FTL: Faster Than Light

Manage a spaceship crew and systems through randomised encounters and real-time combat you can pause.

Our take

Choose it for tactical resource tradeoffs and branching runs.

Pausing, rerouting power and issuing crew orders make encounters deliberate.

Keep in mind: Permadeath ends a run; this capture describes the iPad edition and old device examples do not prove current support.
