Gold Award-winning FTL: Faster Than Light has dropped to its lowest price on iPad yet

It's been a fair while since you've heard of any mobile sales for FTL - the last one was July 2017 - but this time around the game has dropped to its lowest price ever. You can grab it on the App Store for your iPad at an astonishing £1.99/$1.99.

Faster Than Light is a household name in the gaming world, one you've probably seen streamed more than a few times over on Twitch and played to death on YouTube, but there's a good reason for that.

In this roguelite you have to run your own spaceship and try to save the galaxy while you're at it. Sounds easy, right? Hah, even the easy setting isn't easy, and that's all for the better. This randomly-generated game offers up quite the challenge, has plenty of opportunities to die, loads of upgrades to get through, and more.

In its review we gave it a Gold Award, saying: "FTL is a sandbox for reliving moments from your favourite books and shows, the interplay between the Choose Your Own Adventure text elements and the careful strategy bringing the coldest reaches of outer space thrillingly alive in the warmth of your palm."

Ask anyone who's played this game before, you'd be happy paying full price for it and getting it this cheap is an absolute steal.
