What is FTL: Faster Than Light?

FTL: Faster Than Light is an award-winning, critically acclaimed indie space simulation roguelike game developed and published by Subset Games in 2012. In FTL, the player controls a spacecraft and crew as they traverse a hostile galaxy while being pursued by a relentless rebel fleet. The goal is to reach the federation base and deliver vital information that could turn the tide of war, but the journey is perilous.

Gameplay involves management of the ship's systems including engines, weapons, shields and more while commanding the crew in order to keep the ship functioning. Resources need to be balanced, such as fuel, drone parts, and missiles. Random events and decisions will occur that can help or hinder progress. Combat requires wise decisions on what systems to target and when to evade. With each jump, the rebels close in making every choice important.

While progression carries over, each new game features randomized maps, enemies, and events providing nearly infinite replayability. Unlocking new ships and achievements will take many hours and losses. With several difficulty levels, FTL offers strategic depth in an accessible package wrapped in a classic space opera tone.
