In fact, because you spend one fuel point for every jump, it’s best to proceed as smoothly as possible. Oftentimes you’ll have multiple open areas, but you don’t need to visit every one. To get there, you need to select from open areas on the map, represented by beacons. At the far end of the map is an exit that you must use to leave your current sector and enter a new area. You’re presented with an overworld map of sorts. It constantly challenges you, but the more you play, the more you actually learn about how the game works. That said, FTL is never a breezy little game. After the first few play sessions, which are likely to take anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes, it all becomes second nature. You need to be constantly aware of the status of your ship and its crew, and at first this can be fairly daunting. FTL is special because it can be complex, but it's still very inviting. You take control of an exploratory ship, its crew, and its various offensive and defensive systems.
The crux of the gameplay relies on spaceship management. And after that first play session, it goes from being just a game to being a wonderfully addictive gem that will have you coming back for more and begging for mercy every time. No, FTL is one of those rare games that requires you to play it to really understand what it’s all about. Just looking at the game probably wouldn’t provide enough information for you to actually understand what it’s about and how it plays. Believe me when I tell you that it wasn’t the most demanding.ĭeveloped by a couple of dudes who call themselves Subset Games, FTL is one of the first notable Kickstarter successes. This is just one of the few scenarios that occurred to me during a playthrough of FTL: Faster Than Light. Then, as if things weren’t already bad, the room with your oxygen system catches fire because you’re too close to a sun-like star. You realize your aggressors have sent aliens to invade your ship and damage your weapons and shield systems. Still, you carry on and battle as hard as you can. Already your ship has received extensive damage from previous encounters with rebel groups and pirates. You power up your missiles and lasers and do battle. All of a sudden, you encounter a hostile extraterrestrial group. Imagine you’re on a spaceship with just enough fuel to get to your next destination.
