  This is such a good answer. I remember playing it on easy back in the day and the final boss still kicked my ass.

    I remember having some really solid runs, easily beating every enemy I encountered… and then not even being able to make a dent on the final boss

      I spend the entire game prepping for the boss. Just because I can ohko every other ship the moment I land doesn’t mean I can touch the beast. I’ve done the last sector without taking a hit just to never even get past the shields in phase 1

        I think that’s my main complaint with the game. Once you find a way to beat the boss, you just go for that build every time. It’s so punishing and the path to get there is so long, that it’s a massive disincentive to try new things.

        Yep, that’s what everyone realises after getting stomped a few times!

  Into the Breach too, it’s just a less brutal way to learn how to play

  And once the game has become a breeze, with 100% of your runs being a success, install the Captain’s Edition mod and suddenly, it’s a pleasantly challenging title again. The add-on that turns it into an endless game in particular is so good, I spent dozens of hours playing it.

    Shoutout to Tinge’s Balance Mod. It’s actively maintained, and it makes the game more interesting by encouraging use of unpopular weapons and systems

    Captain’s is great too, but it can be overwhelming.

  The difficult steps in FTL are no joke. I was having no difficulty clearing on easy and was just trying to unlock all the ships. Once I did I switched to normal and had to restart 3 times before getting out of the first sector.
