FTL set the standard before most even knew there WAS a standard to be set and it's saved me hundreds in half-assed attempts since (the demos were enough to warn me off their attempts). We got to play the best of what was available WITH MOD SUPPORT and a free update/expansion long before many others had thought to even make something in the "new" genre (basically a re-hash of classic arcade games but with in-run progression, arcades would be making a killing if this sort of thing had been available back then). Good interface, epic chip-tunes, engaging gameplay, simple concept/story and a whole heap of neat options and mini-goals to do even for the non-competionists as play gave clear instructions on how to unlock most of the new ships/variants. Not many games manage that, Terraria, FTL, half-life, OG counterstrike, TFC/2 (back when it was a half life 1 mod we had mariocart levels, and a heap of other weird and wonderful community led things like chaollenge-maps for mobility training)

I'd describe FTL as... a run-based spaceship combat/exploration simulator, or something?

A beginner playing on easy difficulty is peak FTL. It eventually devolves into an expert playing on hard difficulty where the most eventful concern is "will I lose 1 or 2 hit points this sector?". You eventually reach the point where you go through entire sectors without taking damage and in many fights, even on hard difficulty, it's not even possible to take damage even if you walk away from your computer and leave the battle running.

the flagship makes the game completely different from all previous fights, I found myself spending most of the mid-game preparing countermeasures to deal with it after my first few runs. Targeting a main weapons system like you do with most ships doesn't work since they're so spread out, meaning you need to prioritize whatever gives you the most issues. I find the missile system to be a safe bet most of the time since I usually roll up to the flagship with maxed shields and decent evasion to survive the barrage of ions and lasers, though with good cloaking you might have other priorities. Definitely make disabling whatever special room the ship has -- drones, teleporter or cloaking -- a top priority early on even if it means you eat some missiles and hope like hell it doesn't wreck your weapons bay. As long as you have enough sustained fire to keep the shields, missiles and the gimmick room all damaged at once you should be fine. The best defense is a good offense, you're screwed the moment it starts its full barrage

There are definitely optimal builds that make the game easy, but veterans can equally beat the game with meme builds.

I think that's partially true. I did get all of the achievements, but I think certain builds absolutely felt, if not "mandatory," then far and away more fun for completing the game with, especially on the final levels (namely being able to bypass shields and quickly trap and defeat enemy crew members without having to depend on lasers and traditional firepower, let alone finite missile stockpiles).

I just never buy enough engine energy hahaha So when they cut mine in half in events I pretend it’s the games fault

I have to agree, FTL is one of the greatest games ever made. In fact, I would call it the best rogue-like of all time, if it wasn't for Into the Breach; a game made by the same studio that I like more lol.

Music in FTL is amazing

[@HD2OTR]

There are many awesome roguelike games out there, since you a big FTL fan, why not check out Crying Suns?! Promise you will have a blast!!

If you want a spiritual successor for this game, "Void War" is probably the closest thing you will ever get.
