From Space

Ever wanted to save the world with your friends while wielding a flamethrower against a horde of aggressively pink aliens? That’s the delightfully chaotic premise of From Space, a co op shooter that fully embraces its over the top, B movie charm.

Earth has been overrun not by the usual grey, serious extraterrestrials, but by a vibrant pink menace. Your mission is simple: grab your gear, team up, and take back the planet. While you can go it alone, From Space truly shines as a shared experience. There’s a special kind of fun in coordinating with friends, laying down covering fire, and reviving each other amidst the neon colored chaos.

The game gives you a toy box of destructive tools to play with. You’re not just picking a gun; you’re building a loadout. Want to rain rockets with a Rocket Launcher, then switch to mowing down waves with a Minigun? Go for it. The Flamethrower is a personal favorite for turning alien swarms into ash. You can further customize your approach with deployable turrets, grenades, and mines, adding a layer of tactical depth to the run and gun action.

Strategy comes into play with your choice of character. From Space features a diverse squad, each with unique abilities and passive perks. One character might excel at area control, while another could be a healing specialist. Experimenting with different team compositions to find synergies is a big part of the fun, even if the menu systems for managing these perks can feel a bit clunky at first.

It might not rewrite the co op shooter handbook, but From Space delivers exactly what it promises: a fast paced, humorous, and explosive adventure that’s best enjoyed with friends. It’s the perfect game for when you just want to unwind, laugh, and blast some pink aliens into oblivion.
