one of my favorite management games with rimworld, a hard game like old time, you will die and retry to become better to kill the admiral with many ship and layout and get achievement, a must have
If you hesitate because this is a roguelike, give it a chance. I agree with so many other reviewers: this game is great in that almost every death feels like something the player could have prevented. I almost always feel like I learned a new strategy (or learned which strategy is bad) when I die. Yes, there are some elements left to chance (I hope I get a weapon which matches my preferred strategy within the first sector), but failing that isn't a death sentence.
The fact that ship-specific achievements unlock new starting ships and loadouts for future attempts gives this game a feeling of progression. There are so many fun strategies to learn, even after you beat the game a number of times.
I got this game because I like the idea of space-themed games. For a 2D game, this really gets the imagination going--especially with the writing and interesting events scattered throughout. I heard there may be a fan-fiction novel in progress for this game, too!
I grabbed FTL when it was on sale and I'm happy I did.
It does have some frustrating limitations where I would have enjoyed more freedom, and it is a bit frustrating how little control the player has over their own upgrading (lots of stuff is random chance I think?) but otherwise it's just a really great little fun game. I played it so much, and it kept my attention for very very long and eventually I decided I was done with it. I guess it ran its course for me, and I'm done with it now. I'm very happy I had this experience, and I hope others have the experience too. 5/5. It is what it is, and it was pretty good.
This game can be stop and go or just go with the flow. It has it charme when it comes to strategy. in the beginning you look like a noob, but it quickly turnes you to a commander that will and can do almost anything for reaching your goal, to destroy the enemys mostership. going from one alaxy to the next. You gain experience while adding weapons and maybe some new crew members. Everyone should atleast try it out. it is worth your money and then some. :)
Small simple game. but fun to play. :D sadly they did not put it into a mobile game.
