Crash out over master mode
TLDR: Master mode was nerfed and it’s not fun to play through anymore.
I don’t find this game to be entertaining anymore as an endgame player due to a lack of content. When master mode first released, it added some actual difficulty to the story mode. So when the update was announced and the rest of master mode was said to be released, I was beyond excited. I’ve been desiring for more content that isn’t just a cakewalk. But tonight when the update was released I quickly started onto master mode only to realize that it’s been NERFED into the ground. Every challenging aspect of this mode has disappeared such as the enemies strength, the level cap, the restrictions, and that one cake hound that just one shots your cookies. As I showed in the video you can clearly see that wind archer swept through a whole stage by himself. In the unnerfed version of master mode, no cookie would be able to accomplish this. (well with the modern power creep maybe) I strongly dislike the idea of master mode just becoming a “dark mode 2”. I do agree that master mode needed to be nerfed but this is a little too far, I think just removing either the restrictions or the enemies power would’ve been enough. But at least this does allow for an easy grind for me to get more gems and soul essence. A level shouldn’t feel like I’m watching a video I want to be able to come up with unique strategies and teambuilds such as my stun comp with sea fairy, not just letting the meta cookies sweep through the stage with no changes required.
