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 really is an amazing little title that frantically bounces you between frustration and accomplishment in the most entertaining way possible. Its one-shot-kill keeps the action going nonstop, even when you’re the one being taken out, again, and again, and again.

A perfect title for hack-and-slash and western fans, with a story of vengeance and challenging levels to explore.

I look forward to see how the community deals with Bloodroots. Speed runs and the most effective mission completion possible promise entertaining actions on the screen. But, too many little things and annoyances have spoiled the game fun for me. Whether it was missing animations, inaccurate camera work or delayed hits - in the end it's the sum that counts. It's a pity, since I had such high hopes for the small indie team in the middle of last year. But nothing is lost yet. Maybe patches and updates can put it in the right light, there are dozens of good approaches.

I came for its gameplay, stayed for the story, and fell in love with the world of the Weird West, and can only hope there is an opportunity to revisit it at some point in the future.

Bloodroots is an excellent game and one of the first true gems of 2020. It takes all that was great in previous games of a similar ilk and builds on them with a beautiful art style, slick combat and great level design.

Paper Cult newest game is violent, frenetic and fantastic. Every level feels like a puzzle that sometimes feels limited due to some levels feel like there's only one solution possible reducing the mechanic testing by the player.

Bloodroots is beautiful, simple and goes straight to the point, with no frills when showing your proposal. Playing the first level, we already know where we are and what we have to do. With fluid gameplay and a very charismatic and characteristic cartoon art, we are also awarded a soundtrack that is not quite memorable, but is very good and goes well with the western spaghetti theme that it presents. His challenge level strongly encourages the replay factor, inviting us to retry the previous levels to get the highest scores, unlock the hats and find the hidden wolves. It manages to be a very fun game and with a great level of recommendation.

Overall, BloodRoots is an outstanding game. It combines fun and fast-paced strategic action with a stellar soundtrack, appealing art style and weapon variation that makes this game stand out within its genre. Despite some technical issues, Bloodroots is an excellent top-down action game, one of the very best.

An action game like John Wick. The player must become a meticulous assassin and plan a perfect assassination without a hitch from the beginning to the end of the stage. The system of assassinating enemies by using objects placed throughout the map feels like solving a puzzle. The game is quite difficult, but the sense of achievement when you succeed in your mission is great.

This is a fast and (in a cartoon style) gloriously violent game. It looks great and has numerous levels of complexity and depth making it a challenging yet ultimately very satisfying experience. Newly available on Xbox Game Pass, I recommend that you give this gem a try.

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.

This is a title that got me excited the first time I saw it in a Nindie Direct and that I was even more thrilled with when I got to play it some last year at PAX...

Bloodroots is a high-speed slash-and-bash extravaganza that always makes you want to beat "just one more level."
