FTL: Advanced Edition

If you feel like wasting a few hours on a horribly unbalanced, pure luck based game that "generates" encounters based on a very limited number of different events (maybe you meet 4 intruders instead of 2, maybe the ship is purple instead of orange and so on, ooohhh the variation) at least get it on sale

Yes, even for these days FTL is still captivating and looks quite good. We have a bunch of different adjustable and upgradable ships to play with a different tactics. FTL is a sort of space-chess with some alien lore and a turn base strategy with a gamble dices. So, depending on luck, you will have pretty much different results with the same strategy and brains for each playthrough. That is why I do not understand why there is no save/load system. Actually it is possible to make saves - manually copying profiles in some other folders. But this is annoyng part of this game. From the other hand - one run is not so long. Like chess. And only you decide when to press the button on the clock

This game was a really pleasant surprise. It is addicting, fun, and brutally challenging (if you want it to be). For such a low price, I cannot recommend it enough.

There is so many good reviews already. I'll just add that this is an addicting little game. Not expensive not heavy but crazy good. Just buy it. MUST HAVE.

In FTL you are the captain of star ship navigating the cosmos on a harrowing journey to escape “the rebels”. You manage your ship, fortify your crew, and fight enemies. It is a concept that is enjoyable to indulge in but there isn’t much to this game to keep me playing. It is a good little game for a few dollars. I admit I am biased. I am not a rogue lite fan or a fan RNG. I understand the merits of it. The rouge lite allows for the feel of a classic quarter muncher, and the RNG attempts at variety. The preceding merits leave rogue-lites lacking in narrative depth and actively deters vested interest.
