About the Game



One-hit kill die-retry murder ballet. Chain deadly combos by improvising your kills with utterly everything you can get your hands on: from carrots to plasma guns. Die and retry until you carve your way to vengeance in this fast-paced one-hit kill beat 'em up.

Betrayed and left for dead, Mr. Wolf is hell-bent on finding his killer and enacting revenge - alone, and vastly outnumbered.

Thankfully for Mr. Wolf, the world is your weapon in Bloodroots - a relentless action game that unfolds across the sprawling Weird West. 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?



  • A world overflowing with makeshift weapons that not only change the way you fight, but how you get around
  • Improvise the most deadly combos and compete for fame on worldwide leaderboards
  • Fight your way through a variety of handcrafted levels, from forests to mountaintops
  • Experience a twisted Western revenge tale with a deranged cast of characters
