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.‎

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.

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.

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.
