It came from space and ate our brains

It came from space to eat our brans has a few things that it delivers well and some others that it falls short on. The trailer feels like a very poor representation of what the game actually contains. The lack of anything to do other than shoot aliens makes it quite boring to play alone and the lack of online multiplayer makes it difficult to play with others. This makes a great party game to have a few beers with friends but it isn’t a game to sit down and play after a hard day’s work.

It Came from Space and Ate Our Brains doesn't do anything all that differently from other games of its ilk. It does all of the expected things well enough, so you'll find the experience to be enjoyable either alone or with local friends. While not exactly a top-tier experience, it is recommended if you've gone through the slew of twin-stick heavy hitters the system already has on offer.

Triangle Studios’ latest release makes a strong first impression with striking visual effects and satisfying shooting mechanics. Sadly, the appeal quickly wears thin, exposing its repetitive gameplay and samey environments. Good for a handful of short bursts, especially with friends, but it feels too much like an unfinished product to fully recommend.
