what game is the most like this.

[Blondi]

ive tried a few, but many dont offer the same as FTL though, truly turn based, i can do it easily slow on my own pace.

there are many games that look similar to FTL, but are realtime, or dont offer the same depth.

are there any games you can recommend me that are almost exactly like FTL ? main important thing is the total turn based.

thnx in advance.

That's a tough one.

Bit of exploratory gameplay, pseudo-turn-based combat involving weapons management as well as crew location and energy management, CYOA-like events with added randomness, roguelike-like elements... that's a very specific combination. You'd have trouble finding a similar game based on combat system alone, add the rest and the game becomes pretty damn unique.

There was a game called Space Rogue which attempted to copy it but apparently wasn't very good. Also I hear Convoy is somewhat similar though not quite the same.

Haven't really been following game news or browsing games these past few years. There might be many of them I've never even heard about.

i own convoy, its a fun game, but gets boring quick. also imo theres no real depthi n that game other than placing vehicles differently. and its way more active, sadly.

the hting is, i love how yo ucan do ftl in a window, and just step away, even if its mid turn, not in special zones ofcourse, but still, it has a high walk away value lets say haha.

its hard ot get that in other games that i truly love. they usually are not trunbased and have the depth, or are turnbased and lack depth, sadly.

Have you tried Invisible Inc. It is turn based, you have agents that you move around. You have to do a lot of thinking and planning. It gets quite intense.

The levels are procedurally randomly generated and the items are randomly selected. It has an ironman mode.

ye i own factorio, and ive played it, i liek it, although it owuld be great to have some more life in the world ( its changable and i did it ofcourse) its a great game.

but... the problem is, i have a 20 + pound cat. he loves to lie infront of my keyboard and be my best friend. now....

thats fun and all, and i love that beast to death, its really hard for me to play games ( sometimes) that use the keyboard.

and for those situations its great to have a turnbased/realtime mixed game.

ive tried alot i must admit, alot of normal turnbased too, but liek i said earlyer, osmehow theyre not as interesting, or in depth mechanics wise as ftl.

so i was wondering that perhaps i must have missed some. :)

You could simply install a plank about 10cm under your desktop and put your keyboard there. Frees up the desktop, makes it more comfortable to type and prevents random dust and junk from falling into your keyboard.

A lot of desks come with one of these but it's easy enough to install one yourself.

what do yo utake me for ? a orc ? work work !! :)

nah im okay, but i was just clarifying some thigns and my motivation why i need afk-ish turn based games where i can walk away in a instant. like ftl, could be that there was a clone i didnt know about right ? :) or osme other options that other people enjoyed after playing this.

on the things in my keyboard yo udont wanna know what i got in my keyboard haha.

its a large colelction of ash cathairs, food residue, and sometimes the occasional softdrink or beer/booze drips.

haha, if to be shielded for that you owuld need like a blast shield haha.

For OP, maybe if you need "pause" games, then Baldurs gate will be it, or i recommend some 4x games like Warlock Master of Arcane is decent.

Oh right, Abandon Ship. I don't own this game and forgot that it existed, but yes, that game is a lot like FTL.

You have a ship, crew with different abilities, equipment, the combat is pseudo-turn-based, you can target different parts of the enemy ship, there is boarding, stronger enemies start attacking you if you spend too long in an area... someone took the FTL recipe and painted it over with a pirate/lovecraft theme.

ye i saw this before, but especially in the early days it got bad reviews, so i forgot about it too...

do you guys own the game ? it looks very interesting, but tbh im kinda put off by the low score.
