About Rootlash
Rootlash takes you on an adventure where you get to play as a living tree! Your home is being threatened by the expansion of humans, wood loggers and miners are destroying your precious home. Now it is up to you to take right into your own hands, or should I say branches, and fight off the human invaders and reclaim your home forest!
Explore
On your mission of reclaiming the forest, you'll be able to explore a vast open-world area with a huge variety of nature and living creatures. You may have random encounters with the wild and humans, and see the impact that they've made on the world.
Encampments
While exploring you may encounter human encampments such as mining camps or wood logging camps. The task is up to you to destroy all the equipment and those who resist! You may encounter various enemies which are out there to kill you and your fellow tree brethren. These camps may also contain mini-bosses in the form of excavators!
Abilities
You'll be able to learn new and special abilities to make your living tree even stronger. Learn new attacks and find other ways to regenerate your health and to communicate with the forest!
Stealth
Ambush the evil humans by disguising yourself as an ordinary tree and strike at the right moment!
