Indie hack and slash title Bloodroots will receive a limited physical release for the Nintendo Switch. Developer and publisher Paper Cult are working with Super Rare Games to print 4,000 copies of the game. They will be available for purchase through the Super Rare Games website starting January 13 at 6 pm GMT.
Bloodroots was originally released on February 28, 2020, and is available on several platforms, including a digital release for the Nintendo Switch. With only 4,000 copies being produced, the game will only be available to those fast enough to purchase one. Secondly, this release marks Super Rare Games’ first Nintendo Switch release for 2022, the company announced in a press release earlier today.
“For our first release of 2022, we’re proud to announce our partnership with Paper Cult for their fast-paced ultra-violent hack and slash Bloodroots, available in physical form for the first time on the Nintendo Switch™.”
Players take on the role of Mr. Wolf, a man on a bloody quest for revenge against his killer. Players make use of improvised weapons to inflict extreme violence upon their enemies.
Super Rare Games released a trailer for Bloodroots earlier today, which features Mr. Wolf beating up enemies with a variety of weapons, including a ball and chain, a ladder, and a carrot.
A countdown to the physical Nintendo Switch release of Bloodroots is visible on the Super Rare Games Website right now. In their press release earlier today, Super Rare Games told fans what to expect upon release:
“In typical Super Rare Games tradition, this rare print physical release includes all the current content on its cart, a full-color manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards. Fans won’t have long to wait, as Super Rare Games titles ship soon after going on sale.”
Physical copies of Bloodroots will cost $39.31 USD upon release and are limited to two per customer.
