleplay Game or Games) and gacha game where you have a team of cookies to fight different monsters, villainous cookies, and other bosses. You can also build your kingdom, pull different cookies, and buy certain things like soulstones. The soulstones make the cookies alive and function like living humans, fight other users in battle arenas, do side quests to gain coins, gems, experience, level up your cookies, and so on. The game is made by the company Devsisters, they also made the game Cookie Run: Ovenbreak.

Devsisters is a South Korean gaming company that focuses on bringing games to mobile and for entertainment. Before getting into the lore of the game itself, the main characters consist of GingerBrave, Strawberry Cookie, Chilli Pepper Cookie, Wizard Cookie, and also Custard Cookie III. The five cookies are the protagonists of the game. Each character has different personalities, and has their own unique designs, making them stand out. GingerBrave and all the other cookies in the game are made with “special ingredients” and a “secret ingredient” that bring them to life.it all makes sense once you play the game or look through the character’s background.

The story of Cookie Run: Kingdom is as said above, world exploration and defeating evil, along with making amends with those who are cold-hearted, stoic, or just straight-up evil for various reasons. GingerBrave and his friends want to explore the world, called Earthbread. At first, they want to reach the Vanilla Kingdom, but things get in the way of their destination. That is when their intentions change and decide to explore more than just the Vanilla Kingdom. The reason why they wanted to explore the Vanilla Kingdom is the stories behind said kingdom. Along with that, they each have their own little goals. For example, GingerBrave wants to find the truth behind all cookies and how the world came to be (also regaining certain memories), Chilli Pepper wants a lot of money, Custard Cookie wants a group of people to rule over, Strawberry Cookie wants peace and friends, and Wizard Cookie wants to become a legendary, or at least, a well-known wizard.

It might be a little cliche with the story and where everything is going so far since other RPG games might also follow the same kind of storyline, but rest assured that there is some uniqueness to it, from the cookie’s intention or intentions, meeting new characters, people creating characters that fit into the world, team building along with teamwork, and challenges.
