Violent games are all over the place, but something pretty important is to actually make them pleasing, and this means that the game usually has to go through heavy stylization. Top POV games have been certainly good at delivering this type of game for a long time now, and Esse Proxy could be the next hit game in this style. This violent, top-view game brings action, violence, and style, to a new level. Developed by FromSouthGames takes us once again on a cyberpunk adventure, but let's see what's game is all about!
About the game
A dystopian future, gangs, weapons, and several characters are all that Esse Proxy needs to present its credentials. The title, developed alone by a "one-man team" that answers to the name FromSouthGames have perfectly defined its aesthetic and mechanical references, picking up elements from here and there. And it's not just the setting: the characters are inspired by movies like Blade Runner or Sin City, while the whole visual aspect is based on an exaggerated art style with neon lights and black backgrounds.
The first thing that stands out about Esse Proxy is that he knows where he is coming from. His references are clear, but he also knows the disciples of the original. In times when the pure and hard arcade is dying, it is always a joy to find proposals that try to revitalize it from a more contemporary perspective.
Violently similar
As soon as we start playing Esse Proxy we notice the immediate similarities it bears with Hotline Miami. and it's obviously inspired by this amazing title, which is near to becoming a classic now that it's 10 years old.
The shadow of Hotline Miami is tremendously long, although I'm not sure if it's for the right reasons. Dennaton Games' classic has left a long trail of imitators, most of which chose to focus on picking up mechanics without stopping to think about the purpose of those mechanics. Dennis Wedin and Jonatan Soderstrom's title was a masterclass in which to take the player's mood, which is essential for the rest of the game to work.
Of course, the visual style reminds us of indie games like Akande, which follow some similar lines but also include the cyberpunk art style. even though Akane is a much simpler version of this game, made to pass some time mostly.
Esse Proxy is going to blow things up as soon as the full version of the game is released, but you can already play the game as it's available for early access. The Game has fast-paced gameplay, nice art design, and challenging levels. it's fun to play, even though it can get to be a little frustrating sometimes, and it can feel a bit unfair. But overall, it's a fun game, and you should really check it out.
Pros:
- Good graphics
- Fast-paced gameplay
- Excellent music
- Nice designs
Cons:
- Can get to be a bit frustrating
- A bit short
