FTL: Faster Than Light

A real-time strategy roguelike where you captain a single spaceship from a top-down view. You jump between beacons across procedurally generated sectors, handling events, shops and fights. In combat you can pause to direct your crew and ship systems. If the ship is lost, the run ends and you start over. Is it your kind of game?
