About FTL: Faster Than Light
Lead a desperate spaceship through a randomly generated galaxy, managing crew, power distribution, and tactical decisions in real-time combat where every choice matters. This roguelike spaceship simulator forces you to think on your feet with permadeath consequences, offering hundreds of unique encounters and strategic gameplay that plays out differently every time.
************************
The free expansion, FTL: Advanced Edition, is available now! Content additions include: new alien race, events, weapons, playable ships, drones, and more! Also adds additional musical tracks by Ben Prunty, and events by Tom Jubert and guest writer Chris Avellone.
If you already own FTL it should update the new content automatically. Advanced Edition is included free for anyone who purchases the game from this point forward.
************************
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? 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? This "spaceship simulation roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat.
Key Features:
- Complex Strategic Gameplay - Give orders to your crew, manage ship power distribution and choose weapon targets in the heat of battle.
- Play at Your Own Speed - Pause the game mid-combat to evaluate your strategy and give orders.
- Unique Lifeforms and Technology – Upgrade your ship and unlock new ones with the help of six diverse alien races.
- Be the Captain You Want - Hundreds of text based encounters will force you to make tough decisions.
- Randomized Galaxy - Each play-through will feature different enemies, events, and results to your decisions. No two play-throughs will be quite the same.
- No Second Chances! - Permadeath means when you die, there's no coming back. The constant threat of defeat adds importance and tension to every action.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players consistently praise FTL as an exceptional strategy game with deep resource management, engaging real-time crew mechanics, and outstanding replayability that keeps them coming back despite its age. The main critique centers on its brutal difficulty curve and the addictive nature of "just one more run" that can consume far more time than expected, though most seem to view this as a feature rather than a flaw.
Lovely attention to detail and interesting systems to manage. Easy to understand yet hard to master
to hard :(
I bought FTL during a promo. It has a lot going for it. I really enjoyed all the different ways to customize the ship, cruising from system to system and overcoming all the challenges along the way. It's got a lot of flavor. And I agree with other gamers it's a challenging game. To be honest I have not been able to beat the final boss yet, and I am not unlocking new ship types and lay outs because of that so a bit stuck there. I think (a) the game's depth, (b)deep customization and (c) the fact that player choices really matter are its strongest points. However, the final boss battle seems to push players towards adopting certain guarantee-to-win-strategies, which imo is a downside. So having a different build and even if your execution is flawless you will not be able to beat the final boss currently. Still I don't regret purchasing the game and will probably revisit it at some point.
Gr8.
10/10 game
My all-time favorite game, with a final boss that still is not easy after 100+ hrs. I refuse to look up how to have the "best builds". Yes I get more frustrated this way, but every victory is 100% mine. Play it and get lost in one of the best hidden gems of all time.
