Why there is no FTL 2 ?

[Sp3ctA]

For years i'm looking for a similar game, but FTL is the best one.
Please make another FTL

The devs just aren't interested in retreading the same ground again.

Highly respectable reason, I'd say, though I do get your frustration. It really is baffling how few tries there's been at 'FTL-likes' give what a stonking great success the original was by indie standards.

There's a new roguelike game in Early Access that clearly draws heavily from FTL, but with more modern graphics. It's getting good early reviews. Not sure if I'm allowed to link to it here, but it shouldn't be hard to find in the Steam Store. Might scratch that itch.

Otherwise, Into the Breach by the FTL devs is a fantastic follow-up. Different sort of game, of course, but there's a lot of shared DNA.

Search these forums for "similar" games.

Its not a space ship simulator but Death Road to Canada and Organ Trail both carry a lot of the FTL "road trip to hell" feel.

There a lot of great mods for FTL though, which do add up to the game greatly and either enhance what we already had or expand to what most of us wanted (or both for that matter)

I do understand it's not the same as getting an actual sequel, but it does soothe the sorrow of not having one

I believe the game he's referencing is called "Trigon: Space Story". I just watched a review of it today from Worth A Buy on YouTube. It honestly looks extremely similar but with modern graphics. Nice looking game, early access though and I don't believe you can even play it yet.

Thanks, Trigon looks beautifull !

Death Skid Marks is kinda sorta similar. Really fun game.

Also like someone else mentioned, mods like Captains Edition(FTL 2.5) and Multiverse(overhaul) are worth checking out.

Multiverse just stomps on CE, kicks it out the window, yells at it how much better MV is, then leaves it on the pavement

MV is just that good! It can do new things! Like add new species, which allows for CREW VARIANTS!

yes i like mv a lot

I disagree about the "shared DNA" part.
Into The Breach is not at all like FTL and both games have basically nothing in common.
Personally I didn't like Into The Breach nearly as much.
If you like puzzle games, yeah, go for it.
Otherwise you'll be disapointed.

Into the Breach might be made by the same devs, but is in no way similar beyond comparing apples to oranges. They are both fruit, but very different in taste and application.

Crying Suns is excellent, but has its own flaws. The gameplay is VERY similar to FTL but more 'overhead' as of managing your troops and crew (and fleet) in a broader sense, rather than direct crew battles or some ♥♥♥♥ mistaking a generator for a water cooler.

As previous posts say, the "DNA" of the games are all there. Into the Breach, FTL, Crying Suns, Trigon, even Risk of Rain. They share similar elements.

But each has its own that makes it different.

If you want a game similar to FTL, I would go for Crying Suns. But no game is perfect. It has its problems. It isnt perfect. Whether you look at narrative or gameplay or balance or anything inbetween. But I found it an excellent in-between similar title.

I played crying sun I found the game also.
I like it, but I need this FTL feeling I had ! Maybe I will never find it again

Does Tachyons count?
It's basically an alpha version of FTL but the crew is run by players and is hosted via servers.
