Set phasers to FUN!
FTL: Faster Than Light, an amazing blend of hard science fiction, strategy, and drama that sends you on a voyage through a procedurally generated galaxy filled with awe and danger, is available 66% off today, on GOG.com. That's only $3.39 for the next 24 hours!
Now, FTL here is a tough game. Some would say that at times it's unfair. To that any spacecraft captain would promptly reply: "life isn't fair, crewman! Suck it up. Now zip-up that red uniform of yours and go check the contamination levels in the second airlock". They would be quite right. Life in the depths of space has no place for such concepts of fairness. You need to be prepared for solar winds blowing in your face. You need to expect a sudden abordage by alien pirates. You need to have a backup backup backup reactor core. That's just everyday's reality for a starship commander. Although, hard as it may seem, you get to reroute power to the shields and launch photon torpedoes at stuff, so in the end it's way more satisfying than all other careers you could have.
FTL: Faster Than Light is a meticulous simulation of a spaceship commander's duties. The fate of the ship and its crew lies in your hands, so your performance has to be flawless. You have to track many of the craft's systems at once, issue orders to your men, and plan at least five steps ahead. The galaxy you'll be traversing is procedurally generated and full of danger, so the game provides infinite replayability and challenge. If you are a sci-fi fan and you enjoy difficult games, FTL: Faster Than Light will mesmerise you with its setting and unforgiving mechanics.
Boldly go, where several men have gone before and got their butts kicked by aliens! Grab FTL: Faster Than Light, for only $3.39 on GOG.com. The 66% off discount offer lasts until Thursday, November 28, at 10:59AM GMT.
