A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I'm not sure if this counts as a "patient gamer" because I played them to death years ago...but I've been playing both again recently and they're just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They're not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they're old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!

Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.

If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I'm sure there's tons of great strategy games I've missed over the years

I adore FTL, can't believe nobody else tried to do something similar all these years.

Well, there have been many games that have been influenced by the whole point to point event based rogue like map ideas, but most games don't handle the combat the same way exactly, or have that same extremely punishing balance.

I'd love to see a full on FTL 2.

Can you recommend some good ones?

Cobalt Core is a newish one that's very inspired by FTL.

Added it to my wishlist! (I'm a patient gamer, after all)

Cobalt Core went on sale and I picked it up - it's fantastic! Thanks again for the recommendation
