From Space - Mission Pack: Concrete Jungle (DLC)

Concrete Jungle is a mission pack expansion for From Space, Triangle Studios' top-down co-op shooter where you and up to three friends carve through alien infestations with loud, oversized weapons. The base game leans hard into that arcade-brawler sensibility - chunky visuals, cathartic gunplay, maps that function as contained kill boxes. This DLC slots directly into that framework, adding urban-themed environments built around cracked pavement, collapsed city blocks, and the general aesthetic of a world that stopped caring about maintenance once the extraterrestrials showed up. If you have friends who already play From Space regularly, Concrete Jungle does what a mission pack should do: it extends the session count. The new environments carry a different visual rhythm from the base game's earlier stages, trading open terrain for tighter corridors and sightlines that punish careless positioning a little more than you might expect. Whether that translates to meaningfully different tactics depends on how seriously your group takes the game. Casual squads will notice the new look and move on. Players who have wrung out every base mission and want fresh layouts to master will get more mileage. The honest problem with Concrete Jungle is that it arrives with the same structural limitations the base game carries. From Space peaked at a Mixed review rating - 68% positive across nearly two thousand reviews - and the DLC doesn't patch the underlying issues that kept the base game from landing cleanly. Repetition sets in fast in solo play, there is no narrative scaffolding to speak of, and the mission variety remains thin. This is a game that lives and dies on the energy of the people playing it with you. Bring the right three people and Concrete Jungle is a solid excuse for another evening. Load it up alone and it feels like rehearsing for a party that never started. From a craft standpoint, the visual identity holds up. Triangle Studios has a confident stylization - bold outlines, saturated palettes, enemy designs that read instantly at a top-down zoom. The concrete setting gives the art team an excuse to work with harder contrast and denser environmental clutter, and it mostly lands. What the DLC does not bring is any new weapon type, enemy class, or mechanical hook that would shift how you play. It is geometry, not depth. Concrete Jungle is worth picking up if you already own From Space and play it with a regular crew who has run out of things to do. If you are on the fence about the base game or looking for a reason to return after a gap, the mission pack alone is not that reason.
