Cookie Cutter: Overkill Edition

About

Cookie Cutter: Overkill Edition is a side-scrolling action RPG where you play as Cherry, a relentless robot with a taste for chaos. The game blends fast platforming with fluid combat, letting you slash, shoot, and smash through hordes of enemies while figuring out a story of vengeance. Its levels are packed with hidden paths and power-ups, encouraging revisits as new abilities unlock. The art style leans into vibrant, chaotic aesthetics, mixing detailed hand-drawn animation with neon-soaked visuals that pop during violent set pieces. The Switch version adds refined mechanics and expanded story beats based on player feedback. Subcult Joint’s previous award wins at PAX West and NYX hint at its polished execution, and community excitement for the port suggests it’s a must-play for fans of genre-mixing indie games. With its tight controls and colorful brutality, it carves a niche between exploration and carnage without leaning on tired tropes.
