FTL: Advanced Edition

You're lightyears away from reaching Brock!

One of the best games I've ever played. I keep coming back to play more.

This is one of the few games that I've been coming back to play over and over for about 10 years now. I originally bought it on Steam and have played it for hundreds of hours. It IS challenging, even on easy. I still haven't beaten the game on the moderate or hard settings, but that's because I'm mostly a coward... There are 10 different ships each with 3 different layouts and starting system sets that nudge each ship build in a different direction. This makes for varied runs and offers lots of replayability. Combat consists of real time action with a freqeunt pausing to coordinate weapons systems, order crew around the ship to repair ship systems and hull breaches, extinguish fires, fend off boarding parties or even board enemy ships. There is a lot of detailed game design and polish here for such a seemingly simple presentation. The sound design and music are also top notch. This is one of my personal favorite games and will continue to be one I repeatedly come back to. Well worth the price.

and u will like it also dont expect to win quickly... even on easy

FTL: Faster Than Light is a great game. Combination of something like Star Trek: Bridge Commander with Rogue-like RPG. Randomly generated systems and encounters that never repeat and you'll never go through the same game twice. FTL is deceptively simple, you are just clicking on few buttons but there's a lot of strategy and decision -making behind actually doing good in FTL. Managing your crew, specializing them, keeping your supplies of fuel and ammo up and possibly buying upgrades and new ship parts at stores. There's pletny to unlock and also to do. With the randomly generated universe you will hardly run out of fun with FTL. If you at all are a fan of Star Trek and other sci-fi series and wanted to try and command your own space-ship there are hardly any better games than FTL to try.
