If you enjoy failing, FTL is for you

If I had more time and patience to learn optimal actions required for success, and build the requisite in-game knowledge to handle unforeseen scenarios, then perhaps I would enjoy this game. Unfortunately, at this stage in my life, I have neither. Maybe I could have started with "Let's Play" videos, but I'm not keen on engaging in a game that requires extensive meta-knowledge without the benefit of save-scumming. I would rather reserve my time for games that are not punishingly difficult and require constant failure for the fleeting chance of success. If you appreciate being reminded constantly of how little you know, or enjoy failing because you haven't failed enough to learn how to respond properly, then FTL might be your jam. That's not how I like my games, though I can grant others may appreciate that.

Overated

While there is some (suposed) interesting mechanics, the gameplay become very dull fast. I only had fun for 1hour, then it felt empty.

Solid core, but on e big issue

I would love to see a version of this game that does not rely on random events that are so punishing. Managing a ship and crew and combat etc is VERY well done, but the difficulty is insane. I eventually gave up and used cheats. Unlimited money, I had a fully upgraded ship and unlimited ammo, still couldn't beat the final boss. Shame, it was a good idea, poor execution.

RNG, time wasting and grinding

A neat concept, but a bad experience. On paper you need to manage a ship, its crew and upgrades in order to defeat other ship and over come the boss at the end. You have different crew species, different weaponry and different gear you can equip your ship with that will allow you to approach the game differently. You also need to manage resources, as different parts of this ship need power and some weaponry require resources. Sounds quite solid, but undermined primarily by three things. RNG. It really is random for the most part. If you are not lucky, then you are not lucky and thats it. The game doesnt offer you enough mechanisms to combat the deck being stacked against you. A bad event, wrong enemy appearing, not enough or too many shops, not enough resources, etc. Time wasting. Weapons take a while to charge up and fire, most of the time all you can do is wait for the guns to be combat ready and try to knock out the enemies shield and weapons systems. You micro manage attrition you suffer in the meantime, but its still a needlesly prolonged fight for no reason. Grinding. Im somewhat skeptical about this one as you dont really unlock upgrades, per se. You unlock new ship compositions. Different starting weapons, starting crews, starting layouts. Im not sure how much this will contribute to you success. The game does have different items you can emply, so Im sure you can develop some strategies for certain runs. But that will require you to go through tons of trial and error until you can see if there really is more to it. Within 10 hours you will probably see almost all the events and items this game has to offer. But then you will have to spend many more trying to "master" them for the most efficient run. Bottom line, unless you like being kicked in the balls repeatedly until you get lucky enough and are well versed enough in the game to be able to tackle it, there are more enjoyable ways of spending your time.

Awesome spaceship simulation

I played this game since it was beta. It's awesome! This is a kind of spaceship simulation I ever wanted to play. If you like rouge-like games and micromanagement you should try it :)
