Faster Than Light Is a game that keeps getting recommended to me by various people. I wanted to try it for a while, so I was excited when it was given for free on Epic Store. I wanted to try it sooner, but I kept procrastinating for some reason.
^ Typical game view! ^
Now, I finally tried the game. Well, I just played the tutorial so I can't give a fair comment yet, but while FTL was as complex as I expected, the experience wasn't as I thought will be.
I saw screenshots from the game often, but from these screenshots I thought that the space ship and the rooms inside it were shown in a customization screen between the main parts of the gameplay. Turns out that they were actually the main part of the game!

In FTL you have to manage a ship and its crew while traveling along th galaxy to warn the federation fleet of the upcoming .
One notable moment I found funny as I played, was once the flame started in one of my spaceship rooms. The tutorial box told me to open the engine room's windows to drain the oxygen and stop the fire. I understood it as "bring the ships crew to the room to stop the fire." I got confused when it didn't work.
It turned out I had to click on the window and it'll open on its own. But, I did so when my crew members were in the same room and they died by the lack of oxygen. Oops!
The surviving crew member.
Wish I took a screenshot of them burning!
Luckily, I managed to beat the tutorial with the one remaining crew member. I thought "Did the developers foresee that some people will kill their crew members by mistake?"
I decided to place FTL higher in my backlog. I will have to finish Final Fantasy IX (which I wrote about here.) I'll write more about FTL when I get to seriously play it. I hope you enjoyed this post.
I LOVE this game.
Thanks for replying this old post. The game has endless potential~
Uh... let me put it like this: I think it's not a bug, it's a feature.
I have played FTL once, didn't find it to be very good. Maybe I just had not enough catastrophies, because I reached the goal.
Haha! I only got to it because it was recommended by me a lot. From what I tell the game feature a lot of randomness so maybe you got lucky?
Thanks for using eSteem!
