FTL: Faster Than Light

Command and Manage BattleShip

This is a game that has less to do with the provision of the Weapons Station, and more with the command, make tough decisions, and inspect the damage to the locking system and limit its action to a 2D map of your boat and those of their opponents. It is a rogue like in the liver, and hassle-establish the use of gender celebrate the basement at random in a science fiction setting. The animation can be limited to the explosion and the actions of his small crew and electronic synthesizer music fills expected departure 80 years, but some title command ship never felt so cool. Faster Than Light remains modest. Your ship is a Federation ship that carries important data and only mission is to outrun and outmaneuver the rebel fleet is always trying to hurt you. Unfortunately, that focuses on simplicity also makes the Galaxy is a boring place, because the same background fields of asteroids, planetary nebulae or resident pop behind his map vessel of your progress. However, it is a dangerous journey, especially since it focused on travel faster than light "jump" to encourage other nodes in the galaxy with little understanding of what to expect. Sometimes you may find yourself in the asteroid field, and worse, sometimes you may have to skip to the ion storm that shut down the power supply reactor at you while you wait for a jump drive to reload. This jump also produce what little narrative FTL has, as based on text pop-ups force you to take a risky decision, because it helps the space station besieged by the opportunity to loot or safely run your system intact. And, of course, you'll have plenty of fighting with the rebels. This real-time combat ship-to-ship is the heart faster than the gameplay of light, and in its best moments, accumulating stress forcing you to make decisions in a split second at every opportunity.

Thrilling combat and strategic depth 



FTL is a dream come true micromanager, 2D projection room and make your own ship maintenance of ships while juggling other refreshing fighting intuitive. Enemies have the same system to the target, and it is your job to destroy them while protecting their own. It's hard at first, especially since you only have a crew of three men for four mannable stations scattered throughout the ship, and the ship itself begins with what appears to be the weakest weapon and protecting the Federation could put aside for this mission must be important. It is also frustrating at times, due to the random nature of FTL means a trip otherwise uneventful can be moved in the tragic chaos in seconds, even on easy mode.

Must Play This Game


The reason you need to play Faster than light because it is a very rewarding experience for just $ 10.00, and while play-throughs theoretical hours in two hours or more, the difficulty is that it can spend five hours or more with him before finally beat it. It may look and sound like a game since last year, but shows that the rogue-like genre still has much to offer almost 30 years after its first appearance. Location FTL lacks a bit of variety and randomness of the game as a whole can be frustrating, but mostly to compensate for this deficiency through intense combat and a deep intuitive and micromanagement options.
