Interesting ideas, frustrating execution.



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.
Interesting ideas, frustrating execution.
A near-perfect loop. I lost a whole weekend to this.
Gorgeous, confident, and quietly brilliant.
One of the best I've played this year. Didn't want it to end.
