B&B From Space

Welcome to Brew and Breakdown. Let’s begin.

Our game featured today is From Space. Steam states, From Space is a solo and co-op action-shooter for squads up to four players. Take on the challenge of liberating the earth from an alien infestation with your friends, using over-the-top weaponry in a post-apocalyptic world with awesomely stylized graphics. The apocalypse has never been so much fun! 

That's no bubblegum army, that's an endless horde of menacingly pink aliens taking over our planet! Enough sweet talk, grab your gear, we need you and your squad to defeat the pink pests!

YOUR MISSION: Liberate Earth from the Alien horde!

Horde Mode 

We have an emergency on our hands! Resistance is a high-energy “Horde Mode” where you and your (extremely qualified) team will be deployed into unique locations, completing objectives, while surviving waves of pink life-forms that increase in difficulty. It’s down to you to save the world.

Collect Tokens to unlock weapons, items, and perks to boost your stats and build the ultimate loadout based on your playstyle. Complete formidable missions and extract with your squad to gain well-earned experience to level up your character. Additionally, for those that love to flaunt, you can show off your skill to other players in the session with 26 different ranks to work towards! Get out there and make us proud, recruit!

Story Mode

It’s time to save the world! Embark on a journey to meet fellow earthlings that require your assistance, your virtuoso. You’ll be completing a wide range of exciting missions, usually, through chaotic combat, and yes, you have full permission to destroy everything in your path.

While you can play From Space solo (if you're brave enough) you'd be wise to invite some friends to help you out. With online play you can create a four-person squad. Look, there's a lot of those pink pests out there so the more people, the better. Oh, and with a squad, you'll have some witnesses to tell everyone how awesome you are. It's basically a win-win scenario.

With a variety of weapons (Rocket Launchers, Mini-guns, Flamethrowers and more!) there’s no excuse not to annihilate those aliens! Build your ideal spec and use tactical items such as grenades and mines, or slow down the hordes with barbed wire and machine-gun turrets. Remember to scavenge the world for loot, you'll need it!

No matter what type of player you are, there’s a wide range of characters in From Space's roster, each with their own unique ability and weapons. Find the perfect balance with your friends as you build the ultimate super squad.

As you level-up, you’ll be able to attach special perks to your character, helping you to master the art of destroying aliens. You'll need to find ways to combat increasingly more powerful aliens, and perks will help you accomplish all of your pink alien squashing dreams. Need to rethink your strategy? No problem! We like innovators! Perks can be swapped around, even between your squad!

We’re going to level with you... an alien threat is terrifying, terrifyingly fun! Look, the world is already pretty beat up as it is. Who's going to notice if you cause a little bit more destruction while saving the day? People have insurance, it's fine...

The Decision

Xbox Intel says, “From Space is a nostalgic, solo or co-op, take on Alien Invasion movies from the 1950’s. It is action-packed and cannot be missed if you are in for some dual-stick fun-with-friends madness.” 

Brew and Breakdown gives this title 4 out of 5, Coffee Beans.  

Time to get beamed up. I say Adieu to you!

Thank you for tuning in to Xbox Intel.
