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.
Just gonna say this now. I am not a fan of Star Trek, I've never seen Firefly, and most 'future' games that take place in space annoy me. However, this game is a gem in the rough. A sadistic, angry beast of a gem. I love every moment of it.
Despite the fact that you will die a LOT, something about this strategy rogue game keeps pulling me in. The many unique encounters, the selection of weapons and tactics to use, and the secrets littered in the game just makes it pure fun to explore. I'd find myself up until 4 in the morning playing this, and each time I'd die, I'd just tell myself 'this is the last time' before starting all over again.
If you love strategy games where you are the underdog in a system where most everyone wants to kill you dead, this is the game for you. Seriously.
I loved the idea. I love that kind of games. But FTL itself it's too flat. And the game is too hard. Really, too hard!
You simply don't play because your best weapons are your faith and your lucky. The combat system is quite OK but the fact that "you can switch between systems to survive" is not true at all. You have to mantain all of yours system to survive!
No shields equals death. No oxygens means death. No weapons means death. One of your crew dead means... death!
I lost a well-upgraded ship, on the last sector, due to a simply solar flare. That took me away three hours of gameplay.
Since I started playing, I've been going from loving to hating this game and back again. It's great to see my ship and crew make it yet to another sector, and then, Baaammm!!! Something disables the shields, the enemy boards my ship and kills one of my favorite crewmen. Or destroys the whole ship. And for some reason I just cant help from hitting the New Game Button afterwards.
As I said it's frustrating and freaking addictive at once.
