Quentin Tarantino's breakthrough 1992 debut Reservoir Dogs doesn't exactly scream video game adaptation. The tale of a botched heist where someone is a mole is a splendid whodunnit where a ragtag crew of codenamed goons question how everything went pear-shaped. Set almost entirely in a single location, Reservoir Dogs is a very talky film. There's violence, sure, but nothing in the way of a typical action sequence. Nothing that could easily be translated into a video game.
That hasn't stopped Barcelona-based developer Big Star Games (whose only title to its name is a the short film spin-off Fist of Jesus: The Bloody Gospel of Judas) from trying to make a game out of Reservoir Dogs anyway. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't make a lick of sense.
In this top-down action game spin-off, Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days, you play as the black-suited Dogs going on a string of heists prior to the jewelry store that kicks off the events of the film, nevermind the fact that in the movie the titular gang is primarily comprised of strangers who just met ahead of their assignment. Hence the codenames.
