FTL: Faster Than Light
In the twelve years since FTL released it feels like the roguelike genre has absolutely ballooned in popularity, yet FTL remains one of the absolute best to ever do it. You take control of a spaceship’s crew and make your way to your destination while being constantly attacked by enemies. While staying alive is paramount, FTL is much more management-based as you need to choose the proper crew and equipment as well as direct said crew to stations across these ships in order to avoid defeat. The fast-paced but highly strategic and customizable nature of each encounter makes returning to FTL over and over again a joy.
