On the POSITIVE side I love this game! In a world of countless repeated shooter titles (Call of Duty, Battlefield, ect) with no replay value at all. It is nice to see someone is making unique and different kinds of games. There is a learning curve that might catch you off guard, random encounters, lots of different ships and event. Oh yeah, and there is permadeath. One screw up and you are back at the beginning. But it is worth it in the end, in my steam library this is a polished gem. On the NEGATIVE side the difficulty could throw some new players off. Starting over from the beginning can feel overwhelming sometimes. Death is all a part of the game thou. You live, you die, and you learn. Better question, is there plans for a FTL 2?
This game is Dark Souls combined with Event Horizon. This game is far better polished than the trailer shows. The exploration is solid, the boss fights are excellent, and it all in all feels really good. The only down side is the lack of weapon sellection. However each weapon has three builds in it, which gives each playthrough a unique feel. The story is hard to understand but that is expected from a soulslike.
