What kind of game is Cohen 1939?
Cohen 1939 is a top-down shooter from Cube of Cube, published by 2P Games and released on Steam on September 29, 2026. You play Elisa Cohen, widow of Richard Cohen, head of the Raven's Claw gang, hunting his killers through 1930s Birmingham. Everyone dies in one hit, you included; empty guns are thrown, not reloaded, and the chapters build to boss fights that each have their own trick. Start with the beginner tips, check the boss guide when a fight stops you cold, and the fixes page if a door simply will not open.
Four killers, one key
Who you play, and what Shift does
Every character has one active skill on Shift, with a small number of charges shown next to its icon. In the story each chapter hands you a set character; challenge runs let you pick.
Slide
Richard Cohen
Head of the Raven's Claw. You play his last night before the story moves on without him.
In the demo his Shift skill is a slide you can shoot out of. Kills during a slide cut its cooldown, so chained slides are the idea.
Flow state
Sevinda
Elisa's bodyguard, in a newsboy cap and double-breasted trench coat.
Shift switches on her flow state, which slows time; press Shift again to switch it off. Best saved for being rushed or surrounded.
Rage
The fourth killer
Not yet named in any source we can check.
The Steam page lists rage as the fourth playstyle. A Chinese reviewer describes getting hurt triggering a rage where fast kills keep it going.

Who keeps these files
Cohen 1939 Guide is an independent, unofficial fan resource for Cohen 1939 players — not affiliated with Cube of Cube.
- How we verify: Mechanics and boss tactics are only written up when at least two independent player reports agree, usually Steam reviews, Steam forum threads and recorded playthroughs. Names, prices, achievement rates and specs are copied from the Steam store and Steam stats pages on the date shown.
- Update cadence: Steam news for the game is checked for patches every few days during launch month. When a patch lands, the bug list and boss pages are re-read against the notes first, because those are the pages a patch is most likely to break.
- What we don't do: No invented chapter maps or made-up weapon stats. If the studio has not published a number and players have not measured it, the page says it is unknown instead of guessing.
