An 80% cut brings this classic spaceship simulator down to under two dollars on Steam.
Get it on Steam →Subset Games has discounted FTL: Faster Than Light to $1.99 on Steam, dropping the price of the spaceship simulator by 80 percent, according to the digital storefront's listing. For the price of a pocketful of loose change, players can once again experience the joy of watching their entire crew suffocate because a rogue missile breached the oxygen room.
The developer confirmed the discount as part of its latest Steam promotion. Originally released in 2012, the game tasks players with piloting a lone Federation ship through randomly generated sectors of space while fleeing an aggressive rebel fleet. If you are looking to fill your digital library with more tactical challenges, PC storefronts have been leaning heavily into roguelike deals lately.
The details
- Price: $1.99 (80% off, down from $9.99)
- Platform: Steam (PC, Mac, Linux)
- Developer: Subset Games
It is a low-cost invitation to fail repeatedly at saving the galaxy, which is still a better return on investment than a gym membership in February.
