Cookie Run: OvenSmash is a new game in the Cookie Run franchise, originally meant for Steam on PC but delayed significantly until it was eventually set to release for Android and IOS.
It is rare to see in this day and age that a game made for Android or IOS would have some love behind it. Following the success story of Cookie Run: Kingdom has been a great adventure with their latest edition to the party, OvenSmash.
I’ve had high hopes i’m glad to say that despite the glitchy abomination that was this beta test I still came out having a lot of fun ofcourse it is still in beta and a lot of these issues are to be handles so I will not list the exact glitches although I am compelled to mention the oversized projectiles, SO let’s go through this and get a breakdown of what Ovensmash has to offer.
Tour of Platter City
There are two teams, usually consisting of 3 people each on opposing sides of the map. To win, you must accomplish the goal asked of you in the gamemode you chose. You may eliminate your opponents using your skills.
First, there is a basic attack. A dash/dodge which can also hurt the foe depending on the character, and there is a special for each character. Some of them can even charge up their normal attacks for stronger hits but only a few.
There are a few game modes which were available to us in the closed beta:
Cookie Castle Crasher:
In this gamemode, there are two teams, 3v3 against each other. There is a giant turtle in the middle of the stage with a cannon on top. The goal is to guide the turtle to your opponent’s base and destroy their castle first. The turtle can still shoot shells from its cannon in whichever direction it is moving, so long as it is close to either of the castles, lowering the health bar. If you reach the opponent’s goal, or either of your health bar ends, the game ends.
Cookie Battle Royale:
Battle Royale is personally my favourite game mode. In it, there is no team. A large group of 10 players are dropped on the huge map. On the map, in various locations, are these boxes. You must attack them a few times to break them and acquire special cards. These cards have buffs and power-ups on them, like SPD Up and ATK Up, etc. Special cards appear in other modes but are prominent here. The goal is to be the last one standing to win.
Cookie Smash Arena:
Smash Arena, you are on a map almost exactly like the Castle crasher one, but there are no extra checkpoints, and it is a smaller map with one of those special card crates, a bigger one, in the middle. It is another 3v3, and the goal is for your team to get 10 kills before your enemy does to win. The special cards can help make you stronger for it.
Cookie Gold Rush:
This is similar to Smash Arena, but every time you kill someone, they drop gold like Sonic. If your team gains more than 10 gold, it starts a countdown, and if you stay alive, don’t lose your gold within the countdown, you win.
Cookie Character System:
There are 7 classes in total. Tank, Controller, Assault, Assassin, Sniper, Support, and Bomber. There are 16 playable characters as of now.
Every character has a unique play style and set of skills. I personally really enjoyed using Blue Slushy Cookie and Cherry Cookie as I prefer to deal damage from afar using their long ranged skills.
OvenSmash-in it!!!
It was a glitchy, laggy mess, but it was worth my time. I enjoyed watching my favourite cookies run around across the field.
The horror I felt knowing my team had no tanks, obliterating everyone in battle royale and much more, was beyond fun. Even in the lobby, it felt nice to make new friends by pretending to fight.
Thank you, Devsisters, for the opportunity for the closed beta test.
And thanks to @Default_Mistake for the insight, opinions, information, and data on the game.
