Captains log, stardate 20XX. I've just entered the purple teir 2 system after attacking my 3rd unarmed civilian vessel to salvage their scap. Tensions are high among the crew...sexual tension that is. That rock monster is such a tease, she knows she wants all this.

This is the life of captain in FTL. If you ever wanted to live out your fantasy of captain kurt, sexual fantasies and all (minus the sexual fantasies) then this game is for you. It plays more like a real time board game then a traditional video game, and I have to say I rather enjoy it.

The game is a Roguelike game with heavy RNG, but allows for different experiences in every playthrough. Many options abound to customize your ship, and you swap between an overworld map, and a battle screen for in system fights.

The strength of this game are also its greatest weakness. Yes RNG allows for different and unexpected play experiences, but it's also unexpected that I missed my 4th missile in a row, and that the next merchant does not sell fuel. Frustration goes hand in hand with exploration in this, yet if you can look past that the game has a lot to offer.
