FTL, along with indie titles Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac, are considered to be key games that launched the concept of 'roguelike-like' games that borrow a subset of major features of classical roguelike games but not all; most often, as with FTL, these games use procedural generation along with permadeath atop other gameplay mechanics to create a highly-replayable experience.

A Special Madness

Arguably one of the greatest lessons that video games can teach us is the lesson of perseverance. That indefatigable personality trait which pushes us to grind one more dungeon, to get to one more level, and to get that one last gold coin, regardless of how many turns it takes on the endless, almost Buddhist cycle of death and rebirth for us to get there. If the surest sign of insanity really is the repetition of the same acts, in the hope of a different outcome, then video games are a special madness that is shared among all of us. One such special madness shared among a seemingly select few is fandom for the Captain's space opera. The fantasy of being in the Captain's chair, balancing the Needs of the Many versus the Needs of the Few. All hands to battle stations, shouts Captain Picard, as Jayne grins menacingly. Imperial-class Star Destroyers? That don't seem too fair. They only sent three of 'em.. angle the deflector shields, Chewie, we're going in.

FTL: Faster Than Light, by two-man indie team Subset Games, almost seems like it was a game made for gloriously mad moments like these. With an SNES-era 16-bit aesthetic, and a plot and setting seemingly ripped straight out of an episode of Firefly or a Star Wars novel, FTL seems like it wants to pull out all of the stops, to tug on as many nostalgic heart strings as it can to suck us in. And boy, like the Cerberus Black Hole, it definitely sucks you in. FTL has the unique distinction of being one of the first (if not the first?) games of 2012 to publicly benefit from the newfound power of Kickstarter. Arguably, one could say that the Kickstarter campaign didn't really matter as much as some championing the crowd-sourcing model would lead us to believe; the game was already well underway, and almost largely complete when Subset launched their Kickstarter drive (hence accounting for the very low final target). In the end though, it doesn't really matter; it's because of Kickstarter that FTL has become one of the best regarded indie games of the year. Without that attention, FTL wouldn't have failed, but it surely wouldn't have become the massive success that its become for Subset.

Just like how Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten (surely one of the best and most addictive indie Mac games I'd encountered in 2011-2012) radically recontextualized the notion of what a tower-defense game could (and should) be, FTL takes our notions of what a rogue-like game could be, and shoves it out the airlock in due fashion. Like in Defender's Quest, all of the traditional elements are there, front and center, if you strain your brain hard enough to make the connections; like the intrepid adventurer tossed into a dank dark dungeon, we have a ship cast into the inky black void of space. Like said dungeon, space in FTL is a vacuous ocean filled with all sorts of unknown possibilities, of loot to discover, and monsters to massacre – only that instead of hungrily collecting piles of gold, we are left desperately scrounging for scrap metal, fuel, and ammunition. Instead of shambling monstrosities out of an H.P. Lovecraft novel, we have pirates, disease-addled ship captains helming battleships bristling with weaponry, and Rebel scout fighters who may even be a little mournful that, either way, someone is going to add to the body count of this apparently pointless and endless galactic war. It's easy to see then, that FTL brings a unique almost defiant style and aesthetic to the Rogue-like genre. If games like Hack Slash Loot and Cardinal Quest tried to streamline and probe their gameplay down to the essence of what makes a Rogue-like a Rogue-like, FTL flamboyantly dresses it up in the trappings of cherished sci-fi garb, with all of the glee of an overenthusiastic cosplayer.

Where FTL really shines though is how it goes beyond simply being a sci-fi rogue-like. Instead of an adventurer, 'you' are a starship populated by a crew. The ship's systems are broken down into the categories you'd expect, with piloting, engines, shields, weapons, life-support, and sickbay as the defaults. These systems cost energy, which increases as you upgrade your ship's systems further. This costs scrap metal, the game's principal in-game currency, but even if you were able to accumulate the scrap to do so, you will never have enough upgradeable capacity to max out all of your systems, and keep them fully powered all at the same time. And on top of that, your desire or ability to upgrade your weaponry – including guns/missiles and robotic drones – is contingent upon whether or not you'll actually be able to find any upgrades to use and equip in the first place. On some playthroughs, my ship was overloaded with ion cannons, offensive drones for boarding actions, and pulse lasers – on others, all I had on-hand to face the final boss were my default weapons and a prayer. Oh yes, and since you can target the systems on opposing ships to knock out, they can do the same to you, and it's no surprise that enemy ships will often try to go for your O2 systems first. And speaking of weapons, the weapon progression also balances a delicate line between firing rate, energy consumption and stopping power. That sweet missile launcher may do four whole points of hull damage, regardless of shield strength – but such impressive potential is useless if half your ship is destroyed by the time you'll get a chance to fire it, or if you end up having to turn off critical systems to power it up.
