## Gameplay

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.
In the Kingdom, players place production buildings to produce goods and materials, which are mainly used for upgrading buildings and game aspects, or can be traded through various facilities for rewards. Players are free to decorate their kingdoms with a huge catalog of decorative items, which can be acquired with the game's currency or with real money. New facilities and land expansion are unlocked by upgrading the Cookie Castle.
The game modes include PvP and Guild systems, various PvE challenges, seasonal and event game modes that add strategy and variety to the team-building mechanics, and Special Episodes that feature side stories, with some that tie into major side characters. The main story mode, World Exploration, includes two worlds, Crispia and Beast-Yeast, both giving different rewards.
The game features over 149 Cookies obtained in the gacha, with high-tier rarities (Legendary, Dragon, Ancient, Beast) serving to denote their place in the world. In addition, non-playable Guest Cookies and MyCookie can be placed in the Kingdom.

## Plot

Set in a world populated with anthropomorphized Cookies and desserts (created by Witches using dough and Life Powder), the five Ancient Cookie heroes—White Lily Cookie, Dark Cacao Cookie, Pure Vanilla Cookie, Hollyberry Cookie, and Golden Cheese Cookie—created their own kingdoms (except White Lily Cookie) and were given Soul Jams, which granted them immense powers and immortality. These Soul Jams each held a virtue: freedom, resolution, truth, passion, and abundance, respectively.
White Lily Cookie had been trying to find out the reason why Cookies exist for ages—and after searching for a lead, 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" in shock and was re-baked as Dark Enchantress Cookie, who planned to use Cake Monsters to create a new world order. The Ancient Heroes fought against Dark Enchantress Cookie, but they lost and got stripped of their Soul Jams. In a desperate attempt, Pure Vanilla Cookie seals her away, shattering the Soul Jams in the process. The Ancient Cookies later go into hiding, leaving their kingdoms in disarray.
A long time after the "Dark Flour War," GingerBrave is seen escaping from the witch. He was later found by Wizard Cookie and Strawberry Cookie in the ruins of a former kingdom. Sugar Gnomes, being the remaining residents of this long-forgotten kingdom, ask them to help rebuild it. The trio later meet Chili Pepper Cookie and Custard Cookie III and set on a long chase after the Cake Hound, who fled with the kingdom's crown.
As the group journeys across the various regions of Earthbread, the crown quickly becomes irrelevant as they proceed to find the Ancient Cookies instead, to seek their help in defeating Dark Enchantress Cookie, who broke out from her seal. In addition, other characters seek out the elemental guardians and the legendary dragons for their aid in the future war.
With all but one of the Ancient Heroes yet to be found, Pure Vanilla Cookie heads to Beast-Yeast alongside GingerBrave, Strawberry Cookie, and Wizard Cookie to explore the continent of Beast-Yeast. The group discovers the Faerie Kingdom, where they find White Lily Cookie in a dormant state, who seemingly escaped from the re-baking. They also discover that the Soul Jams were once previously held by five primordial heroes before the Ancient Heroes, known as the Five Beasts, who became corrupted by its power and were sealed away by the Witches, deep within Beast-Yeast. The Soul Jams were then passed on to the Ancient Heroes, filtered from corruption.
However, one of the Beast Cookies' spirits, Shadow Milk Cookie, manages to break free from the seal, bringing chaos to the world. After dealing with turmoil and loss, White Lily Cookie manages to seal him back, but the premonition of Beast Cookie returning worries the Ancient Heroes of the future wars between the Beasts and Cookies. Each of the Ancient Heroes went on to face their Beast counterparts simultaneously, who wanted to retrieve the Soul Jams they once possessed with the corrupted power they still hold, in order to destroy nations. Such times of intense strife are inciting catharsis in the Heroes and causing them to awaken, in which their Soul Jams recognize their true virtues and return to their original, unfathomable power, which gives them the strength to overcome their problems.
