You need to be prepared before going into Cookie Cutter. For whilst this may be a bit of a metroidvania-styled affair, it’s about as intense and destructive as you could ever imagine.Â
Available right now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam or Epic, you decide) is Cookie Cutter. It comes from the developers at Subcult Joint LTD as they provide the baying world with a game that is as mad as you can get.
A mad metroidvania
We’re going to copy and paste the blurb here, as we feel that it sums up Cookie Cutter brilliantly, for it plays as a ‘monster-mutilating, creature-slaughtering, Dickhead-destroying post-punk brawler’. Is there anything more you could ever want? How about inspiration from Japanese manga, Tarantino and Lovecraft? Well, you can have that too.Â
It places you in the role of Cherry, an android who is absolutely hellbent on saving her creator, Doctor Shinji Fallon, from that of a evil mega-corp. Standard rescue mission stuff, no? Well, yes, but it’s how Cookie Cutter plays in which things take a turn.
It comes to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC with gory hand-drawn visuals. But there is also action that will see you in need of a therapist, all the curse words ever and enough twists to melt your mind. Is it the perfect Christmas game? Well, we’d guess you won’t want to play this one in the living room with family around you on Boxing Day. Or maybe you will…
Should you be tempted by Cookie Cutter though, then expect to find a game that is spread across some ten zones. In here will be a ton of foes, bosses and more. This really is a game that is going places.

Stay tuned for our review. But until then, hit the trailer. It’s a bit nuts, no?
Cookie Cutter on Xbox Game Description
The Void. The Matter. The Megastructure. A dystopian world with an egomaniac leader determined to unveil the secrets of the universe. INFONET promised a utopia built on the backs of tireless androids called Denzels. It was a lie.
200 years later the planet is decaying and the mysterious Red Seed has been stolen. Raz, a renegade mechanic, searches a hidden lab and discovers the Denzel Cherry, butchered and left for dead, clinging to life by sheer will alone. Her creator—and the love of her life, Doctor Shinji Fallon—has been taken by a demented sicko and Cherry intends to make him—and anybody or anything who gets in her way—pay.
Fueled by love and powered by rage, join Cherry on a blood-soaked quest for revenge as she explores the massive Megastructure and eviscerates the armies of INFONET in an unforgettable over-the-top 2D platformer that breaks tropes and bones.
