Description

The award winning PC spaceship simulation game from Subset Games comes to iPad! Includes the free expansion, FTL: Advanced Edition, which adds new ships, enemies, events, weapons, and more!

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:
- Give orders to your crew, manage ship power distribution and choose weapon targets in the heat of battle.
- Pause the game mid-combat to evaluate your strategy and give orders.
- Upgrade your ship and unlock new ones with the help of seven diverse alien races.
- Hundreds of text based encounters will force you to make tough decisions.
- Each play-through will feature different enemies, events, and results to your decisions. No two play-throughs will be quite the same.
- Permadeath means when you die, there's no coming back. The constant threat of defeat adds importance and tension to every action.

Great game, just needs an update for the new iPad Pro aspect ratio! The black borders aren’t too noticeable since the backgrounds are mostly black, but they are for the UI.

No fun

There is so much to like here. Simple interface and gameplay but huge depth and variety in how it plays out. It can be frustrating though as even on easy a great run can be wiped out with one mistake or even with RNG - like having no stores for ever. There are no saves so every wipe like this means all the way back to the start again.
Very tough game. Very good though

You frequently encounter enemy ships that are stronger than you are, even at the start of the game. This results in either death or using most of your missiles, and the game economics do not reward you with sufficient bounty to pay to replenish missiles and fuel. Dull...

Just amazing

I've logged tens of hours on this game. It's excellent. Just bear in mind it simulates you being a ship's captain... so it's about strategic thinking in individual encounters and the long game rather than running and gunning!

Best game ever

Let’s be clear and keep it short: this is probably the kind of games a tablet was created for. Control, interaction, everything fits perfectly.
Also helps that FTL is immersive, re-playable and full of hidden secrets.
And did I mention the music? Got it as soon as it was released eons ago, and still playing it.

Fantastic

All the lovely unfounded 1 star reviews on here entertain me saying the game is impossible etc etc, when was piloting a giant spaceship jumping from one side of the galaxy to the other through hundreds of different threats and environments easy? It’s a really deep game with complete replay ability different random encounters each time that you can learn from and benefit or lose from, I’m still playing on normal let alone hard because it’s that challenging it’s meant to be otherwise you’d beat it once and piss off back to candy crush wouldn’t ya? 😂👌 all in all 5 stars.

You can’t escape..

There doesn’t seem to be any option to take evasive action when you get into trouble. I got into a battle and I could see that I was beaten long before it happened, but all I could do was just sit there and wait to be blown to bits when all I wanted to do was turn around and get out of there, it doesn’t really leave me wanting to come back for more.

One great example of why consoles will die.

It's inevitable that gaming as we know it will migrate to the tablet. FTL is just one clean example of this. Simple, elegant and sophisticated with a balanced mix of all the key ingredients of what makes gaming great. A fantastical indulgence of time none of us have but so enjoyable. Pure escapism. Love it...
...3 years later and still the best game I've played. Stuck on a desert island. Trapped in elevator. 20 hour delay at the airport. None of it matters if you've packed FTL.

Brilliant!

God I love this. Only downside is how addictive it is. It's the right amount of difficult, so after a few years of playing I am still challenged on the hard setting!

Version 1.5.14
I was sceptical despite all the great reviews so I finally bought it and did not regret well worth the price. I have been playing and recommend having at least a couple of tries on easy mode for me even on easy mode I still die countless times, but do be deferred for this game is well worth the hours of trying and raging but eventually it pays off you unlock more ships and you figure your way of going faster that light. I am yet to complete on easy but am determine to succeed. I say if your worried about a waste money if you have a bad attitude you will probably hate the game go in with a positive attitude and the game gives back. Best of luck to all.

Good but expensive

For what it is, it is too expensive. There is no great depth although it is enjoyable. Also, the way it tries to beat you when you become good at it, is outdated and poor AI. Basically, suddenly strong intruders come in and destroy your ship. All in all, not worth the expense.

Thank you so much for updating!

Amazing that you guys didn't forget about all your loyal players and released an iOS compatibility update! Awesome! I still play this nearly daily (having some REALLY bad RNG luck trying to get to the hidden zone... Still one of the best 5 games ever for iOS. I'd happily pay for an update/expansion with some new ships/weapons/events...

Happy to see the game isn't dead and if I may make a request may mod support be added for iPad I would love to get the infinite space mode or just add a endless mode as I always get to the end when I'm having fun role playing with my crew

An immersive and epic game!

Where do I start? If you're new to FTL and it's (included) add-on, then you're in for a real treat. Prepare to spend hours upon hours mastering the game and trying every new tactic you can think of. I am not sure how much time I've spent playing this but it's all been worth it. Just a note though, don't be disheartened when you lose your ship and all of your progress at any stage in this epic. It's all part of learning the mechanics and will make success all the more sweeter when you do beat the final boss.
As a side note, I am so pleased the devs have added 64bit support. I was ready to lose this wonderful game when the next iOS was released.

One of the best games on the App Store! If you are looking for a game you can invest ALOT of time into without it getting too frustrating then this is the game for you!
Edit: to all the people saying it's too hard and how sometimes they loose crew members and get nothing in return, The game is meant to be realistic, Do you honestly think that travelling through a danger filled galaxy is going to be easy?!?!?!?
Edit 2: I'm so surprised that this game doesn't have more credit from the App Store...

Amazing sci fi rogue like.

Easily one of the best games available for iPad. The gameplay is fluid and fun, it's just easy enough to hook you in, but fiendishly challenging. A great soundtrack adds to the atmosphere. Wonderful game.

Don't let the graphics (or the STUPID one star reviews) fool you. The content of this game outshines it all. You run around the galaxy on a mission in your own spaceship and captain of your crew, what's better than that. If you're a fan of sci-fi then you'll be a fan of FTL.
*If you're worried about the price, remember this a PROPER PC game, it's also really hard, long and comes with a free expansion pack*

Old school arcade style awesome. FTL doesn't give you the option to faff your way to victory, saving every few moments to back up your progress. No, when you beat this game, you and your FTL peers all know that you've earned victory the hard way. Without doubt one of the best games on the store.

Addictive but annoying

Highly addictive but far too difficult even on easy. Everything can be going well and then all of a sudden it's all over and you have to start again. A better learning curve would be appreciated and not alienate (oh such a clever pun) people from the game as early as I am sure it currently is.

I'm certain this game bends time. I start, think I've been on for five minutes, yet three hours have passed!
Seriously addictive, works fabulously on iPad and will make you work relentlessly to unlock everything, just because you can!
Beating the end is tricky, and requires planning, skill and an element of luck. A bit like real life then...download and enjoy.

Fantastic

I've completed FTL many times now but I still keep coming back to play more - it's that good.
Completing the game with the different ships you unlock offers great replay value as the ships are very different necessitating different play styles. There's also a bunch of extra achievements to grind out if you want.
It works great on touch and the inclusion of the advanced edition content is great.
I would love to see a sequel.
