FTL is a great game which although seemingly simple to start with, is actually REALLY HARD! I have sunk many hours into FTL now, and can guarantee you are not going to have an easy time. The game requires you to play through multiple times ('a rouge-like'), in order to progress. My advise is, if you like any of the below, go get this game from Steam right now:
- Rouge-like games (e.g. Dark Souls)
- Star trek
- Managing power in X-Wing / Tie Fighter
- dying
