The Oxygen system can be upgraded that allows more oxygen to fill up the ship faster. Rooms low in oxygen become pink and crew members get oxygen deprivation. When your oxygen system gets damaged or destroyed, repair it immediately! The oxygen will rapidly drop inside the ship. I list this first because without it, all your crew dies, and it is game over. There is more than enough.įTL seems overwhelming at first but, soon, the player will wish there were MORE things he or she could do. There are cruisers, Mantis ships, Rockman ships, and the Crystal ship. This ship excels at using drones as its primary weapons and defensive capabilities. Good for anti-bio and killing crew.Ībove: The Engri ship resembles the Borg cube. I love this.Ībove: The Man of War is the ship of slugs. Why is it colored in rebel colors? Is it camouflage? The game does not say but allows your mind to wonder. For the rest of the list, only one type will be shown.Ībove: Kestrel B. It is best used as a warship with powerful laser guns.Įach ship in FTL has two types (Kestrel A and Kestrel B are two separate types of ships). The Kestral is what everyone starts off with. Each one presents a different way to play the game. How often does this soundtrack match the game you’re playing? While FTL’s music is very nice, I sometimes to prefer something of a little stronger flavor. The music of FTL is very distinct and gives the game personality.Ībove: One of the several battle themes. There is a tutorial mode that is useful and gets people up to speed fast.

Even when people have unlocked everything and beaten the game, they still play it because this starship simulator gameplay hasn’t been done anywhere else. The multiple ships, random events, and random galaxies give the game a fantastic replayibility. Once you arrive at the end, you are given a new task to destroy the Rebel Flagship as it slowly approaches the homeworld.įTL is a game that doesn’t take long to pick up. The Rebel fleet is chasing you and will conquer all systems. You are the starship captain that has vital information for the Federation. You may save your game to come back to later, but death is permanent. What that means is that there are no continues. What upgrades do you spend money on for your ship? The long term strategy decisions determine your endgame. You choose what weapons and equipment to buy or sell. You select which star you wish to warp to next. The second is the strategic starship gameplay. Doors can be opened to suck out oxygen to slow down intruders or remove fires. Crew members can be moved around to fix damaged parts of the ship, stop intruders, or even teleport onto the enemy vessel to take out their crew. You tell which weapons to shoot and what parts of the enemy ship they should hit. It is real time but orders can be given while the game is paused. The first is the tactical starship gameplay. There are two forms of gameplay intertwined. I would check before purchasing.įTL: Faster Than Light is a starship simulator. For Macs, I do not know what the minimum system requirements are. This game will not perform well on slower processors such as less than 2 Ghz. The game may look simplistic, but it is heavily taxing the processor in the game. Hotkeys of weapons and crew members are also used through the keyboard. A damn shame.įTL primarily uses the mouse, but the keyboard is used for the spacebar which pauses the game. Linux version is native and requires no tweaking. This game runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. GOG Edition includes some extras but lacks Linux The dynamic music in the game is good, but it functions more as immersive atmosphere.įrom Developer’s Website (Windows, Mac, Linux) FTL is a Modern Classic.Ībove: Fantastic atmosphere. If you enjoy science fiction shows like Star Trek, you must buy this game immediately. The replay value is off the charts with multiple ships, random events, and random galaxies. VERDICT: Fresh gameplay that I don’t believe has been done before or as well.
