Bloodroots feels like playing thorugh one of those children illustrated books you had when you were little, the artstyle is nostalgic and the story is quite simple and "folklore like" enough to remind me of that innocence. Though this innocence slowly faded away as you enter a 'Hotline Miami' perspective about unavoidable killing that just feeds your desire for murder in levels with good replayability, amazing weapons and diversity with ups and downs for each to which on top lies your imagination on how fast and perfect you're gonna finish the levels.
I gotta say I'm a fan of the gaming mechanics as a storytelling in this game and I loved how the game pushes you straight into the level as you open the game again, I thought its a nice catch. Though, I'm a little disappointed on how this game felt at times, often a chore than a good challage and it seems like it's hit or miss oftentimes with some of the bugs happening; the story and characters are good, but nothing too amazing since I managed to get the plot twist 2 hours into the game, though they fit the gameplay and I gotta say that I adored the Bonus bonus bonus bonus level.
