I’m interested and for $3 I thinnill give it a shot. How does this compare to rimworld, as they look similar?

I hadn’t played so I just checked out a beginner’s guide and I don’t think they’re very similar at all.
In FTL you’re pretty much going from point to point on a map which mostly have encounters with single ships. You try to collect resources for upgrades or new weapons. At shops you can repair or buy things, and you’ll find new crew members there or organically through events. There are a few different ways to do combat (different kinds of guns/missiles, drones, or boarding enemy ships), and everything builds to a boss battle in the final sector.
I’m sure there are some vids that can lay out the basics in a few mins, but if it sounds anything like a genre you’re interested in I’d say 3 bucks is a steal for it. As a roguelike it’s got a lot of replayability.

My first thought was FTL as well. Great game

FTL is love. FTL is life.

Especially with the Multiverse mod!
(though it’s much harder to install on Linux than it has any right to be)

Oh my god! I didn’t know about the mod! I have to check this out! Thank you!

You’re welcome! I’ve played it a bunch, it’s essentially FTL 1.5 and extremely well made. Hope you have fun playing it!
In case you’re running on Linux, be warned that you might have to add a SELinux exception. Hit me up if that’s the case, I’ll try to find the commands.
