Bloodroots Reviews
Bloodroots isn’t overly long but the game length was more than satisfying. There’s a story that will carry you through the game but it certainly isn’t the most important or noteworthy element of the experience. Impressively, Bloodroots mixes things up as you play with boss fights or sections of game that differ from what came before it. I particularly enjoyed the moments where the game would spice things up, alter the perspective, or change up the playing field to keep things fresh and stylishly new.
If you are looking for a deep interactive narrative and a complex gameplay loop then I’d also advise you to pass on this. Like Ape Out or Redeemer, the core gameplay loop here is about cathartic fun and creative destruction. The environmental objects, changing challenges, and chaotic action mean that while there is only one button to attack, that rarely gets old
Bloodroots is a fantastic indie action game - it looks gorgeous, it plays even better. If you're a fan of games like Hotline Miami or even just action games in general, this is one worth checking out.
Bloodroots is a charmingly written tale of revenge. Although its story lacks originality, it makes up for it in vast weapon variety and satisfying yet challenging gameplay that keeps you coming back for more.
Not since Hotline Miami has a game so successfully married ultraviolence with one-more-go arcade action, or so successfully made me really mad
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 is a crazy funny game where everything – everything! – can become your weapon. Ever wondered how does it feel killing your enemies wielding a carrot? Now you can know.

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 one of the best action games of 2020. It’s comically designed from a visual standpoint and extremely well made from a gameplay perspective.
Even with its flaws, Bloodroots is worth checking out if you are in the mood for a challenging action game that rewards skillful play, and lots of practice.
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.

Bloodroots is madness in all the best ways… and in one of the worst. Difficulty is well balanced, and even when combat gets truly maddening, the experimentation the title offers is so much fun, it's hard to complain. However, when trying to platform through the many perilous environments, it becomes obvious where its faults lie. The camera and controls in these sections work against what's otherwise a very fun brawler, and drag the experience back from true excellence.
You can expect Bloodroots to be frustrating, but also very satisfying. It may remind you of the movies made by Tarantino or of Hotline Miami, but it stands on its own, being an immersive experience. Although the story is short, you will feel pleasantly compelled to revisit the levels and try to improve your scores. Bloodroots is very stylish, very fast, very fun and extremely bloody mayhem.
Bloodroots is one of our favourite action games so far, its fast and chaotic nature accompanied by all that violence and challenge presents a perfect mix for action game fanatics.

Bloodroots is a very simple, low profile, low budget game with a strong spine. Another one of those titles that proves that you dont have to throw money at a development project to make it successful.

When the credits rolled, I was just as impressed with Bloodroots‘ story as I was the claret-soaked action. But that same action had also taken its toll on me. There’s a certain type of player that will love Bloodroots; one that’s full of determination and grit.
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.
Bloodroots is a high-speed slash-and-bash extravaganza that always makes you want to beat "just one more level."
