I did a Gamedev Feedback video for an indie game that is in the vein of FTL with a sort of RTS combat system and ship customization:
The combat system involves a top down, right click to move your ship system as well as an auto fire mechanic which in combination is a little different. I want to be able to reprogram the targeting system of the weapons to fire more in advance. Its an interesting title and the developer is working on a sequel so I'm curious to see it refined more.
Also some of the FTL branching decisions seemed to be a bit arbitrary but that was also part of FTL, I assume I would get more familiar with which decisions have which payoffs.
Anyway the game is on sale on steam for really cheap so its probably a fun diversion for a few bucks you can check out and tell me if you agree with my assessment! Steam link:
