FTL : Faster than light

Post by Iron man »

Hello everyone i just bought this game there are 2 days ago for 10 dollards on steam. This game is called faster than light.

Have someone have heard or played this game before? :)

For a small resume about what ive played so far it will be a tactical, rpg simulation spacial game. Made with old graphic, single player with a very hard difficulty (one die finish).

The game is ramdom generate so every game is new with different situation and meeting....

For the small story your mission is to save the galaxy from the rebel(classiq). Your ship have to do around 5 or 6 stage before arrive to the boss ( to be honest i died everytimes before).

Note : + big life of the game random stuff....
+ graphic basic can work on any computer
+ cheap price for the game
+ music funny old style

- One life i mean you die you start a new game ( ship you unlock are saved no worries but its a permanent stress to lose) but its part of the game.
- So far haven't see any mp. Could be interesting fighting a players.
-Very very addictive.....

:cool:

For example in this case, your ship arrive in a asteroid area and under attack of a ennemy ship. So your ship get some domage by the asteroid, the ennemy ship fire on you and deployed his crew inside your ship to hack it !
You can also observ the level of oxigen is low inside 2 area of your ship result certainly of a old fire !:cool:

If you like rpg and sims and just games then I suggest you have a look at GOG.com. They have a load of older games (739 to date), modded to work on modern operating systems. Their games are classified as: Action - Adventure - Indie - Racing/Sport - Role Playing - Shooter - Sim - Strategy

For example FTL-Advanced Edition is $10 with free bonus content included:
12 avatars
wallpaper
soundtrack sample (5 tracks)
3 artworks

You can re-download as often as needed, but the game is yours, on your machine and doesn't need GOG links :)

One more example: Independence War Deluxe and Independence War - Edge of Chaos are both available for $6 apiece with manuals, artworks, HD wallpapers, avatars and a soundtrack running on XP, Vista and W7/W8!

They often have special offers - they have 19 Indie games at the moment for $2 - $4
