CookieRun: OvenSmash Review: Three-Minute 3v3 Brawls With a Costume Gacha

Tanker, Dealer, Supporter — a MOBA Without the Homework

The comparison the most useful review makes is the right one: an April 21, 2026 Play five-star with 46 votes calls it MOBA-like gameplay that removes the homework and drawn-out match length MOBAs are weighed down by. Matches are 3v3 and about three minutes, Cookies fall into Tanker, Dealer and Supporter roles with skills and synergies, and spell cards — a giant transformation, a sky-slicing dragon — are the swing plays; modes rotate, from Castle Crasher with a turtle objective to the September Smash Fight: Boost Up. The setting is Platter City, an urban-fantasy corner of the CookieRun world where three factions fight, with a story the April reviewer says has not started in earnest. Devsisters — whose franchise claims 200 million fans — launched it on March 26, 2026 in five languages, rated Everyone and 13+; the September 17–18 update added Goat Cheese Cookie and a Nightmare in Dream City costume set.

April's Connection Error, Three Tanks, and a Button Too Close

The most-voted Play review, April 13 with 56 votes, could not get past the title screen for a connection error that survived Wi-Fi, mobile data, reinstalls and restarts, and calls the balance iffy and the interface crowded; App Store reviews from March 25 to April 10 report failed match loads and controls switching to PC inputs. The April 21 review says the connectivity problems are basically cleared up and suggests lower graphics as a fallback. What remains is design: an April 8 four-star argues three tanks on one team is a guaranteed loss for the other,; an April 28 Camembert Cookie player has an ultimate that targets the turtle instead of a nearby enemy; an August 26 Play four-star with 21 votes finds the emoji button too close to attack, only one bomber-class Cookie, and the in-battle zoom removed. Ratings: 4.7 from 13,413 on the App Store, 4.1 from 15,400 on Play.

A Costume Gacha With Duplicates, Passes at $6.99 and $9.99, Loot Boxes Flagged

The August 26 review is the economy in one paragraph: a very fun gacha fighting game with awesome music and sets, where credits for the costume gacha are far too hard to earn and even spending a lot returns mostly duplicates before a single costume. The stores confirm the structure — Apple flags Loot Boxes, Advertising and In-App Purchases; Google Play prices items from $0.99 to $99.99 — and the App Store's ladder is a Battle Pass at $9.99, a Goat Cheese Cookie Pass at $6.99, Rainbow Credit packs and passes at $3.99, $9.99 and $21.99, a Daily Cookie Summon Pack at $2.99 and 150 Crystals at $0.99. Google's data-safety card lists Personal info, App activity and two other types collected. The install is 2.1 GB on iPhone, iOS 15 or newer with Apple Silicon Macs; Google Play lists no Android floor. Prices are regional.
