Did you ever want to reroute power to the shields, set phasers to stun,
or even eject the warp core? Well, now you can! In FTL, you experience the
atmosphere of running a spaceship trying to save the galaxy. It's a
dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with
multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down
your shields? Reroute all power to the engines in an attempt to escape,
power up additional weapons to blow your enemy out of the sky, or take the
fight to them with a boarding party? This "spaceship simulation
roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure
through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat.
FTL's complex strategic gameplay allows you to give orders to your crew,
manage ship power distribution, and choose weapon targets in the heat of
battle. You will encounter unique alien lifeforms and technology. You can
upgrade your ship and unlock new ones with the help of six diverse alien
races. Be the Captain you want: hundreds of text based encounters will
force you to make tough decisions. In the randomized galaxy each
play-through will feature different enemies, events, and results to your
decisions. Each time you play another challenging session of FTL: Faster Than Light, it won't be quite the same.
Unlimited adventures in the vast depths of unpredictable space.
A new randomized galaxy to explore each time you start a new game.
Quick play sessions (from 5 to about 90 minutes) will allow you to add that spaceship commander feeling to any of your days.
- Unforgiving: my life is to short to invest 50 hours just to find out why I just died.
- Bad graphics: Into the Breach at least has beautiful, readable pixel graphics. FTL is just ugly and convoluted.
Probably a fantastic game for people who are willing to invest weeks of their lives. I am just not anymore.
Clunky interface, repetitive and boring gameplay, zero replay value. Buy this game if you want to throw away ten dollars on a mid-level flash game from the early 2000s. "Reroute power to the shields, set phasers to stun, or even eject the warp core?" Thanks for the tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that this game is desperately self-conscious about ripping off of Star Trek, but at least let us know that your advertising is false. The personnel combat mechanism is not even interesting enough to have "phasers" that you can "set to stun," and there is no "warp core" that you can "eject," just some green bars that turn red that then turn green again.
The advertising also calls our attention to the "guest writer" Chris Avellone, though the predictable "quest" scripts in the game read like the most uninteresting installments of the "Choose Your Own Adventures" book series. Bragging about your writers is not a good move for a game that so self-consciously rips off of other sci-fi franchises. The public university English majors who wrote this one couldn't even think of a non-ripoff name for their engines, and the Monster-guzzling teenagers who designed the flash animations even lifted the BSG jump drive effect. The utter lack of creativity behind this game would be forgivable if it were actually fun to play.
Take the ten dollars you were about to spend on this game and turn it into quarters at a local arcade and spend an hour playing Gallaga. You'll get graphics just as good, three times the meaningful play time, gameplay a thousand times more enjoyable, better replay value, and you won't be distracted by an intellectually-impoverished desperate grab at relevance through terrible and uninteresting writing.
I dont understand why people gives so many stars to this game. All you can get with this game is 10 minutes fun, after that, the game is boring. I only played 5-6 games and I finally uninstalled it. Dont waste your money on it. I wasted 7.99 eur on it and I feel deceived.
