PQube and CIRCLEfromDOT have confirmed a release date for Kusan: City of Wolves, which is coming to Nintendo Switch next month.
This fast-paced hardcore top-down shooter throws you into the rain-soaked streets of Kusan as ex-soldier turned gun-for-hire Jin, who is tasked with protecting the city’s most dangerous cargo – a girl fitted with a city-grade atomic weapon.
“As the hero of the story, Jin will go to any brutal lengths to save the girl at the centre of a conspiracy that threatens to consume the entire city,” the publisher outlines in a press release.
“Dash through tightly designed combat arenas with brutal precision, chaining gunfire, Quantum Blade strikes, parries, and split-second movement into stylish displays of violence. Every encounter in Kusan: City of Wolves rewards aggression, precision, and creativity, as you express yourself through combat on your way to stopping imminent oblivion.”
