About this game
Reservoir Dogs is a soulslike action game meticulously crafted by a 2-person team
Our game focusing on "hardcore combat" and "linear main story + branch exploration". Players will take on the role of a medieval mercenary and embark on adventures centered around various BOSS warrants—no tedious redundant tasks, each task is a hunting challenge against a specific BOSS. Only by defeating the wanted target can you unlock subsequent plots and scenes. From a top-down perspective, the soulslike signature features of "precise blocking", "parry execution" and "stamina management" run through the entire game. Every swing and dodge requires precise timing, and the reasonable allocation of stamina directly determines the outcome of the battle. After being injured, you need to rely on random in-battle supplies or town recovery items to heal. Players can choose 4 types of weapons: sword and shield, two-handed sword, mace, and spear. Each weapon has a distinct feel and is suitable for different combat styles.
Unlike the harsh penalties of traditional soulslike games, even if you fail in battle in this game, you can still gain a certain amount of experience points. After accumulating experience, you can go to the town to enhance your level, unlock and learn new weapon skills, moves and passive effects, and also strengthen your equipment in the town to improve your combat power. The game integrates rich roguelike elements. In each challenge, enemy configurations and supply locations are randomly generated. After clearing the level, you can also obtain random enhancement cards. Different cards can provide a variety of attribute bonuses and skill boosts, making each retry a brand-new combat experience.
Game Features
Top-Down Soulslike Combat: Precise blocking, parry execution and stamina management. The low fault tolerance brings a high sense of accomplishment, and the pure soulslike hardcore experience is full.
4 Weapon-Specific Gameplays: Sword and shield focus on defensive counterattacks, two-handed sword pursues large-range slashes, mace can break armor, and spear is good at medium-range stabs. Each weapon has an independent skill tree, allowing you to create a unique combat style.
Diverse Dynamic Scenes and Weather: Covering 8 different atmospheric scenes such as deserts, dungeons, and grasslands, combined with dynamic weather such as sandstorms, white nights, rainy days, heavy fog, and blizzards. Each scene and each type of weather will affect combat and exploration strategies.
Soulslike & Roguelike Fusion: Random enemies and random supplies. Random enhancement cards can be unlocked after clearing the level. Combined with the setting that experience can still be obtained after failure, it balances hardcore and exploration fun, making each challenge a new experience.

Our game now has a new name
Our game now has a new name—Underdogs. Does this ring a bell from the end of the tutorial level?Of course, there are still a few other things to address. But rest assured, we’re not going anywhere—development is still ongoing! We’ll roll out a brand-new update by the end of January. This update will include new side content, plus a long-awaited feature that we’ve kept under wraps (we’re saving the surprise—stay tuned for more details!).Since the v0.5 update brings major changes, we’ll be rolling out follow-up tweaks over time, including balance adjustments and visual polish. To make the game accessible to more testers, we’ve also added two additional lower graphics presets. As for optimization, we’re still hard at work—thank you for your patience and stay tuned!That’s all for this update. If you’re interested, join our Discord server or QQ group to connect with us. Your feedback is what drives our updates forward!P.S. We’ll be gradually replacing all legacy asset images, so you may encounter some temporary display glitches during this transition.Read full article on Community Announcements (3908915169)
