Kusan: City of Wolves launched on Nintendo Switch this week and the developer has released an official launch trailer to showcase the game's neon-soaked, top-down action.
The title positions itself as a precision-focused action experience built around tight movement, boss encounters and a stylized neo-noir presentation.
The game is available both digitally on the Nintendo eShop and in physical retail formats.
Overview and context
Kusan: City of Wolves centers on Jin, an ex-soldier turned gun-for-hire, navigating a rain-soaked pixel-art metropolis.
Players move through a reported 54 handcrafted stages that span multiple chapters, combining skill-based puzzles, combat challenges and boss fights.
The game emphasizes customization through an in-game upgrade system called Techtrix and features a soundtrack composed by hip-hop artist Loptimist.
