Bloodroots Reviews
Bloodroots is a high-speed slash-and-bash extravaganza that always makes you want to beat "just one more level."
Forget standoffs and cattle rustling--Bloodroots turns the Wild West into a chaotic murder cartoon.
But what I keep coming back to as my favorite part of Bloodroots is its versatility. The action is ultimately easy to grasp, requiring only three buttons, but you can stylishly do so much with those base ideas thanks to the oodles of weapons and smartly designed levels. Paper Cult stuck the landing on this vibrantly violent game.
Despite some minor flaws, Bloodroots is a manically fun game that oozes style. Discovering new and unique ways to use the extremely varied arsenal to my advantage kept me coming back again and again. Even when I died (and believe me, I died plenty), I was thoroughly enjoying myself. If you're in the mood for a fast, stylish action game with plenty of challenge, Bloodroots might be just what you're looking for.
While some overly long levels and a few frustrating hazards threaten to hamper the game's enjoyment, the amazing and cathartic action in Bloodroots still finds a way to power through these flaws in order to help deliver one highly enjoyable game.
The story is fun to follow, but the real joy comes from playing levels over and over again to create the perfect combo run
Bloodroots' wacky arsenal, intriguing world, and striking art design make for a gory, gorgeous, and great time.
Overall, Bloodroots is a game that fans of challenging action brawlers need to give a shot.
BloodRoots is unfortunately not as fun as its initial promise would have made us think. Despite the undeniable fun given by the freedom of butchering your ennemies with an infinity of items, the repetitiveness of its gameplay mecanics, its un precise collisions and idle camera runs short after a couple of ours.

Bloodroots is a game that will remind us of Hotline Miami but that knows how to print its own character, although this is so crazy and thug. His artistic style will remind us of Samurai Jack, and even this may not end up liking everyone, we must recognize that the combination with so much madness and gore looks good. Anyone who has enjoyed Hotline Miami should try Bloodroots, they will not be disappointed.

Bloodroots takes the frenetic ferocity of Hotline Miami and transforms it into an action puzzler that's distinct enough to stand on its own. The title incorporates its enormous roster of weaponry effortlessly and is able to easily communicate each armament's strengths throughout spontaneous skirmishes. It's masterfully designed and bizarrely well written, meaning not even difficulty spikes and occasionally unfair camerawork can detract from its achievements.
Bloodroots presents an amazing combat sandbox and then forces players into rote memorization of the developer's set path. No amount of Samurai Jack styling can make that fun.
Bloodroots' cartoony action kept me engaged through its entire campaign. While it can be more difficult to enjoy handheld due to the likes of Nintendo Switch Lite's smaller screen, the gameplay is utterly unique and justifies a playthrough.
