Reviews of FTL

  • One of the best iPad games ever made

    Hard. Infinitely replay-able. Filled with quirks, humor, and depth that take the generative style to an entirely new level. This game is famous because it’s good, and it’s famous because it’s fun.

    Highest recommendation. If you like puzzles, if you like spaceships, if you like Star Wars, if you like Into The Breach (same team) or Hades or any other infinite generative replay game, you must play this. I’d buy it for you if I could.
  • Easier to learn, hard to master

    I bought this game when I was a kid, having saved up some money from lawn mowing. I recently noticed it was on the app store and decided to pick it up. It is the perfect game to play in between classes or when taking a break from work.

    Don’t be fooled however. This game can be relaxing but it is far from easy. Once you start to unlock other ships you realize there are so many different play styles. You will have to learn the ins and outs if you want to come close to beating the final boss.

    My tips:
    - Make getting a second shield your first priority
    - Don’t rely too much on missiles, use them to take out key systems before finishing them off with other weapons
    - Target the enemy’s weapons first. Take out their shields if you cannot get through them, target their pilot if they keep dodging
    - Manage your power well! Do not keep your medbay powered unless you need to heal, and you can de-power your oxygen if you need a quick boost
    - Shields and engine are priority upgrades. If you have the extra scrap, level up doors, oxygen, and pilot so you have a damage buffer
    - Your main objective is to avoid damage. Scraps you spend on repair could have been better spent on upgrades

    One of my favorite games from my childhood. Still holds up, and there is nothing like the feeling you get when you finally beat if for the first time.
  • Re-doing this thing. Still love this game!💙 Still awesome!

    All right. I’m redoing this review. I love this game. I used to complain that you could not get mods on mobile, but then I found out you could. We could not find the exact way, but we found out that you could. If you could share the way, that would be great. For now, I’m just using mods on the computer. But it’s kind of frustrating to get the mouse out, clear room on the table, and then load the game.

    I think the crystal cruiser is awesome! Love the crystal weapons. 💚💎💜
