Subcult Joint’s frantic 2D Metroidvania, Cookie Cutter, is finally coming to Nintendo Switch.
As well as the base game, in which players “punch, stab, slice, and maul enemies as Cherry, a take-no-prisoners fembot trying to survive a twisted planet on the brink of destruction”, the Switch Overkill Edition boasts three updates and upgrades, including fully voiced dialogue for every character, new map features, and brand-new special moves and upgrades for Cherry.
Other new features include new cinematics to “add more style and background to the story”, “tons” of gameplay tweaks and progression balancing, and a handful of special Nintendo Switch-flavoured easter eggs, too.
There’s also now a new feature that helps you “gauge completion status”.
“Love turns to rage and chainsaws in Cookie Cutter, a bold new take on the Metroidvania sub-genre,” teases the blurb. “Cookie Cutter features gorgeous hand-drawn animation, an enormous dystopian world to explore, epic boss fights, gruesome carnage, and so much more.”
As yet there’s no firm release date, but publisher Rogue Games hints it’ll be “this spring”/Q2. Players on PC via Steam, PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series X/S don’t have to wait, of course – Cherry’s already waiting for you.
