FTL: Advanced Edition

I expected a horribly dull game by the look. I expected to put this game down after a single try to go back to playing my minecraft addiction or sims3' or even 1 of over 200 games on my system. I expected countless deaths at least to get tedious. In fact theres little not to love about the game. It will suck you in with a just one more try attitude as you aim for the next ship onlock to 'work that weasel... and knock it up a notch'. My best thoughts on why it's so good is that it is almost as if it was one of the best co-op space survival sim boardgame, except unlike most things has not been ruined in it's transition from turnbased to realtime. Put simply the game is a time sink and though it may not enrapture an audience the only negative i could find is the difficulty trolling through shop after shop for a specific weapon to complete an achievement. Lets face it that's my own 'completionist' fault not actually a tarnish of the games brilliance.

I sat down for a quick session with my new game just to try it out and see if I hadn't just wasted my money. Two hours and 100 encounters later, I knew I found a new, great game. I'll be playing this for a while. While seemingly simple, there are limitless possibilities in your escape from the Rebels. Fly through dangerous nebula to put some serious distance between you and your pursuers, fly through friendly sectors to restock on supplies, or take on Rebel systems to put a hurtin' on your enemies; it's all up to you. This may be on the higher end of the prices on GOG.com, but it has been well worth it so far and I can't wait to put some more time in.

Never beaten it yet. Maybe I never will. Still great.

I highly recommend FTL to anyone who enjoys roguelikes and SPACE! Pew pew!

Marvel, great game and lots of fun. This is the first real Kickstarter game and it does not disappoint. It is very simple and at the same time very tough. You will find yourself in cycle and trying to finish the game after last failure. It really got me and I spent two days playing it and trying to get to final boss and beat him. Very very nice surprise and great game.
