Bloodroots Reviews
Bloodroots looks phenomenal, and plays equally so in its best moments.
Bloodroots' wacky arsenal, intriguing world, and striking art design make for a gory, gorgeous, and great time.
The story is fun to follow, but the real joy comes from playing levels over and over again to create the perfect combo run
Forget standoffs and cattle rustling--Bloodroots turns the Wild West into a chaotic murder cartoon.
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.
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.
Bloodroots offers a satisfying gameplay loop, and the variety of weapons often make up for the overly difficult areas.
Bloodroots is a highly-replayable romp that will see you utilizing everything from a fish to a carrot in order to take down foes.
A highly enjoyable action romp, with a winning sense of humour and a hugely entertaining range of unusually varied weapons.
You will swear at the screen a lot when playing Bloodroots. Mr Wolf will die hundreds if not thousands of times throughout your run, and sometimes you'll just need to put the game down and walk away. Yet Bloodroots can sink its claws into you in a way that few games do. It is a challenge put in front of you that you will want to prove you can overcome. Freaking Bloodroots, man.
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.
Colorful, frantic, and with plent of weapons at our disposal, Bloodroots is a nice surpirse that will certainly appeal to those who enjoy the kind of one-hit-kill action Hotline Miami offered.

Bloodroots is a good game with different finishes and links in the use of items, but it clearly lacks development, and the bright mechanics and blood are too quickly exhausted. And unlike My Friend Pedro or Hotline Miami, there is no feeling of excitement and pleasure from the just-tested combat combination. This is probably the main reason for frustration.

Bloodroots combat is fast and frenetic that is on par with games like Hotline Miami and The Hong Kong Massacre. With great presentation and a good amount of replayability, Bloodroots is a wildly bloody and thoroughly satisfying time.
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.
Overall, Bloodroots is a game that fans of challenging action brawlers need to give a shot.
Bloodroots is an aesthetically gorgeous, grindhouse inspired action game with a glorious combat system that's unfortunately spoiled by some poorly designed platforming segments that just refuse to gel with the game's core mechanics.
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.
