Bloodroots
Betrayed by his partners and left for dead, Mr. Wolf is hell-bent on enacting his revenge - alone, and vastly outnumbered. Thankfully for Mr. Wolf, in Bloodroots the world is your weapon. In this relentless action game, you'll choreograph spectacular, ultra-violent combos by making use of everything around you, from hatchets, to ladders, to...carrots? It's improvise or die, as Mr. Wolf fights his way to the center of the mystery: why was he betrayed?

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
