Kusan: City of Wolves

Peak

Copia mala de Hotline Miami que no entiende un buen diseño implica lo visual, el mismo se tiene apoyar en lo se muestra y destaca al jugador, las tipicas ayudas visuales que algunas son evidentes otras no tanto. Aca no se distingue absolutamente nada, demasiada cosas irrelevantes que se le da el mismo peso que a todo, no vez ni cuando hay un enemigo ni cuando podes atacar, ni cuando hay un objeto que no te deja pasar o impactar al enemigo a distancia (Que ellos si). Se vuelve en una experiencia tediosa y de mal gusto

Just excellent. Unashamedly Hotline Miami inspired while still very much being its own thing. Gameplay is a little more reactive than active as you make your way through levels using multiple weapons to deal with multiple enemy types, requiring split-second decisions to avoid getting splattered. But the result of this is an experience that makes you feel like an absolute badass when the dust settles and you're the only one left standing. Like Hotline Miami, you die A LOT. But also like Hotline Miami you respawn instantly just eager to try again. Story is nothing remarkable but isn't bad. It's not what you're here for and the game knows that; so the plot is a pretty straightforward 90s anime/JRPG type plot that feels pleasantly familiar. KILLER soundtrack. Extremely stylish lo-fi hip hop beats with a lot of old kung fu movie flavor mixed in, and a couple of more intense electronic selections for big moments like boss fights. I actually wish the OST would get a standalone release. I'd say Kusan is a must-play if you're a fan of the Hotline Miami games; it's one of very few games since then that really scratches the same itch. My only complaints are that it's not longer, and that the soundtrack isn't streaming anywhere.

Cyberpunk Blacksad but if Blacksad was a cyborg. Good stuff!

Ух, долго пришлось ждать выхода игры, но я остался доволен по итогу! Хороший наследник Hotline Miami с Антропоморфными животными или Фурри по простому, крайне залипательная игрулька, прошел на одном дыхании, сюжет в принципе мне понравился, хоть и считаю некоторые моменты не до конца раскрытыми, ну сцена после титров, намекающая на продолжение. Посмотрим, если игра выстрелит, будем ждать продолжения, а так на 8 сойдет

진짜 재밌게 했습니다. 어렵지만 계속 도전하게 만드는 손맛이 있네요. 입소문 좀 더 타서 더 많은 사람들이 해봤으면 하는 바람입니다.

More Hotline Miami - Personally, I've grown tired of the limitations of a top down viewpoint for action games. The basic method of play as difficulty scales up becomes either memorizing the level or watching all 4 edges of your screen with unfocused eyes. - I don't like combo systems or score systems since I don't enjoy replaying & memorizing a route to chain a combo perfectly for a high score - I am not a "collect the coins" guy either. The upgrade materials are largely scattered throughout the levels in the random junk you can bash, which insists on a "collect coins" gameplay loop. However, these are matters of preference. If you like those things, they seem competently done at first impression. Performance Adequate but a little sluggish for a 2D sprite-based game. Feels like there's a small optimization issue with spike frames. There's the classic "feels responsive, but looks slightly sluggish" pattern common to a spike frame in the mix. I'm guessing avg frametime is good, but there are spike frames hitting 20ms+ frametime that need their workload either threaded or distributed across multiple frames rather than naively tick queued. But that is just a hunch for the dev based on how the game felt to me. Art Cutscene/comic panel art seems competently done. Not my taste, but the craft is solid. Writing Too much text & cutscenes upfront before I am invested in the characters. Too late to change that now, but I'd recommend keeping this to a minimum early in any future games & focusing on building attachment to the character & setting exclusively through broad strokes diegetic methods for the first 30 minutes before slowly ramping up the exposition. Combat Pretty fun if you like the style. Attacks are instant response. Deploys most of the standard game juice techniques. Each level more or less boils down to a series of button entry sequence puzzles. Punch a door into the ranged enemy. Combo the melee standing near the entry. Throw a knife at the approaching cyberdog. Shoot the ranged enemy that runs around the corner to stun him, run up and punch him out. It's Hotline Miami with a little more baseline complexity. If the later levels are designed properly to take advantage of it, then it should get pretty satisfying. Upgrade System Inventory tetris Conclusion Overall seems competent... just not to my taste.
