About

Faster Than Light (FTL), a captivating space simulation game for PC, propels players into the captain's seat of their own starship on a perilous journey across the cosmos. Tasked with delivering crucial information to the Federation fleet while being pursued by a relentless rebel force, players must navigate uncharted sectors, make tough decisions, manage resources, and engage in strategic real-time battles. With randomly generated encounters, diverse ship customisation options, and a race against the clock, FTL offers a thrilling and ever-changing space odyssey that challenges players' wits and adaptability. The game's blend of strategy, tension, and exploration has cemented its status as a beloved indie classic, capturing the essence of space travel in a pixel-art masterpiece.

Rules

Platform: PC - Available on Steam (£6.99 UK/ $9.99)
Time: 5 hours

Rules: First things first, no advanced content. Basic content only, so make sure to disable advanced features on the ship selection page. You are also limited to the Kestral (A Layout) ship for all your runs, it is quite balanced as the default ship so don't fret. What I want you do to do is complete it on Easy, then Normal and then Hard in 5 hours, in that order!

Progress: Runs completed > Furthest Sector Completed > Time > Deaths

Notes

  • There is a fair amount of RnG in this game, while quests and the main core game stay the same, each sector will vary drastically, quest results and markers will also vary.
  • Yes you are timed, as per all Wheel runs, and yes this is a real time strategy based game, but there is a pause button in ship battles. Use it, it will help you. Trust me.
  • You might be lucky enough to unlock other ships on your runs, you are forbidden to use them. Seasoned players will know how to unlock these and some ships are broken.
  • Resources are important, fuel, rockets and drone parts. Don't ignore them.
  • There are 8 sectors to complete and then a final boss fight.
  • Your first run setup should look similar to this, sans achievement progress and crew names:
