Very good game! One warning: you start to play intending to spend 1h. You check the clock 5 minutes later and 5 hours have passed!
I call it a "Time Warp"

FTL is in the pantheon of great roguelites for sure. The ability to pause at any time is hugely valuable as later into runs it can become difficult to put out all of the fires (literally) that the game throws at you at a single time. It's also a VERY difficult game, and beating a single run will be a great accomplishment whenever it happens, which may not be everyone's cup of tea, so be warned.

Great

Game Belongs in the GOAT Debate

im too stupid to play this game but it's cool

It's a good game

Simply too difficult, especially for easy mode.
Unless your incredibly lucky or your a genius then you will not complete a run in a moderate amount of playtime. You would think easy should be doable within at least 3 runs(about the time it took me to "figure the game out") but I'm not too sure about it after trying so much. I don't enjoy the "Impossible Series" of games and this one fits the bill. Not to mention on easy mode, you will not unlock new ship layouts by getting to level 8. It's somewhat understandable but with the overall difficulty it made me wanna pull my hair out. Especially when I discovered neither of the ships I've done it with have the new layouts.

This game is extremely frustrating. It really is for the crowd "losing is fun" or people who are masochist. Personally, I don't feel RNG is the only thing screwing with you since if you get in a good enough spot (i.e. your ship has good upgrades) the game will then proceed to throw a battle that you can't win.

I understand if I lose due to my own incompetence but Imagine the enemy sending 4 to 7 boarders to your ship while you only have like 3 to 5 crews. On top of that, the enemy is attacking you with their own ship with missiles that bypass shields or with overwhelming number of weapons (3 to 4).

Normally, you would have to escape those battles but the enemy tends to target your engines/cockpit which prevents you from escaping. You die and all that time is wasted because of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I wish I could love this game but it's so hugely flawed. It's overly difficult and you'll lose your ship over and over again regardless of your decisions. If you like dying for no reason and having to start over again and again then perhaps this games for you.
