Great game.

tt feels like you are really exploring the universe, and you are part of the crew. You want to do so much more with them and continue the journey, yet each journey will come to an end, when you face the boss. FTL is a strategy game whereby you control a ship with its crew with a main goal, to survive the trials and tribulation throughout your journey to your homebase, and finally facing the final boss. If you die anywhere along the way (zero crew left or ship being destroyed), you lose and have to start all over. I like how you can customised the ship to your favourite mod. You can build defense or offense style. You can use different type of attacks (drone, crew, missle, laser, hull). Is just so much fun, esp after you watched Star Trek or Star Wars.

FTL-you will lose, a lot

This game seems unfairly difficult at times, and the first time players should probably just play on easy mode until they grasp most of the game mechanics and tactics. But it is very rewarding to actually beat it once you get your perfect setup and a lot of luck in one playthrough. It is extremely RNG based, and all the events and systems are randomly generated each time you start a new game. Some playthroughs you might not even make it past sector 3, and some you'll be able to reach the final sector only to be brutally reminded that the flagship is no pushover. Since the game randomizes everything, no playthrough is the same, and it makes the game have lots of replay value. and with the addition of "Advanced content" you get access to huge numbers of weapons, drones turrets and what not. And another great thing, it works natively on linux (I used Ubuntu 16.04 at the time of writting the review) with no issues at all (at least none I've noticed). Someone recommended the huge mod called "Captain's edition" which adds even more randomness, weapons and tactics into play, so after you've learned the basics you could check it out. Some people hate the mod for whatever reason, but I liked it, it added content so I don't get how could it be bad. I give this game a 5 star rating because of the replay value and a great content.

Straight Amazing

This game is fantastic. The perfect example of an addictive, often brutal sometimes satisfying, rogue-like. If you haven't played it, just do it. Now.

Immersion through simplicity

It takes a lot of imagination to disregard the fact that there's your computer with its keyboard, screen and mouse in front of you. It takes a lot to start believing that you're actually controlling the awesome and detailed 3d model of a ship that's in front of you. It doesn't take much, however, to accept the fact that your computer is where it is, but it's actually a control panel for a spaceship, and you are its captain. That's why FTL interface doesn't try to simulate anything but that very control panel. That, and an awesome soundtrack, is what makes the game so real. Sometimes simplicity is the key. However, one shouldn't think that anything but the visuals of the game is simplistic in any way. Actual gameplay is complex and strategic, and you'll have to make lots of decisions of all kinds. The game is not easy to beat, either, as every decision you make is permanent and can't just be cancelled, and is balanced so that you have to really make the best out of what you're given, otherwise you're just doomed. One interesting point about the game's soundtrack is that every track has a "peaceful" and "combat" version, and when situaction becomes dangerous, it doesn't just switch to another track, instead continuing the one that was going with a different arrangement, which makes the experience more integral.

The Perfect Game

It's like an old arcade game. You select your ship and when you die, you're dead for good and have to restart. Luckily, you don't have to bring a bag of coins with you to continue, even to pay for the DLC (Advanced Edition) which amounts to a full upgrade of content for free as an update. A successful run will generally last about a couple of hours, so it's not a lengthy game... on paper. It is very difficult at first, but once you learn the core mechanics... it'll still kick your ass. The game features a great deal of randomness. You can do everything perfectly but you may still not win. Nevertheless, the best players in the world will still have a 90%+ win rate on the hardest difficulty, so the skill ceiling is very high. The game is fun because it is a bunch of simple systems working together that add up to more than the sum of their parts. They will often have surprising interactions that make the challenges more interesting and fun, such as when you find out you can vent a room to put out a fire or suffocate a boarding party before they can attack your crew. There are lots of different ships to use, with widly varying strengths and weaknesses, lots of "choose your own adventure" events, and practically endless variation thanks to procedurally generated worlds and enemy ships. It's about as close to a perfect game as you can get. Highly recommended.
