PS5’s Kusan: City of Wolves Is Basically Hotline Miami But Somehow Even More Extreme
Kusan: City of Wolves is an upcoming top-down action-shooter developed by Korean studio CIRCLEfromDOT, confirmed for PlayStation 5 release on July 30th. Drawing comparisons to the cult classic Hotline Miami, the game builds on the brutal, blood-soaked action-shooter formula while pushing further into extreme territory.
The gameplay emphasizes positioning and split-second reactions in the tradition of top-down action games, but distinguishes itself through an expanded abilities system and more action-oriented mechanics. Players must employ various techniques and adapt their approach to handle different enemy types, with boss encounters requiring specific tactical approaches. The game is designed for hardcore players seeking challenging, skill-intensive action.
Kusan: City of Wolves features a unique presentation style, with its story delivered through graphic novel-style cutscenes that seamlessly transition into gameplay sequences. This hybrid approach integrates narrative and action into a cohesive experience.
