I’m not sure if this counts as a “patient gamer” because I played them to death years ago…but I’ve been playing both again recently and they’re just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They’re not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they’re old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!
Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.
If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I’m sure there’s tons of great strategy games I’ve missed over the years
Well, there have been many games that have been influenced by the whole point to point event based rogue like map ideas, but most games don’t handle the combat the same way exactly, or have that same extremely punishing balance.
I’d love to see a full on FTL 2.
Can you recommend some good ones?
I don’t play the genre much, I didn’t even get that far in FTL itself, but Convoy is one I know of off the top of my head, if I think of any others I’ll come back and edit.
I’ll check that out! Pretty much every game getting recommended is new to me, this is great lol
Cobalt Core is a newish one that’s very inspired by FTL.
Added it to my wishlist! (I’m a patient gamer, after all)
Cobalt Core went on sale and I picked it up - it’s fantastic! Thanks again for the recommendation
