The original FTL is almost 14 years old, at the same time it never gets old. I enjoyed the original game for many hours, its core gameplay loop is fantastic and the game's difficulty (I play on normal or easy) is in the sweet spot to pose a challenge while it keeps the game being a fun and relaxing experience. And don't forget the music, it fits perfectly. My recommendation: Get the game, it's a blast! Nothing more to say here. That's it, as simple as that. No wait, there's one more thing. It's called "Multiverse". Technically you could call it a mod for FTL, but that wouldn't give the mod anywhere near enough credit. It is an incredible piece of work that extends the original game with an absolutely massive amount of additional content. Overwhelming in a positive way, guns galore! It adds tons of new player ships to unlock, an arsenal of new weapons, some of them quite special. It adds new races, new quests, new bosses, tons of secrets, options to further enhance your ship (and crew!) and much more. But it does not feel like someone tried to set a new world record by packing the most brain-dead features into a mod for the sake of quantity. They did it carefully with a lot of respect to the orginial mood of the game. It tastes the same as the original and integrates seamlessly into it. The writing, the jokes, the lore - everything is in the same spirit as the vanilla experience, just more and better. In every run there is stuff to unlock, paths too choose, opportunities and risks to take. Due to the heavily expanded content, the individual runs differ much more than before. As much as I loved the original, after getting used to the Multiverse mod, I would never switch back to vanilla. FTL with Multiverse is what I would call the best game I've ever played.
In the thirteen years I've been playing FTL I've come to realise that this is one of the best and most tightly designed games I've ever played. I'm so sad that the developers did not create any more content beyond Advanced Edition because, in spite of there already being so much content to sink your teeth into for the ten dollar price tag, it has left me wanting so much more. I recommend this game to everyone and it has made me a staunch fan of Subset Games. Please work on more things so I can buy them
The closest you'll see a game be a flawless masterpiece of its genre. The premise is simple, the mechanics are easy to understand yet allow for tons of nuance. There is a learning curve, and this is a game that will humble you unless you respect that most things the player can do, it can do at you right back. Some ships will be hideously mean with their weapon specs. There will be ships that seem to dodge at impossible rates. All of them are a puzzle for you to solve with tools you yourself will have to find and assemble, and understand when it is appropriate to do so. In my first few hours I couldn't believe my eyes at how I was dominated and nuked from orbit by RNG. After a few hundred, I understood RNG isn't what caused most of my woes. After a thousand, I understand that finding situations that are unwinnable are incredibly rare in this game. So, pause often. And enjoy this game with a small vice. Be that eating, vaping, whatever. Kick up your feet and just have some fun in a game where time can stand still forever frame by frame if you're quick enough, while you analyze the situation. It's been my go-to game for relaxation and decompressing from busy or terrible days. I hope it may be for any of you as well. It'll run on any PC made after the stone age, and it's cheap. I'd even recommend getting a fully DRM free copy of it from gog or something so you can put it on whatever device you want without needing to sign in anywhere. I've lost track of how many runs I've won and lost but I know I'll be back to this game forever and ever.
