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

    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.

    Colorful, frantic, and with plenty of weapons at our disposal, Bloodroots is a nice surprise that will certainly appeal to those who enjoy the kind of one-hit-kill action Hotline Miami offered.

    Bloodroots is a brutally good slasher that often outstays its own welcome.

    In short, there are some burrs, yet Bloodroots succeeds in its twofold undertaking: to pay homage to the original title of Dennaton Games by packaging an "action-without-respite" with its own identity. Warmly recommended for those looking for a valuable, fun and at the right price indie.

    A good arcade game, too bad for excessive repetitiveness.

    Before you saddle up to take on Bloodroots, you need to ask yourself one question. Do you like pain? The pain of being killed constantly while trying to time a perfect combo. The pain of having finally killed all the baddies, only to plummet to your doom because of a misplaced jump. The pain of being hit once and having to start that section of the level over again. Over and over.

    A true gem of strategic twitch gameplay design. The only downside is it ran kind of poorly for me.

    One of the most underrated and unheard of titles of 2020, what a shame as its also one of the best action fueled games I have ever played.

    I don't really know what to say about this game. The art style and the music are ok, nothing to criticize about those. I can't tell much aboutI don't really know what to say about this game. The art style and the music are ok, nothing to criticize about those. I can't tell much about the story since the gameplay is SO BORING that I couldn't care less to go through it.
    It feels like a mobile game, with quite dumb mechanics and not much to enjoy about it.

It's as if someone took a mobile game, stripped it of its microtransactions, and forgot to replace the lost game mechanics. The resulting soup is pretty darn thin. Expand

    I have played 8 hours, time that it has taken me to pass the game.
    It is a good game, but it lacks development, there is no sense of excitement and pleasure.
    It lacks a story that can hook you and the mechanics become repetitive and sometimes frustrating, boring shortly after playing it.
    It is a good game to play occasionally since in no time it finishes hooking.
    I would give it a 6, but the short duration and its high price 16.79€, force me to give it a score of 2, since the cost of the games cannot be tolerated compared to what they offer you.
