FTL: Advanced Edition is a spaceship simulation roguelike where you command a starship and its crew on a desperate mission across a randomly generated galaxy. You manage resources like fuel, missiles, and drone parts while making real-time tactical decisions during combat. You can pause the action at any time to issue orders, upgrade your ship’s systems, and respond to threats from alien encounters and the relentless Rebel fleet pursuing you. Every playthrough presents new sectors, events, ship layouts, and crew combinations, ensuring varied challenges and emergent stories. Success depends on adapting your strategy to randomized scenarios and permanent consequences for crew and ship losses.

Did you ever want to reroute power to the shields, set phasers to stun, or even eject the warp core? Well, now you can! 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.

FTL’s complex strategic gameplay allows you to give orders to your crew, manage ship power distribution, and choose weapon targets in the heat of battle. You will encounter unique alien lifeforms and technology. You can 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. In the randomized galaxy each play-through will feature different enemies, events, and results to your decisions. Each time you play another challenging session of FTL: Faster Than Light, it won’t be quite the same.

  • Unlimited adventures in the vast depths of unpredictable space.
  • A new randomized galaxy to explore each time you start a new game.
  • Quick play sessions (from 5 to about 90 minutes) will allow you to add that spaceship commander feeling to any of your days.
