The next freebie is here.

This time it is: FTL: Faster than light

Link is active from 3am on 27 December.

Steam page (for info ONLY): https://store.steampowered.com/app/212680/FTL_Faster_Than_Li…

From the website:

FTL is now available in 9 languages! English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Mandarin!

---

The free expansion, FTL: Advanced Edition, is available now! Content additions include: new alien race, events, weapons, playable ships, drones, and more! Also adds additional musical tracks by Ben Prunty, and events by Tom Jubert and guest writer Chris Avellone.

If you already own FTL it should update the new content automatically. Advanced Edition is included free for anyone who purchases the game from this point forward.

---

In FTL you experience the atmosphere of running a spaceship trying to save the galaxy. It's a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields? Reroute all power to the engines in an attempt to escape, power up additional weapons to blow your enemy out of the sky, or take the fight to them with a boarding party? This "spaceship simulation roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat.

Key Features:

• Complex Strategic Gameplay - Give orders to your crew, manage ship power distribution and choose weapon targets in the heat of battle.
• Play at Your Own Speed - Pause the game mid-combat to evaluate your strategy and give orders.
  Unique Lifeforms and Technology – Upgrade your ship and unlock new ones with the help of six diverse alien races.
• Be the Captain You Want - Hundreds of text based encounters will force you to make tough decisions.
• Randomized Galaxy - Each play-through will feature different enemies, events, and results to your decisions. No two play-throughs will be quite the same.
• No Second Chances! - Permadeath means when you die, there's no coming back. The constant threat of defeat adds importance and tension to every action.

Enjoy.

      No worries, your comment was why I copied the link because I found it a bit annoying too.

  Oh, I got the advanced edition as a free upgrade I see. Might have to give it a go again, was fun but frustrating with the whole permadeath thing.

    Surely you can back up and restore the save file?

    • 

      smashman42 on 26/12/2019 - 14:23

      Yeah, supposedly saving the file & putting it back works fine, but I CBFed doing that given how often you'd have to do it to be worthwhile (though I could setup my NAS to rsync the file and then it might have previous versions available, hrm…)

      Part of the appeal is the permadeath so I didn't try too hard to get around it

        It's a roguelike, you're not meant to load and save it, it would just be boring and far too easy.

  Fun enough that I redeemed quite a few games on Epic Store but never yet downloaded their PC client.

    So far I have 65 free Epic Game giveaways. Including this. All have been good. Unlike some of the rubbish in my Steam Library.

  Already have this game on Steam, but if you're thinking about getting it, GET IT!!!

  It's an amazing game. The music is especially my favourite.

  Also wanted to add, that completing this game on normal, is considered to be near impossible.

  Don't know how man hours I spent, I still can't do it. Best of luck and have fun :D

    It isn't near impossible, just takes a good bit of practice and luck.

    What I love about the game is how indepth it is, I've gone through and beat the game on hard with every single ship variant, and yet there's still something that surprises me on a new run.

      Exactly - it's all down to luck.

      You may have a really well set out ship, but one single encounter in sector 7 -damn you, 4 layer shields - and your run is toast. It was designed something along the lines of 10% of your attempts would make it to the final boss. Think I was up to 100 runs before conquering it!

      Music is divine; Abandoned Sector is my favourite for sure
