A player of Cookie Run: Kingdom recently stumbled upon some unusual “cursed” merchandise while shopping. Released in 2021, Devsisters’ Cookie Run: Kingdom is the sixth installment in a beloved series of mobile gacha games. The game quickly captured the hearts of both long-time fans and newcomers, thanks to its engaging gameplay, an intriguing world filled with anthropomorphic Cookies to collect, and various RPG elements. In Cookie Run: Kingdom, each Cookie has a distinct appearance and unique abilities.
With over 150 Cookies available for players to gather, the game features a variety of rarities, with higher rarity characters generally being more powerful. Players can obtain these Cookies through several methods, such as pulling from the gacha store, joining special gacha events, or collecting their Soulstones during gameplay. One notable character is Hollyberry, recognized as one of the best damage absorbers in the game. To maximize her effectiveness, players can use specific builds.
Devsisters has capitalized on the game’s popularity by releasing official merchandise, such as the Shadow Milk Cookie plushies that became available in February. It was during a recent shopping excursion that a player found some Cookie Run: Kingdom-themed mugs featuring the main character, GingerBrave. The mugs displayed his large round blue eyes, icing eyebrows, and cheerful red smile, prompting the player to share a picture on Reddit, labeling it as a “cursed thing.”
GingerBrave serves as the starting Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom and has appeared in all series games. Although he is a Common rarity and often replaced by more powerful Cookies in players’ rosters, he remains the franchise’s iconic mascot.
Beyond collecting Cookies, the game offers base-building and farming mechanics. Players can expand their kingdom from a simple castle to construct various facilities, contributing significantly to its enduring popularity.
