Epic and Punishing Space Game
FTL: Faster than Light is a space fearing rogue-lite with galactic proportions. Having to deliver critical information across the galaxy is not an easy task with threats lurking all around. The game features a ton of content to keep one coming back again and again, with the advance edition content offering even more variety. Some content will start repeating over multiple playthroughs. Over tens of hours the game slowly started feeling more like a grind. Most of the game is reading or skipping over different text boxes. The combat is mostly waiting in anguish for something to happen. The battle can very quickly snowball out of control. Luckily the game allows pausing at any time, allowing one to consider their choices. The game features a lot of strategy in choosing the loadout of the ship, targeting in combat and positioning crew members etc. but it also is very luck dependent. This can be infuriating sometimes. The high level game can additionally quickly turn bad if one falls behind on upgrades when compared to the enemies. Some strategies are clearly more efficient than others. The difficulty feels quite steep with even the easy mode offering a considerable challenge. Be prepared to lose many runs early. This made finally beating the final boss that much more satisfying though. The retro-inspired art style works well and the soundtrack is incredible in setting the mood for different situations. The weapon and alert sounds feel appropriate. The game captures the scale and scope of an epic space adventure. like something straight out of Star Trek. The story, as minimal as it is, works in setting the scene. If one has the patience to read, the game features many interesting encounters.
