it's so bad. the mechanics of this game are a total mess. after the initial stages resources start running dry so you find yourself hitting a wall where you need to clear stages to get resources and resources to being able to clear stages. PAID decors that are supposed to help you have a small limit of uses before becoming useless. there are also countless bugs that have forced players to switch devices just to play candy crush. the worst thing between all of this is the gacha system, especially when it comes to cookies, since drawing multiple times till you fill a category doesn't guarantee anything at all and you might end up with a single souldrop (out of 20). of course this is expected from a gacha game, but not even cookie run kingdom relies exclusively on being a cash grab.
there are a few things carrying witch's castle such as art style and animation, besides this go with low expectations or don't even bother lmao
