A good FPS can cure what ails you just so long as what ails you is the need to play a good FPS. Well, the good news is, Assault on Proxima delivers exactly that, packing in loads of style, flair, and downright fun gunplay. This is a sci-fi FPS where you join Strike Force Delta to wipe out the ruthless Gacrux Alien invaders. But let’s be real—the story’s not why you’re here, so we’ll breeze right past it. What really matters is how insanely good it feels to play.
What really makes this game stand out is just how satisfying it feels in the moment-to-moment play. The gunplay is sharp and impactful, with every weapon feeling weighty and fun to use, whether you’re mowing down waves of enemies or lining up precise shots. On top of that, the game’s striking visual style adds an extra layer of energy to the action, making every firefight as much a feast for the eyes as it is a thrill to play.
Levels tend to be more on the open side, giving you plenty of freedom to carve your own path. There are multiple routes to discover and secure, encouraging you to experiment with different tactical approaches depending on your play style and class setup. Whether you prefer flanking enemies, holding key positions, or diving straight into the chaos, there’s room to make each encounter feel fresh and dynamic.
As well as a solid arsenal of weapons and slick movement mechanics, Assault on Proxima also gives you even more ways to tailor your experience. Four distinct classes and a flexible perk system let you tweak your playstyle to suit how you want to take on the action. From there, it’s up to you—go solo through the campaign, team up with your mates in co-op against tougher, scaling enemies, or square off against each other in fast-paced PvP battles.
In our opinion, Assault on Proxima is its best when you’re playing it with friends, but even playing solo, you’ll still enjoy some great FPS action. It’s simply a blast to play. Sure, it’s not breaking new ground, but it’s a fantastic way to blow off steam and dive into some fast, chaotic fun. Plus, the soundtrack absolutely slaps—which is always a welcome bonus.
