FTL: Faster Than Light

It’s an involved game with a lot of strategy and RNG. Not one of my picks to play if you’re looking for a good time in relation to the effort you put in. It’s mostly a lot of losing, trying again, then eventually just dropping it for next time.

The best strategy game on the iPad! 5/5

Great strategy gameplay where you can experience what it's like to be Capt. Kirk and Capt. Picard of Star Trek! This is truly a marvelous game. A classic!

I bought this game on steam years ago but stopped playing because it was inconvenient for me. Havent finished a single playthrough. When it was released in iOS, I immediately bought it. Was also unable to finish it. Fast forward this month, I decide to install it on my new ipad and Im glad the devs have updated it. Was finally able to finish a playthough (and then some). Its insanely difficult but rewarding! It also has infinite replayability and its just $10!

Really a great game and it really deserves respect to the people who made it considering it was only made by THREE PEOPLE!!! The game is so worth your attention

The fact that this game was made by a two man team (three men if we include the sound design) is almost unbelievable. Star command left a sour taste in my mouth with how shallow it was, this game is anything but shallow. I've bought tons of iOS games from big budget AAA to indie titles, but this game is worth more than most of the others combined. Must buy, no doubt about it.

FTL is a hard game with a lot of heavy decisions and strategy that can be very important for your survival. It's not a very forgiving game, and a lot of how long you survive has to do with how well you plan ahead to both mitigate existing problems as well as deal with potential future issues. Its amazing how much strategy is put into one game.

Somehow, I got the impression that this was a relatively casual space trading game with a minor battle function, not unlike ancient games like Taipan or Sid Meyers’s Pirates. That is not the case; it is primarily a space battle game. I think. Even doing the tutorial and checking out online walkthroughs, I couldn’t really figure out how to play. Which is totally on me, since I’m really looking for a casual fling, not a committed relationship involving a learning curve and research and so on. I’m sure the game is awesome and that I’m just not the target audience.

That’s it… most well balanced challenging game ever

This game is the best! You can play it without Wi-Fi which makes it the ONLY reason I ever use my old iPad Even my son loves the game. And he is a stinky boy who plays with his toy. And makes a lot of noise. Cuz he’s a stinky boy a stinky boy.
