FTL meets Warhammer 40,000 in tactical space sim Void War

Ahoy, user of PC games! I fearfulness that Void War whitethorn beryllium highly applicable to your statistically determined interests. It's a abstraction combat crippled successful which you steer ancient, crenellated starships done a frightful cosmos of humor cultists, imperial zealots, and ravening corsairs. You volition warp from node to node connected a roguelite strategy map, with each node harbouring battles, communicative encounters, and the occasional affable oregon astatine least, not instantly hostile look specified arsenic a merchant.

To accidental that successful less: this is Subset's FTL: Faster Than Light but acceptable successful the despairing postulation of Warhammer 40,000. It is flatplan Battlefleet Gothica. In the grim acheronian of the acold future, determination is lone the temper trailer, below.

The afloat crippled is retired 30th May, and determination is simply a demo connected Steam and Itch. I person played that demo for astir 20 minutes. Here are immoderate breathtaking things that happened: I got a caller enlistee killed during a boarding action; I blew up a cultist vas crewed by reanimating ghouls and immoderate benignant of skull wizard, who kept doing psychic sabotage connected my engines; I recovered immoderate vials of demon worms down a horrible astral altar, which I americium redeeming for the adjacent skull wizard.

All precise enjoyable. Perhaps a spot excessively familiar? It's been years since I played FTL, but this often feels identical. Engagements unfold successful real-time, but you tin intermission to micromanage. The basal instrumentality is to allocate reactor vigor betwixt your vessel systems, particularly your shields and weapons, portion ordering your unit betwixt rooms to run systems and woody with invaders oregon hazards similar fires.

The creation absorption is besides a spot plain for a task riding Games Workshop's overgarment tails - I request much grot, guts and greebling, damn your eyes. Still, the mounting feels adequately horrendous. For example: I person conscionable installed a cannon that gives different ships the plague. I entertain precocious hopes of recruiting a skull wizard of my own.

Going by the breakdown of the backer alpha connected the Itch.io page, the afloat crippled volition connection successful the portion of: 10 playable ships, 8 playable commanders, 70 unit types crossed six factions, 60 kinds of weapon, 50 modules and 19 vessel systems, positive 140 unit items. There is perchance a Warhammer 40,000 FTL mod that does immoderate oregon each of this already. If you cognize of 1 delight amended me. If you find each this excessively grimdark, see playing Breachway instead.
