Faster Than Light vs Homeworld
Faster Than Light
Faster Than Light is a pretty unique indie game where you build amazing spaceships, manage your crew and set off to explore the vast, randomly generated galaxy in search of adventure and perhaps a fight. As your ship is built part by part, the enemy can attack specific areas of your ship as well. This means you'll likely encounter various challenging incidences during combat that will force you to think on your feet to save your ship at all costs... since the game's permadeath feature means you will not get a second chance if you lose your ship. Sometimes, you'll also need to make critical decisions to, for example, reroute what remaining juice you have into your shield for a last-ditch effort to defeat the enemy or to your engines while hoping for a quick getaway so you can fight another day.Although its simplistic appearance, Faster Than Light has a very intruiging gameplay that will truly challenge your ability as the commander of a spaceship. The scenarios you encounter are fun enough to solve, the permadeath drastically increase the stakes in the game, and of course, the battles are equally as exciting.
Homeworld
Homeworld is the remastered collection of a timeless classic which contains all remastered versions of the game as well as the classic versions. In some way, Homeworld plays out like EVE Online... if it's a an RTS game, that is. In this game, you'll get to build an armada of up to 100 spaceships of all types, shapes and sizes (that are unlocked through reseach), and battle enemies be it AIs or other players alike. The tactical and strategic depth provided in this game is simply incredible, allowing you to control every aspect of your fleet from its formation to flight tactics for individual battalions.This game also include a multiplayer mode which lets up to 8 players battle it out on any of teh game's 23 maps. Of course, you can choose any of the races in either Homeworld or Homeworld 2.
Honestly, we can't recommend Homeworld enough! This game is a classic through and through, and if you enjoy games of its genre, you simply must check this game out.
