Esse Proxy

Amazing game!

There is a good enough game here somewhere, but it is very, very rough around the edges. Right away, I will mention it has an Assist mode which slows down enemy reaction speed, and it might be a good idea to make use of it. Nevertheless, it is absolutely incomprehensible how some of the game's glaring shortcomings got through testing. Admittedly, the mechanical side of any game is usually debatable. Every game requires getting to know it to improve. Therefore, the ponderous player movement with next-to-useless melee ability, low rate of fire of most weapons, and lightning fast enemy reflexes can arguably be chalked up to the list of intentional design decisions. Things get "interesting" when the player character can round a corner and pop a shot off dead on target, while said target - all in the same amount of time it takes the projectile to travel to it - can stop whatever it was doing, whip a gun out, turn around, and return fire with pinpoint precision. Frustrating, but can be worked around with the tools the game provides for all three characters - slowing down time and dodge roll; the characters are usually too slow to peek without them. Lowering the graphics all the way also…

Game bugs out after certain point and it's impossible to progress. Support is non-existent.

Esse Proxy is a cyberpunk action shooter developed and published by FromSouthGames that blends fast-paced combat, narrative-driven storytelling, and a grim futuristic setting into a surprisingly ambitious indie experience. Set within a dystopian world plagued by corruption, criminal organizations, and social collapse, the game places players in the middle of a dangerous conflict where survival depends on quick reflexes and careful planning. Rather than relying solely on its futuristic aesthetic, the game uses its setting to support a story filled with conspiracies, personal struggles, and intersecting character arcs that gradually reveal the larger picture behind the chaos. The most striking aspect of Esse Proxy is its lethal combat system. Encounters are designed around the idea that both the player and enemies can be taken down in moments, creating an atmosphere where every decision matters. Success comes from learning enemy patterns, positioning effectively, and reacting quickly under pressure. This approach makes firefights feel intense and rewarding, especially when overcoming sections that initially seem impossible. The game demands concentration and patience, encouraging pl…

I've played for only 27 minutes in total and already have an achievement that only 30% of people have... This is an extremely difficult game (playing on normal) You die in one shot (granted your enemies die the same way) ...but its to the point in that its not even fun.

A one shot, one kill twin stick shooter. Bullets are lethal to you and your foes. Doors are a little wonky. Use them as cover at your own risk.
