Key Features: - Give orders to your crew, manage ship power distribution and choose weapon targets in the heat of battle. - Pause the game mid-combat to evaluate your strategy and give orders. - Upgrade your ship and unlock new ones with the help of seven diverse alien races. - Hundreds of text based encounters will force you to make tough decisions. - Each play-through will feature different enemies, events, and results to your decisions. No two play-throughs will be quite the same. - Permadeath means when you die, there's no coming back. The constant threat of defeat adds importance and tension to every action.

(SPOILERS: Not that it matters: the game is unfunny difficult even on easy) Over 200 hours playing across PC and iPad and I’ve only beaten the game once, on easy. Achievement data shows only 1 in 4 have ever beaten the game at all. I adore the concept, love the challenge, I’m fine with the permanent death, and I’m fine with fighting the final boss three times. My problem is that the final boss breaks the established rules of the game. Disable its cloak and it can cloak anyway, knock out its FTL drive and pilot the watch it light speed escape anyway. Kill every crew member and the AI takes control. My last straw was watching my crew of seven in an undamaged ship, with as many upgrades affordable with its limited power slots, completely drained of oxygen by the boss hacking drone and game over within 45 seconds. This is not a strategy game, it’s a gotcha RNG game with poorly designed features. I wonder if the devs can beat actually this game on normal mode. Even though I got my money’s worth, so they say, I cannot recommend this game.

It gets stuck on the initial loading screen. Restarted the app, restarted my iPad, same issue. Requested a refund, Apple won’t give me one. Complete waste of $9.99.

Auf einfachster Schwierigkeitsstufe bereits einfach unmöglich. Teilweise im ersten Kampf von Gegnern an Bord besiegt. Schlechte Mechaniken wie Ungenauigkeit, die es einem beinahe maximal aufgerüsteten Schiff unmöglich machen, einen Gegner mit 2 Schildpunkten auch nur einen Punkt Schaden zuzufügen, da einfach alle Geschosse verfehlen.

Even after playing this game so many years ago, and so many times, I am still finding joy in coming back to this game after so long. Yes, it can be frustrating at times, and does take getting used to, this is an amazing game. It is purchased once, and still playable after 7 years.

This is a great concept game whose fun is ruined by the lack of a save feature. The game designer DECIDED to make this an unsavable, arcade-concept game, and ruined it for a lot of people. I enjoy the game play, but the game demands hours of experimentation AND A LOT OF LUCK for each randomly-generated playthrough, and I ain’t got time for that. With a save feature: 5 stars, easily. As it is: 2 stars and a lot of frustration.

Could we have a game mode where we don’t have to run the fleet or a game mode where we can play against other people or perhaps a sandbox mode this game is perfect for more to be added in a sense of attack attacking planets attack attacking other ships more in detail maybe building your own creating your own shape of the ship great game thank you

Şöyleki oyunu 10 yıldır oynuyorum ve ilk başladığımda çok zorlanıyordum ve bu yüzden easy de 5 yıl içerisinde ustalaşabildim ama bence 1 yılda easy de ustalaşabilirsiniz yani zamanınız olması lazım çünkü oyun çok zor gidip de hard oynamaya çalışmayın derim 10 yılda sadece bir kere hard da gelebildim oyunun sonuna o da direk içimden geçtiler yani deneyebilirsiniz ancak deneyimli bi oyuncu olmanız lazım ha bu arada burdan sayın geliştirici subset game a PC den başladığım oyunları FTL gibi güzel oyunlarından dolayı saygılarımı ilettikten sonra, bir rehber hazırlayayım ki oyunda tableti kırmayın hehehe😁😆 FTL yeni başlayan rehberi: Kural 1 Kalkan 1 se ölürsün Kısacası ilk paranızla kalkana basın ki roketi yiyince ben gibi arkadan aydınlanma müziği girmesin. 😜 Kural 2 motorları ve kaptan dairesini yükselt Motorları ve kaptan dairesini yükseltmediğiniz zaman adamlar ın ıskalama ihtimali düşüyo ve her vurdukları tutuyo öyle olunca 3-4 rokete hem fiziksel hem psikolojik olarak bitiyorsunuz ve ekranda son bi patlama gemini parçalarına ayırdı yazısı çıkınca aydınlanma müziği çalıyo yine. Hehehe buraya kadar okuduysan adamsın ha bu arada Devamı yok çünkü üşendim. Hehehe

Для всех, кто не может пройти обучение из-за, выходящей за рамки экрана, кнопки «Продолжить», просто смените язык (точно поможет, если на английский). Потом можно вернуть обратно нужный.

Let’s start by saying this isn’t a game for the casual fans or gamers. This thing is complicated as heck and you’ll spend a lot of time learning its mechanics and what’s expected of you. Some of the game is based on skill and most on luck. But on other times the roll of the dice mechanics can just about destroy the experience sometimes. Those times you put it down and try later. What gets me is the randomness can sometimes hinder you from winning at all. You can get to the end and find you weren’t able to get everything and lose or another run find that you had everything to kick butt only to find you were destroyed near the end because you didn’t get the missile drone you were tryna find the whole dang time. However the randomness adds a dimension of depth and complexity not found in a lot of times. One time you’ll listen to someone’s story and get a crew member and other times they kill one of your crew members instead. Makes it genuinely rewarding and you feel guilty when you listen to the “lost crew members story” only to find one of your crew was killed by them. Good game otherwise. Just wish there was a way to not randomize store drops as much so you can actually have a chance to win more often than not. But that’s part of the games charm. Recommend looking up any random encounters that completely stump you because you’ll need it.
