Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a quiet or low-pressure pace may find the repeated combat waves too hectic.

Our take on From Space
Its defining structure is objective-based missions that end with extraction after players survive increasingly difficult alien waves.
What is From Space?
From Space is a solo or online co-op action-shooter for squads of up to four players.
Missions place players in varied locations where they complete objectives while surviving increasingly difficult waves of pink aliens. Combat uses weapons such as rocket launchers, miniguns, and flamethrowers, along with grenades, mines, barbed wire, and machinegun turrets. Scavenged loot and collected Tokens unlock weapons, items, and perks. Characters gain experience through missions and extraction, while perks can be exchanged between squad members. A roster of characters provides different abilities and weapons, and 26 ranks offer progression tied to player performance.
