Curator Notes

Bloodroots is Paper Cult’s top-down revenge game set in the Weird West: Mr. Wolf dies in a single hit and kills just as quickly, using whatever he picks up as a weapon. The Montreal studio released it on February 28, 2020, on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Super Rare Games produced the Switch physical edition as SRG #62, on sale from January 13, 2022, limited to 4,000 copies.

Dedicated artifact views of the individual copy have not yet been filed; the gallery below is held open for that documentation.

Preservation Notes

Access Hardware: Nintendo Switch; compatible Nintendo Switch family hardware
Original Hardware: Nintendo Switch
Playback Compatibility: Nintendo Switch software is region-free. The retained game card is the primary access copy and runs on any Nintendo Switch console.
Preservation Concerns: Game cards are flash media; long-term charge retention, contact wear, and loss of the small card from its case are the principal risks. Any content delivered as an eShop download or update depends on Nintendo’s servers and is not preserved by the card alone.
Edition History: Released February 28, 2020 on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Super Rare Games #62 is the Switch physical edition recorded here, printed in a run of 4,000.
Access Status: Super Rare Games’s physical edition was a limited production and now circulates through the secondary market. The digital Switch edition was issued separately on the Nintendo eShop.
