FTL (Faster Than Light) is a small overhead 2D strategy game made by two guys in America. Raising over 2000% of their initial Kick-starter demo goal. After only hearing about the game from one of my tutors at college, I decided to try the game to see if it were as good as my tutor made out. I don't usually plat Strategy games like command and conquer or stuff like that and had no idea how to play at first. After about 10 minutes and the tutorial I was hooked on the game mechanics and general feel of the game. The graphics work extremely well and in just a few hours of gameplay you feel like Captain Kirk commanding your ship around the galaxy. You basically use your FTL Drive (engines) to jump Light years to different areas and come into contact with various ships whether rogue, neutral or friendly. I loved picking up different beings to join my team as having 8 guys running around your ship fixing things is humour in itself.
There are plenty of upgrades you can buy with the games currency, Scrap such as Drones, reactor upgrades that to allow you to use more power and hire more people to work for you when visiting the stores.The only way to unlock more ships is unfortunately to unlock achievements which I suppose isn't that bad but some of the achievements are shit hard to do! You can also customise your ship and crew a little by renaming them and changing the ship layout when its unlocked.
For you guys who reckon that this game looks pants, Play It You'll Be Surprised. It's a great game and well worth just under a tenner.
Yes the Image makes it look shocking but its Ace*
9 Out of 10 for me, Great game, unique and a lot of fun + it's friggin' addictive
