Faster than Light

If you like good games in general you gotta try this.
It's out in steam and developers website for about $9

There is plenty of coverage but just in case,
it's a little roguish spaceship sim where you try to survive by managing crew members, ship's energy resources, weapons etc.

A full game shouldn't take more than 2 hours and you'll die a lot.

Highly recommended.

 

Snagged a copy off steam this afternoon, gotta say its really fun! Wasn't sure what to expect but its better than I thought it was going to be. I'm still very early in gameplay but would echo the comments above.... thanks for the heads up +1

 

Going to look into this on Tuesday. Thanks for the heads up!

2houres is to long (

 

Liked what I saw in the trailer!
But I'd rather have this game on my phone. Same with gratuitous space battles.

There is a lot of clicking around but it would definitively work.

Though I think it's about 2 people that made this game so it may be a while if it happens.

 

I'm still getting this game though, to support the developers.

Its a pretty solid rogue-like-esque game. Very fun for just a bit of pick up and play. Still haven't beaten that bloody last boss though.

Also for those who don't know about it Star Command is also looking to be a pretty solid little game for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. Check out the trailer:

 

I barely beat it on easy. My ship had two hitpoints left and all but one of the crew was dead. I had to spam burst lasers to overwhelm the shields and destroy the weapons stations.

 

It's a very entertaining game indeed. I could only beat it on easy as well and it took me quite a few tries, so it is quite hard in general. Also unlocking all ships and layouts for them will take plenty of time (if you don't get bored of it sooner).

I agree though that this is really the type of game that is quite simple and a tablet could handle it perfectly, so I'd appreciate if the devs made an Android version later on.

 

Is star Command out already?

No not yet, the devs still haven't put out a firm release date. I think they are just going by the 'we'll release it when its ready' approach.

 

Still loving this game... and I still can't beat it even on easy! It's so dang addicting though! My last play through ended with an epic Rebel/Pirate battle in only the third world.... was completely overwhelmed by 4 boarders and a missile that would pierce my hull and unload an attack droid in the room each hit... my poor little crew never stood a chance but they sure fought hard to the bitter end. RIP

and now to try again!

 

I love this game, I bought it about a month ago and it's definetely worth the money. I refuse to play on easy so I've only ever made it as far as the final battle (where I was quickly destroyed) but I plan to keep trying for a long time to come.

 

I've been playing on easy only but still can't beat it, that last battle is no joke, not only that but I haven't managed to unlock any other ships!!

oh well, yes now to try again!

 

and another fight and another loss ha... Made it to end of 7 with the Engi ship, but man those automated rebel ships get mighty hard at that point! Got tangled up in a fight with hull down to 2.... one missle and BAM... had a full crew, was looking and feeling good but I was wrong!

EDIT: And tried again, made it to level 8, and the second final battle... and it proved too much! Sheesh!

 

Finally got to the boss with the Engi layout A. barely survived first round (like, 1hp left on hull) and promptly crushed in round 2. Still fun, though!

4 ships unlocked - but still having fun!

 

Looks pretty interesting. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

 

WOOHOO finally beat it on easy! Had a good run, last fight was tough but not too bad... very fun game
