There are hundreds of ways to die in this game. Or set your engine systems on fire and wait for the structural damage to take its toll. Sometimes they'll take out your oxygen systems so your entire crew suffocates.
Everything is out to get you and sometimes it doesn't even have the decency of killing out outright. Randomly generated meteor showers, scanner scrambling nebulae, and fire starting solar flares can pop up anywhere. That's without pirates or rebels gunning for you across the galaxy. Much like any technical piece of equipment in the real world, there are a million things that can go wrong at any given time. Then you have the dice rolls of your laser and missile shots deciding whether or not they hit their target.Īnd then there's your fragile ship and your equally fragile crew. That's on top of finite resources in the form of fuel, ammo, and scrap (money) which are critical to making it two steps out of the starting area. You can stop and fight them if you want, but infinite re-enforcements mean you'll crumble eventually. The narrative conceit of the game places a time limit as a huge enemy armada is always right behind you ready to scoop up your motley ship and blow it to pieces at the first opportunity. Randomized anything is a dicey proposition to be sure, but this game sure likes to pile it on in savage, savage ways. Unlike the majority of video games, where scenarios and computer AI is made with the sole purpose to be overcome by player eventually, FTL is a gambling den with some of the worst house rules I've ever seen. Sometimes I feel like Faster Than Light is a game designed so no one can win. Recently Played: FTL (Faster Than the Speed of Death: The Game) What a bunch of Space Bullshit! It's not like there's a awesome cut scene or quirky song to reward you at the end. And I totally did beat the game (on EASY MODE) when I cheated, so I feel my experience is tainted in that regard. I got angry enough where I turned to the internet to find modified files to break FTL's stupid face so I could finally beat the damn game. And fucking final bosses equipped with every single weapon system in the game blowing you up with one salvo and then cloaking just to rub it in your face. There are a lot of awesome stuff centering around spaceship management with main systems and moving your crew around, and then there's total space bullshit with fucking mantis men and solar flares. It has found a very Dark Souls spot in my mind where sometimes it does really awesome things and other times it's punching you in the kidney and it doesn't even care. I go back and forth every time I boot up the game.
FTL FASTER THAN LIGHT REBEL FIGHTER PIRATE FULL
Full disclosure, I don't know what to think of FTL.
