Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days adds a time-hopping twist to top-down shooters

Reservoir Dogs is known more for its tense storyline than its action sequences. But that isn’t stopping yet another developer from trying to make a shooter out of it.

Director Quentin Tarantino’s 1992 classic is getting its second video game adaptation (Eidos Interactive made one for PlayStation 2 over 10 years ago). This time, it’s coming from Hollywood studio Lionsgate and Barcelona, Spain-based Big Games. Unveiled at last week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days is a top-down shooter with an intriguing twist: It forces you to rewind time as you try to complete various heists around Los Angeles. It’s coming to PC this spring and Xbox One later this year.
