    Video Review - FTL: Advanced Edition

    FTL is a sci-fi themed Rogue-like which tasks the player with traversing randomized sectors of space in mission to defeat an enemy flagship. In the grand tradition of rogue-likes, this game can be punishing, with players often ending a run with nothing to show for it. While the main objective in the game is to beat the boss, a lot of the fun comes from unlocking new ships and layouts. The Advanced Edition makes this easier by offering more ways to get these unlocks. For more, check out the Video Review.

You have the highs of blasting an automated ship to dust ...

FTL manages to be cruel, but satisfying enough to keep you playing and pushing towards that last stand. After 39 hours of playtime, I finally logged my first victory, and it gave me that rush that I hadn't felt since Luigi's Mansion. Buy it....
