[Sep 14, 2012, 8:34 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

FTL: Faster Than Light is now available from Steam, where this space combat strategy game is being offered for 10% off over the next week. Word is:

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.

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.

Went to the final fight, finally, on Easy, though. The game must have lasted over an hour, and nothing could touch me.

Except that final fight, which washed the floor with me. Unfortunately I'd lost 2 crewmembers in an O2 leak due to a boarding mantis squad, and went into the final battle with just 3 crewmembers, but a maxed out ship. 4 weapons, 2 drones, 4 shields, the original pilot and gunner, etc.

Fun. Lots of fun. Going to be hard to top that one.
Unfortunately Borderlands 2 comes out, and I just got into the Hawken Alpha, so way too little time...
