Cookie Cutter is far from perfect but it's a slick and interesting example of a genre that is often presented in a lazy, retro style. There are issues but the game's strengths just about outweigh the negatives.
There have been some great improvements that will elevate the game and I’m confident that when more voice their thoughts the devs will listen and make it better. Give Cookie Cutter a try! You won’t regret it.
Cookie Cutter delivers everything and more than it intended with its proposal. With a good story, dynamic combat and rich visual details, the game wins you over from the beginning and makes you want to play "just a little bit more" for hours. Negative points exist, but they are not so relevant to the final result and they can all be easily corrected with updates. Especially for those who enjoy the metroidvania style, this is a must-have title.

Cookie Cutter is a well down Metroidvania that keeps you pushing forward. Bosses can be tough but keep you coming back because they are not cheap. Level design is well done and abilities although standard fair for a Metroidvania are perfect for ability locks and keeps the gameflow good with rewarding backtracking. I would call it a AA+ game and such a small Studio making it is amazing. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Awesome animations, perfect soundtrack and great action gameplay. Fighting gives a pure hack'n'slash feel but in a metroidvania genre. The unique concept art and a perfect level design complete the overall picture. A must have not only for all lovers of metroidvania genre, but also for who loves action and fighting.

Great game, always fun with an addictive combat system. The exploration and the map are very well made. It's hard to believe that it is a work from a very small indie team.

Despite some minor missteps, Cookie Cutter is easily one of the best Metroidvania games of this year, and an absolute must-play.

Cookie Cutter is a bloody blast! Its punk rock attitude seeps through to help the game stand out amongst the crowd. Platforming and combat are tight which makes the moment-to-moment gameplay feel great. There’s an overuse of certain gameplay segments and reliance on conventions, however, the rebel spirit pierces through to make this an essential title for fans of Metroidvanias.

A fairly classic Metroidvania in its gameplay formula, but artistically above average and embellished with a cast that wouldn't look out of place in an Anime. Some balance issues don't stop it from being a highly enjoyable title and telling a meaningful story that deserves to be listened to.

With the Metroidvania genre seemingly being one of the most popular right now, fans are stacked with choices when it comes to what to play. And while Cookie Cutter might not be at the top of the pile, it does stand out for a number of reasons. Its hand-drawn art is wonderful to behold, and its punk spirit will no doubt be very attractive to some. Then there’s the combat, which has its issues but is mostly chaotic in the best way. Ultimately, then, while it’s not going to win any awards, you could do a lot worse than spend time with Cookie Cutter.

They say never to judge a video game by its graphics but, when it comes to Cookie Cutter that is easy to do. The 2D visuals and animation in this game are simply outstanding. Perhaps, with some hefty patching, the rest of the game might one day match those gorgeous looks.

Wonderful blend of action combat and classic Metroidvania. Beautiful animation, inspiring main character and so punk rock. Highly Recommended!

only worth 10 dollar. - 10 - 14 hour long. -not polished meh 2d Metroidvania, cringe story, annoying bad glitches, sometime control not responding will, very repetitive combat with bad ai enemies, bad parry, little enemy types, bad bosses and bad open ending. -only good speed movement, level design, gore and its Metroidvania.

Sadly, not good. There's some excellent animations here and there... but they're interspersed with some awful "flash like" stuff that it's very offputting. YMMV about the art style, but I personally detest it, especially the atrocious main character with her weird proportions and poses and those cartoon stumpy legs. Worst protagonist in the history of metroidvanias. Controls are kind of floaty and unreliable; annoying to navigate and jump on platforms. The parry feels its cheating and you get hit when you're not supposed to be. Combat just isn't fun. Fatalities could have been great... if only you were able to see what happens, since they're super fast and unintelligible. Not recommended.
