FTL: Faster Than Light Reviews

I forgot how much of a masterpiece this is. Do yourself a favor and give it a go. I played this lots many years ago, and no I reinstalled and am having a blast. Also there is a huge mod called multiverse that I haven't even gotten into, they say it makes this into a spiritual successor. Play some FTL

FTL is one of those games you can keep coming back to without it feeling stale. It’s all about tough choices, brutal encounters, and making the best of whatever the game throws at you. The replayability is off the charts—every run’s different, with new events, ship setups, and strategies to try. The pixel-art vibe and soundtrack hit just right, setting the mood for all the chaos. It’s a classic. Plain and simple.

The random generated maps add to the replayability of the game. Unfortunatly, I have yet to beat it, but I have hope. Just wish I could more readily sell the missiles and drone parts at shops and not have to hope I come across someone who needs said parts.

Can't say it is hard so much as it feels too random to be fun, at least for me. I'll get in and get killed off the moment I take my first step or get killed off right when the game is about to get good. Something as simple as intruders really ruin the game and are a death sentence depending where you are in it. Wanted to really like it and it does have an addictive quality to it but by the end of the day, I start hating the game more than I enjoy it. There's stuff I want to try but simply can't because I don't get far enough to invest in my ship or you might just reach that goal only for a group of intruders to randomly appear and wipe you out, which is where most of the frustration comes from, the game ruining the fun you're on the verge of having.

Honestly, I love this game. It has many different ways of playing with each ship, tons of replayability, and a whole lot of RNG. Every time you play everything will be slightly different, or wildly different than the last time you had played it, or you might take a break for a month and then forget all the events. It's just so good with it's vast amount of content, and definitely a must buy for any gamer. 10/10 highly recommend.

The first game I fell in love with as a kid. have played only vanilla but I still have not gotten tired of it. Highly recommend! (Also the soundtrack is amazing!)

Caught onto how it works pretty quick. I'm struggling on normal difficulty, of which is a bit frustrating, but in a good way. Would recommend to those who maybe have a darkest dungeon itch, kinda, sorta...ish. Start on easy imo. Feels like the devs messed up and should have labelled "easy as normal", "normal as hard" and "hard as very hard".

This game is brutal—it doesn't seem that way at first glance, but it really is. Even the easy mode is challenging. in higher sectores you can screw your run just from few unoptimized decisions. But it definitely satisfies my craving for space combat , with power destribusion decisions, shields and laser blasts . WIsh the events outcomes wouldnt be hidden , i want to chose my risk-reward outcome, not to guess it (or wiki it ) .

There is a lot of RNG to this game, but that doesn't mean that your skill and game knowledge are worthless. It's a rogue-like after all. Addicting classic.

I remembered I have this game. I like this game! It's been a while since I played. I reinstalled with the Multiverse mod, not bad! Fresh races, new weapons, big ships - It's awesome! Then a two hour run goes up in smoke due to ambient ABS as my ship fails to putter up it's FTL drive fast enough. FTL is a fantastic game for short bursts - But like most permadeath games - You're gonna be moving on to something else rather quickly if it isn't something you're specifically aching for.
