Kusan: City Of Wolves Channels Some Serious Hotline Miami Vibes On Switch Today
Kusan: City of Wolves has officially launched today on the Nintendo Switch eShop, bringing an intense top-down shooter experience to Nintendo’s hybrid console. Developed by indie studio CIRCLEfromDOT, the game draws clear inspiration from the violent, fast-paced action of Hotline Miami while forging its own distinctive identity within the action genre.
Players take on the role of Jin, an ex-soldier turned gun-for-hire, with one notable twist—Jin is a big cat, specifically a panther or similar feline. His mission is to fight through a tower block teeming with enemies to protect a young girl who possesses world-ending destructive capabilities; she’s able to blow up the entire city, making her protection critical to the story’s narrative stakes and motivation.
The game emphasizes fast-paced, gruesome gameplay and intense action sequences, positioning itself as a departure from more relaxing gaming experiences. With its top-down perspective and focus on gunplay and melee combat, Kusan: City of Wolves is designed to appeal to players who enjoy challenging action games in the vein of Hotline Miami and similar indie action titles. The release on Switch eShop marks the game’s arrival on Nintendo’s platform, bringing the developer’s violent action title to a broader audience of handheld and docked gaming enthusiasts.
