CookieRun: Tower of Adventures

I love this game and I think it’s one of the most unique and fun games in this series but I have two big issues. 1. The lack of an English Voice Over It really kills the interaction and connection that people can have to characters and I feel like the game would be 1000 times better with it. I skip over most of the story since it’s just grunts and it makes it really boring to play through. 2. The optimization of the game. I click three buttons and it crashes/kicks me from the game. I am going to a raid battle started and in the first 10 seconds it kicks me out. And this is not just for raid battle. I’ve seen that anywhere from clicking a button 3 to 6 times kicks me out the game. And it’s not an issue on my part. I have a app that clears my ram. I update my device regularly and it isn’t even 3 years old. It literally makes the game unplayable because I can’t fight anything which literally makes it impossible to progress. I have to fight a battle 10 times just to clear it and it’s not because my team isn’t strong. It’s because the second I click on a skill or any kind of attack the game crashes.. and when I check notifications, the second I go back into the game they’re all there again. It’s super annoying and it’s probably one of the reasons the game keeps crashing.

I write this review with a solemn mind. I have been playing this game since day one, pre-registered and got my free chamomile cookie. I have been free to play since day one. And it *used* to be wonderful! It *used* to be a game that anybody could pick up and play, and the character you played as only mattered in element. Such is not the case any more. This game has become so much harder to play as a f2p player, and even then so much harder to play in general as the developers do next to nothing to optimize the game that I want to play. Because I truly do want to play this game. I do. But every thing, every little thing this game does wrong, adds up to way too much that they're doing wrong. If you're actually reading this review, as either someone looking to play this game, or as a developer; I strongly urge you to take a good look at this cash grab of a game in the face, and ask you to STOP PLAYING IT until it is fixed, and we no longer have to deal with a legendary gacha that ruined people saving up for it, and that f2p players cannot even hit the pity in. STOP PLAYING until we no longer have Strawberry Mochi problems where one character is objectively better than any other in so many different scenarios even after nerfing them. STOP PLAYING until it at least makes sense to even spend a penny on this game, because even when you pay to win, you're only paying for the developers to win.

This game is kid friendly and safe but there are a few things you should know if your kid/kids want this game 1. Game can crash often. This is the least problematic bug in the game and can be fixed by changing your graphics. 2. Non active players/guilds. The second problem I have found is some guilds are inactive. A simple fix is to just leave a guild. You do that by going to the guild lobby and clicking on the progress bar to the next level. Click on it and on the bottom left corner there will be a button that says “leave guild” simply press that and you will be able to join another guild. 3. Rude/inappropriate members in guilds. Rarely there will be people putting aberrations of curse words. First option is to leave the guild, how to do that is explained above. Second option is to report them to the guild leader to get removed, that can be simply be done by chatting in the guild. Overall though this game is kid friendly so if your kid/kids want it just remember these things and check often for any people cursing.
