Bloodroots

Bloodroots' wacky arsenal, intriguing world, and striking art design make for a gory, gorgeous, and great time.

Forget standoffs and cattle rustling--Bloodroots turns the Wild West into a chaotic murder cartoon.

Bloodroots looks phenomenal, and plays equally so in its best moments.

The story is fun to follow, but the real joy comes from playing levels over and over again to create the perfect combo run

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.

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 is an incredibly well-made action title that will keep you hooked with its excellent, flowing combat gameplay. The ability to use pretty much every item littering the world as a weapon means you'll be constantly experimenting to find the most efficient way of defeating your foes. Some lengthy load times and a few camera issues aside, this is a game that almost certainly belongs in your Switch library.

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.

Paper Cult threw Samurai Jack's aesthetic, Tarantino's offbeat writing, and Hotline Miami's lurid violence into a vat; to its credit, that confection is still a mixture I admire at a distance. It’s the closer inspection that reveals several bad roots.

‎Bloodroots boasts an enormously careful gameplay, brimming with originality and variety. Under a violent story of revenge, which presents a bloody contrast to its colorful art design, this title presents fun on all four sides. Despite the fact that some aspects of the gameplay, such as the gameplay, are not as careful as the rest of the aspects, and some technical issues that leave something to be desired, it is impossible not to recommend Bloodroots to any lover of arcade or action games.‎
