BloodRoots was a very promising title to me, after coming off of the great PAX demo and the Katana Zero like death system. I think it does a great job in distinguishing itself in its 3D sandbox environments, but relies too much on the core gameplay being strong enough on its own. Too much of a focus on narrative (which is a shame because the writing is quite witty), and the level design becomes frustratingly unfair towards the end. I still had a great time with it though, and for $3 on sale, I have no regrets.
