The Underdog

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.
