FTL: Faster Than Light
In FTL you experience the atmosphere of running a spaceship trying to save the galaxy. It's a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields? Reroute all power to the engines in an attempt to escape, power up additional weapons to blow your enemy out of the sky, or take the fight to them with a boarding party? This "spaceship simulation roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat.

It's exciting, it's challenging, and it makes space action feel fresh. Its setting does of course get familiar fairly quickly, and it doesn't take long for encounters to start repeating, but hopefully there'll be plenty of extra content on the way to keep everyone on their toes.

The ten bucks it costs to get into Faster Than Light won't be money well spent for every gamer out there, but if you are looking for a challenging roguelike strategy game with some intriguing ship management and light RPG systems built into it, then you owe it to yourself to check out this game. It doesn't have the most amazing of visual presentations, but much of that is made up for with addictive gameplay and that "just one more game!" factor that will keep you playing late into the night, long after you should have gone to sleep.

Most playthroughs of FTL end the same way, but this pulse-poundingly vital, consistently surprising game manages to make death feel like merely the beginning of another great adventure.

Even on easy mode, FTL is another capital-D Difficult game and its random nature means even the most careful of explorers might find themselves unexpectedly asphyxiated.' More often than not though, you'll find yourself engaged in FTL's strongest department: combat, whether against antagonistic aliens, angry rebels or merciless pirates.
