Aside from the Reservoir Dogs name in the title and the colorfully named characters, Bloody Days shares almost nothing in common with its namesake. With its rewind mechanic, you can see the potential for an exhilarating top-down, twin-stick shooter, but this never comes to pass. The game is easily exploitable and produces frustration far too often to become even the slightest bit interesting. Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days devolves to a banal experience that's all bark and no bite.
By GameSpot onEveryone has an opinion about overly verbose, philosophic, crime movies. While most of my friends were extolling the virtues of Pulp Fiction, I preferred Reservoir Dogs for my overly talky, ultra-violent movie about bad people who do bad things. Both...

By ap.ign.com onA cool license and a clever time-twisting idea both go to waste in Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days. With more mission variety, character development, and technical polish I could see this being an unexpectedly fun top-down shooter. As it is, its lack of ambition in scenario design makes too little use of its unique mechanic which, in itself, doesn’t always work the way you’d expect it to.
By ign.com onReservoir Dogs is a movie that succeeds on its attitude and storytelling. Without any of those elements making it into Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days, the attempts to remind me of the film became an annoyance, a reminder that I could be doing something better with my time. But even without the Reservoir Dogs branding, Bloody Days doesn’t come close to succeeding. The time rewind mechanic could have made for a unique experience, but it’s squandered on a mediocre, forgettable shoot-’em-up.
By Polygon onThere are good ideas at work in Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days, but it's a shame that one of the most intense and shocking indie movies ever made has spawned a game that's neither. At its best, it's a tight, engaging twin-stick shooter with an element of...
By Trusted Reviews onReservoir Dogs is a classic movie that deserves a better homage than Bloody Days for its 25th anniversary. The only equivalent would be if your dog died and it got replaced with a turtle. This was not an enjoyable experience and feels like an even sloppier cash-in on a movie franchise than the latest Ghostbusters game did.

By Destructoid onSin tener casi nada que ver con el guión original de la película, Big Star ha conseguido enmarcar ese ambiente del universo ”Tarantinesco” basando su juego en una de las obras del aclamado director. Aún con ese pequeño bajón en el apartado sonoro, todo...

Angesichts des offensichtlichen Vorbilds Hotline Miami bei einigen Spielmechaniken und der durchaus vielversprechenden Rückspulfunktion ist das bedauerlich. Ein rundenbasierter oder zumindest pausierbarer Spielablauf hätte zur Übersichtlichkeit...
