FTL: Rougelike Space Adventure





FTL: Faster Than Light is a real time strategy game developed by Subset Games. You will control a crew of a single spacecraft, that has to deliver a fatal information to an allied fleet which is several sectors away. You will have to travel through the galaxy, explore the unknown area, while being pursued by the rebel fleet.




During the journey, You will have to face events or critical decisions that are text base, there will be events like: you've encounter a small civilian that is out of fuel, you need to decide whether to give them fuel or wish them luck. You may also encounter pirate, if you win the fight, they may offer some supplies. But if you die, games over, you will have to restart the game.




At first, I didn't think that I will enjoy the game, because spacecraft is not my thing, but I end up pretty enjoy it. The gameplay is simple, you don’t really get to drive the spaceship, but you will have to assign your crew to repair stuff or extinguish the fire, but the main point is to make decision, which is depends on your judgments, preparedness, and your luck. I haven’t beat the game yet, but because this game is totally random, and you have to start over if you dies, it makes it even harder to beat it.
