FTL: Advanced Edition
Description
FTL: Advanced Edition features:
- New systems, playable ships, alien race, weapons, drones, and more!
- A new sector with new events, written by Tom Jubert and special guest writer Chris Avellone!
- New music by Ben Prunty!
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.

Simple, fun and very catchy
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.

i can't stop playing it
it's that same strange phenomena that recently occured to me while playing diablo 1 & 2. it's somehow what star trek bridge commander should have been but all in 2d retro-glory. oh, and by the way: the game runs pretty fine on older machines. i use to play it on a grumpy old core duo machine and it still rocks ;)

The best of what indie games represent
Let's be honest: this game would never be released as a AAA title by a major publisher. It's too niche, too difficult, and not by any means an action FPS. Instead, it's a confident, polished game that knows what it is and what it wants to do, and does it extremely well. It's a hard-as-nails roguelike--meaning it has randomized levels and permadeath. Each playthrough is designed to last about an hour or two, and whether you die or win, you start your next playthrough from scratch. Nothing carries over except perhaps any new ships you've been lucky enough to unlock. And yes, due to the highly random nature of the game, you will need luck. But that's not to say there isn't a lot of strategy required. There are many different approaches you can take, each with their own drawbacks. For example. relying on boarding parties gets you more scrap (the game's currency), but risks losing crew members. Is it for everybody? No way. This is what indie gaming is all about. A small team of developers made a game with a laser-like focus on a very specific vision, without worrying about appealing to the mass market. If that vision doesn't interest you, then move along. But if it is, then this will become one of your favorite games, period!
