Faster Than Light
Best Roguelike Games You Can Play Right Now
At this point, you might be wondering if roguelikes are exclusively set in castles and underground dungeons. Well, this entry aims for the stars themselves. Faster Than Light gives players a fully upgradable starship with real-time management systems to play with. Every light jump is a roll of the dice in that it can end up with an ally helping you out or space pirates boarding your ship.
The sheer degree of control you have over the weapons, strategies, and upgrades of your ship is spectacular, giving a realistic impression of being the captain of a starship. There are also a ton of mods available, created by an actively involved community which add everything from ship skins to entirely new narrative experiences. Faster Than Light makes every death a learning experience, meaning that you won’t be able to jump back in fast enough.
