FTL: Advanced Edition

I downloaded this for a day off distraction. After going through the tutorial I thought it may hold my attention for an hour or so. A few blurry eyed days later and I am still playing this game. Can't... stop... playing..... Graphics are just right for this type of game - not too distracting but good enough to get the meaning and feeling across, soundtrack and effects are great. Gameplay is simple to learn but difficult to master. Overall a great game!

Much simpler than any rogue based game but does have the randomization and strategy often seen in rogue-like games. Easy to use UI and interface. A little overwhelming at first but I truly started to enjoy the game after the very helpful tutorial. I was a little disappointed that I had to buy the game straight from the developers site instead of gog to get the linux version included. Still a great game.

Love this Game!...wish it had option to save more than one game at a time...very frustrating to get to three sectors only to have the O2 run out for no apparent reason and die!!! UGH - no one can hear you scream in space, just on a gaming forum.

THIS GAME IS SUPERB!!! I wrote a long review with an example of a game i had to give evidence to the claims but gog said it was too long :-( So i'm just gonna say that this game IS that good! Its the first game that really gives the player the experience of actually BEING a captain! Its not "fly ship, have crew fight enemy" its all about giving the orders and your crew get trained by what happens and what you do not by just area assignment and its always different and always engrossing and (on Normal mode, haven't tries Easy and do not intend to because Normal set just set perfectly!) the perfect lvl of difficulty with risk/reward and the way you play giving a real path in growth so theres very much different ways to play the game and the ships starting gear (play on normal not easy because that makes the equipment you have have more meaning and causes a real defined play styles and importance of real choice you make etc, just like a real captain!) etc etc etc. Anyway yeah, superb game that is just so finely crafted that you can really feel the passion and dedication to "Get things right!" from the writers :-) AND! they will be releasing a FREE UPDATE to owners to the Advanced Edition which they will be releasing within the next couple of months! :-D Goto their site n just look! Cannot wait for the Advanced Edition! :-D

This game is everything I ever wanted.... to command a starship. However it isn't easy and sometimes a simple mistake can mean death for your crew. I love all the customisations and tools. If you want a game that makes you think, takes time to learn and not one to conquer quickly then this is really the game you want.
