FTL Beta Warping In Sometime This Month

If you were lucky enough to participate in FTL’s impressive Kickstarter before it closed, you’ve likely discovered that you now have access to the upcoming closed beta. If that’s the case, you are officially my newest and best friend. Best friends share their space-roguelikes, right? Right?

For those of you who haven’t been following the game, FTL’s an indie project where you take the role of managing a starship through randomly-generated encounters. I know, I know, that doesn’t sound too fun, but just trust me on this one. Look, I’ve attached video evidence as well!

I’m already eagerly anticipating beaming my team of specially-trained killers aboard an enemy starship that’s on fire and beaming them out seconds before it explodes. And by saying all that, what I really mean is dying a quick and fiery death. Anyone here excited as well?
