its a satisfying concept, but like genshin and every other 'free' mobile game its filled with microtransactions to get kids into gambling- then players go on and on bragging about how much money theyve flushed away on it!!!! ive had players proudly tell me they must have a gambling addiction by now, and they dont see why im really disturbed by that?!?!?
i started playing cookie run ovenbreak at launch, and ive played both as a free to play player and then i ended up spending on it.. i had to quit because it was awful for me
even despite the gambling and wildly expensive features, it's got so much crammed into it that it just rots your brain.. and people addicted to it dont know how to talk about it other than as a sales pitch, its honestly sad to see
this is a gacha game model, a lot of mobile games use it and it's designed in every little way to get as much money from you as possible. (honestly if you start looking you'll be able to really easily tell what a sellout almost every single mobile game company is but i digress XP) they have to keep consistently coming out with updates and daily tasks to keep players coming back, and by extension, spending more money, so they tend to get to a point where it's overwhelming and just not a fun game to play and it becomes more of a chore. many, many gacha games are guilty of this. the content can be good in concept but the adaptation of the gacha game model ruins a game.
