What are the best RPGs for Cookie Run Kingdom Fans?
Genshin Impact played a massive role in popularizing Cookie Run Kingdom - a large section of the Genshin fanbase jumped over to explore CRK. The same is occurring with CRK fans jumping ship to similar games.
The following are the games that have become fan favorites in the Cookie Run Kingdom fraternity.
5) Cookie Run: Ovenbreak
The breakthrough popularity of Cookie Run Kingdom has caused a strange effect - the parent game, Ovenbreak, has seen an explosion of new players.
Released in 2016, the game is a prequel to Cookie Run Kingdom. It is an endless runner game, where Cookies have to escape the Witches Oven, similar to GingerBrave's escape at the start of Cookie Run Kingdom.
The presence of the same characters, abilities and treasures in a different package can be refreshing, according to many fellow Cookie Run Kingdom enthusiasts.

4) Princess Connect! Re: Dive
In this anime RPG game, the player takes on the role of Yuki, a warrior from the 'Twinkle Wish' guild. The game starts with Yuki waking in an unknown land with no recollection of the legendary battle at the peak of the Tower of Sol. As Yuki, the player must recover their memories and decipher various clues.
Players command a squad of formidable warriors who engage in challenging battles. They are also in control of a guild house where this warrior squad relaxes and kicks back. Players can decorate and personalize it, similar to Cookie Run Kingdom.
The long line of unique characters, the time-based PvE aspect and the engaging storyline are sure to strike a chord with Cookie Run Kingdom fans.

3) Adventure Capitalist
This is a game for users who were not completely satisfied with the strategy aspect of Cookie Run Kingdom. The developers of Adventure Capitalist are pioneers of the genre, and they have implemented a well-thought-out concept to perfection.
At the start of the game players are in charge of a lemonade stand. After generating enough revenue, they can then continue on further and invest in other stands. Angel investors, passive income, competitive trading, and a lot more are added to the game as players progress on their journey to becoming the ultimate capitalist.
There is a stark difference between the design and layout of the game, but a shared pattern of carefully investing resources is sure to provide a breath of fresh air to Cookie Run Kingdom fans.

2) Arknights
Interestingly, this game was released exactly one year before Cookie Run Kingdom. Arknights is a tower defense and city building game where players take on the role of Doctor, a mysterious being in charge of a group called the Operators. Operators are a large medical organization looking for a cure for a deadly disease spread across Terra, the planet the game is based on.
The base can be customized, like Cookie Run Kingdom, and the Operators all have unique abilities which complement each other, similar to Cookies in CRK. A key difference is the tower defense mode of gameplay in the PvE aspect, but it is enjoyable as it adds an extra layer of strategy to the game.

This game was also developed by the folks behind "Princess Connect! Re: Dive". Players step into the shoes of Prince Euden, the heir to the kingdom of Alberia.
The game's main storyline revolves around Prince Euden trying to protect the kingdom after the protective Holy Shard mysteriously goes out of function. Both dragons and humans are equal citizens and live in harmony.
While Cookie Run Kingdom relies on its cute characters and hilarious premise, Dragalia Lost engages the player in an intense adventure with Prince Euden. Players can access the building and PvP aspects of the game after completing the main storyline.
