EVE Online vs Faster Than Light
EVE Online
EVE Online is a space simulation/ action MMO game that is among the most talked about game of all time when it comes epic space battles and deep "political" rifts between factions and guilds. In fact, the game has a social aspect that's so intricate - almost web-like - connecting every single player together that sometimes results in a melting pot that unfortunately boiled over... and that's when massive wars involving thousands of players and their spacecrafts erupt!Featuring immersive and rich lore as well as the whole universe for you to explore, the game is not all dogfights in space either - you can actually build a mining empire by excavating and trading minerals or become a cunning space pirate and ambush passing traders and their laden cargo too.
No other game does the space game genre justice than EVE Online. It can be rather complicated and somewhat daunting for a new player to start in the game, but once you got into the groove, you'll realize how brilliant this game is.
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.
