    One of the greatest roguelikes of all time is now less than $3

    There are a number of roguelikes that continue to provide an excellent time even after having spent dozens of hours with them over the years. Darkest Dungeon and Hades, for example, or, more recently, Balatro and Vampire Survivors. There's also FTL: Faster Than Light , a spaceshi

    12 years later, classic roguelike FTL has a huge unofficial expansion

    Faster Than Light is the game that made stress, pressure, and the imminence of total annihilation feel like fun. Before Bethesda's space opera Starfield, or beloved roguelikes such as Hades and Dead Cells, FTL propelled us into the deepest recesses of the cosmos and left us to fe

    The 9 best spaceships in PC games

    One Off The List is our monthly list feature. Is there something you think doesn’t deserve to be on this list? Comment with your reasons why, and next month it may be struck off. Happy Star Wars: Squadrons day, internet. I have nothing to offer but the sneer of a veteran Elite Da

    Game composers and YouTubers are in a murky battle for copyright control

    Every time I sit down to write, the first thing I do isn’t open up a blank document, it’s find some nice video game music to listen to. And loads of it can be found free on YouTube. Ambient music from Skyrim, relaxing compilations from Animal Crossing, lo-fi Legend of Zelda remix

    The best strategy games on PC

    For a time it looked as though strategy games had sunk into a kind of deathly malaise, unsure which territory to claim next and which ones it should leave well and truly alone. Fast forward to 2020, though, and strategy games have never looked healthier, which is why we’ve compil

    FTL: Faster Than Light is getting Steam achievements later this week

    Seven years after its original release, FTL: Faster Than Light is getting Steam achievements - and, all being well, they should arrive later this week. When developer Subset Games launched FTL - its critically acclaimed real-time strategy rogue-like in space - back in 2012, a tot

    Games of the Decade: FTL: Faster Than Light - home amongst the stars

    Alright, confession time: I have never finished a runthrough of FTL. FTL is probably my favourite game. I listen to the soundtrack every day, as I work, or unwind, or try to concentrate for just a minute. But the game? I can't finish it. In fact I'm not even getting close to fini

    Video games in China: beyond the great firewall

    Video games are a small window into Chinese life, but they're a window nonetheless, and video games themselves, in China, are huge. China accounts for more than half of the entire planet's PC gaming revenue. In fact, despite it being smaller than mobile gaming there, China's PC g

    Buy Into The Breach, get free FTL

    This is perhaps a slightly perverse offer, seeing as so many folks who have been jonesing for Into The Breach have the jitters and the sweats specifically because it’s the follow-up to the revered FTL . However, if you’ve managed to come to this backwards, i.e. got all hot’n’both

    Wot I Think: Into The Breach

    Look not to what high-speed, turn-based, sci-fi strategy wonder Into The Breach shares with its timeless predecessor FTL: Faster Than Light , but instead to how aggressively different it is. Though they share a soul of permadeath and moment-to-moment dilemmas, entire limbs have b

    FTL-like Abandon Ship hasn t found its sea legs yet

    ‘ FTL but on a…’ is a formula that sounds like it can just keep on giving, but it’s entirely telling that the creators of FTL have moved onto whip-smart micro-turn-based strategy instead of more ship management-based roguelitery. People keep making these things – on a train ! on
