The melodies are simple and can become quite catchy after repeated listens and the additional quirky sounds present in the battle version really add to the urgency without making it obvious. Meanwhile “Civil” starts off with simple chords before the bass comes in to get the piece moving forward. “MilkyWay” builds its textures around repeating patterns and the shift to battle mode consists of a simple drumming beat with some additional synthesisers built on top and a funky bass line towards the end. The first two tracks, “MilkyWay” and “Civil” are what you would most likely hear in the civilian sectors, probably the safest sectors to travel to, and the music reflects that. The in-game tracks correspond to what sector you are in and who inhabits said sector. It has a simple hook with additional layers being added and taken away as the piece progresses, which combine together to make a very well mixed and well written opening track that gives an indication of the feel for the rest of the first half. The album opens with “Space Cruise”, which is the title theme. BodyĬomposer Ben Prunty wants listeners to think of the soundtrack in two parts, with part 1 (tracks 1 – 14) being the Explore half and part 2 (tracks 15 – 29) being the Battle half, and he encourages people to either listen to whatever suits their mood, or make their own arrangements. The soundtrack album features separate tracks for both mixes of each piece along with some standalone pieces. Each piece of music that occurs during gameplay has both a chilled ‘Explore’ mix and a more intense ‘Battle’ mix. The impressive cross-fading between general exploration music and battle music really adds to the engagement while playing the game you subtly know when the drums kick in that you need to focus on quick decisions to defeat an enemy, and then when the drums are gone, you can take your time and think about your next move. The music is entirely electronic, and has a very spacey feel to it, and in-game includes some simple yet very effective interactivity.
Where do you shoot? Do you teleport your crew over to fight the enemy’s crew? This and many more decisions come into play as you travel between star systems and planets during a run-through of FTL, it’s the closest to feeling like Captain Kirk a video game has become.

Inspired by a combination of tabletop board games and space combat games, the top down strategy gameplay tasks you with, among other things, moving and assigning your crew, deciding where and how to divide power between ship systems, and choosing how to fight enemy ships. The game has many roguelike elements such as randomly generated maps and permadeath.

Since MV 5.1 and thanks to hyperspace, sector map generation can now be modified, using different rules than the one present in Vanilla FTL (40%-40%-20% for green-red-nebula respectively) and thus they now use the following configuration: These sectors can only occur once per game but contain special events as well as a Loot Transport and a Miniboss (where applicable).Īs of v3.10, these sectors are usually indicated by a after their name. Unique sectors can come as a variety of names, but are usually titled either Homeworlds, Coreworlds, or Stronghold. These reinforcements are difficult fights which come with an ASB. Killing a guard results in reinforcements to be called in throughout the sector. Hostile sector guards will usually fight you regardless, unless you have something or someone to convince them otherwise.
For friendly sectors, these guards are usually friendly (see Notoriety), and you'll be able to request supplies if you wish, or fight them anyways. Most sectors have a guard at the entrance beacon, protecting the sector from any outside threats. This removes any quests for the next sector. The player may also unlock certain secret sectors throughout their playthrough, which they can jump to during hyperspeed instead of the sector chosen. Whilst in this state, the player can activate certain augments before proceeding to the next sector. When entering each sector, the player goes through hyperspeed travel.
