It's a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions.
What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields? Reroute all power to the engines in an attempt to escape, power up additional weapons to blow your enemy out of the sky, or take the fight to them with a boarding party? Your starship is outgunned and on the run from a fleet of rebel forces; can you make it home alive?
A space-combat experience of remarkable depth, FTL's elegant, interlocking gameplay systems generate moments of remarkable tension and reward. As your vessel leapfrogs between galaxies, you’ll manage a crew, extinguish engine-room fires, target enemy shield generators with energy weapons, and equip powerful upgrades so you can plunge deeper into the uncharted cosmos. It’s a constant cycle of surprise and excitement, augmented by the game’s stylish presentation and irresistible charm. Ryanator2011, Fun but frustratingly difficultThis is an excellent spaceship sim but too much relies on luck not skill. While randomness is part of its charm, all it takes is a a couple of bad events to seriously hinder your game, even if you're doing well. Make a bad roll on an encounter and a crew member could die or your hull takes several hits of damage. Couple unlucky missile hits and your oxygen is now seriously running low or a couple rooms are on fire.
Having skill can help you somewhat in anticipating these events and prepare accordingly but there's only so much you can do with the resources available. Took me about a week before I could finally beat all three stages of the boss on easy. Another weakness is that for the entire game you have to gear according to what you need on the final encounter.

What might be working for you now won't necessarily allow you to win the game. After I beat this boss and after several more failed attempts in other ships, I've no longer have much motivation to play and put all with all this frustration. Easy mode should be that easy. I think the only difference in modes is how.
I have resources you get each encounter. I'd really hate to put up with this game on harder levels. No longer fun for me and I'm quitting. Flea Hunter, I’m leaning towards “Meh”.I only have a couple hours on this game but it’s already starting to grate on me. As others have said, it’s mostly about luck.
The graphics look good. The premise is decent and I like the layout and interface. The tutorial is helpful enough.
What this game really needs is a save feature since all it takes is one bad encounter and your work goes up in flames, with starting from scratch (or deleting the thing) as your only option. Most games I make it a few turns before I’m done. Some have gone bad on the first stop.
A couple were actually starting to look hopeful with added weapons, extra crew, and buffed equipment, but again one bad run in and “poof”, gone. It’s pretty frustrating to get boarded and watch helplessly as your systems and 6 person crew are decimated room by room with absolutely nothing you can do about it.With the gameplay of this thing starting to look like all stick, no carrot, and lottery odds to beat a level, I suspect my interest here will be short lived. That’s not being a “wuss”. Some people just prefer games that require actual eye/hand coordination and real problem solving skills over something that caters to mindless tenacity.
In FTL you experience the atmosphere of running a spaceship trying to save the galaxy. It’s a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields?
