Kusan: City of Wolves

Kusan: City of Wolves (Korean: 쿠산: 늑대들의 도시) is a top-down shooter video game by South Korean developer CIRCLEfromDOT published on July 30, 2026 by PQube for Windows, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. The game features anthropomorphic animal characters and takes place in a fictional city called Kusan, a cyberpunk city with a neo-noir atmosphere. The player controls the main character, Jin, a feline soldier with a metal prosthetic arm ("War hand") which is used as a melee weapon. Jin is portrayed as an antihero who employs violent methods to enact his agenda. The game uses a pixel art style, and has been compared to Hotline Miami for both the art style and gameplay. Gore, drug use, sex trafficking, and crime are all common themes throughout, with the levels featuring elements of clutter lending to the overall dystopic cyberpunk and neo-noir aesthetic. It features comic-book style cutscenes which are displayed one panel at a time with player input, and a hip-hop soundtrack by South Korean rapper Loptimist. The game was developed over eight years by a small team, and was inspired by Hotline Miami and John Wick. It has been generally well-received by critics, in particular for the gameplay, soundtrack, and replayability, while some critics found the narrative lacking.
