    This game is superb, I'm still coming back to it.

    This is a close as you can get to commanding your own star-ship. I have gone through phases of playing FTL heavily and then leaving it for a time only to become obsessed again without realizing it's even happening. The fact that it's one of the first big Kickstarter success stories adds some charm too I feel.

    I know Roguelikes are a genre all of there own, I don't really know too much about that but I know this is apparently a good example of the genre and I can't say enough good things about it.

    YOU ARE DESTINED TO FAIL! But you'll jump straight back in ready to try again.

    GOOD LUCK, CAP'N.

      A Thrilling Space Combat Game That’s Both Addictive and Incredibly Fun. 0

      FTL(Mac) by franticrain on January 01, 2014

      FTL: Faster Than Light is an incredible game, born out of one of the first successful video game Kickstarters. You control your crewmembers as you attempt to take a message to the rebel fleet awaiting you on the other side of the galaxy. The federation’s ships hound you, nipping at your heels, often just a small jump away from where you are currently situated. The meat and potatoes of this game is it’s simplistic movement and deep combat. Once your FTL drive is charged, you can jump no another ...
