Anyone think FTL was worth it?

Nope.

It's hard. That's why it is fun. It's not meant to be solved in the half an hour and forgotten, it's meant to be played and enjoyed. Over and over.

Maybe you should give it another try. That game is really fun, even if you rarely win it. I played it for 50 hours before I won it for the first time on easy. I've never even attempted normal. Overall, bought it for $8.99 the day it came out, worth every penny.

I had issues at first, always got to the finish line AKA final boss and always had trouble when he gotten his health back, get some more ships unlocked, they come with different stuff you can put in them, I like the engi ship because it has robots that can fix and I found a robot that fix hull for 2 scrap (fixes like 9 hull damage something like that) really useful.

It is not an easy game, but I personally realy like it, even though I only managed to kill the boss on easy with large amount of luck.

The game is to small and bland, compared to binding of isaac or similar games.Huge disappointment for me.

This game is missing a tutorial for some reason. It's intended for players to keep learning with their mistakes. You'll get better every time you try to finish it, and it will give you very pleasurable sense of achievement when you finish it for the first time. Yeah, it's different from most games nowadays, where you don't have any difficulties at all :)

Eh... I'm not sure. I'm just really starting to doubt that it's my type of game. It's worse, because someone gifted me it. It's kind of disrespectful to just say ' Yeah, the game sucks. Take it back.'

I really enjoy FTL, but as dkriza says it hasnt got as much content as other rogue-likes. I dont mind that though, as I dont play them often-enough to see all the content anyway.

I quite enjoyed it despite not being the biggest sci fi fan. It's quite hard and a big part of it is RNG, but that's part of the fun for me. Some micromanagement skills are required.

Everyone's bad at roguelikes when they first start out. When you keep at it and don't get discouraged, that's when you get better. Personally, I think it's worth the $2.50 I paid for it.

My advice for FTL: don't pick a fight if you can avoid it. Stick to friendly sectors. Try not to wander around from beacon to beacon when you're in a sector.

I was looking forward to finding out as I just won a giveaway for it... but it looks as though it'll likely turn out to be a fake giveaway -_-

Personally I loved it.

Different strokes for different folks, though :)

Yeah, the purchase was definitely worth it.
It's true that the game isn't easy, at least on the normal difficulty, but on the easier difficulty with enough experience and patience I found that every run is win-able. Would recommend playing on normal first, though, to build a good strategy and to get an appreciation for the game.
There's also mods, because why not?
And with the drm-free version, it was nice to share with friends and compare progress and unlocks.
9/10 Would easily reccomend, especially at with all the sales.

Get it here, wtih coupon and free games, that is worth it.

It's difficult, but as you play more you learn to maximize your efforts and can beat out the randomness and difficulty. I don't regret getting the game, it's great. I still haven't managed to win a game yet, but I still enjoy it.

Amazing game.

I loved it. The Kestrel (starter ship) is actually one of the easiest to run. Or at least I thought so. Try not to rush through a region, try and get as much scrap as you can. One of my most hilarious mistakes was getting all the way to the boss battle and then not being able to touch the blasted thing. Upgrades are a must. I especially love beam weapons, although transporter fights can be quite successful too. If you can get the second set of shields really early on you have a lull of 2-3 regions where almost nothing can touch you. Man the shields, and the engine, man the weapons when you pick up another crew member. Stick with it and it can be a lot of fun. It is very, very hard. It does get easier as you get a better feel for what works and what doesn't work. But it will always be pretty unforgiving and harsh.

it. is. a. rogue. like.

I got it for cheap and ended up loving it, no doubts at all.

I got to the final boss (and died) in my first easy play through, been doing normal since then and its a lot harder =p Was well worth the money I spent on it.

Its a great game in my opinion. Some pointers:

• Invest in upgraded blast doors so you can suffocate intruders. Also use the doors to put out fires.
• Take your time advancing through sectors. You should try to remain just one move ahead of the rebel fleet.
• Don't power the medbay unless you are currently using it.
• If you can, get an extra bar in shields so it is an odd number. It'll protect your shields in case they get damaged.

Great game, bought it for full price, i have no regreats

one of the best games, but you really need to find out the best combination to survive early on otherwise it does get very annoying.

I lose to the Rebel Flagship everytime, but it's fun haha :) Worth the 2 keys I paid for it a few months back.
