Developed by a team of two men Faster Than Light is a space strategy game. They have a ship with a crew and several subsystems sci-fi as shields, engines, weapons, sensors and life support to manage. They are being chased by a huge rebel fleet, trying to reach Federation with key information that is vital to the survival of humanity. The story is not really the most important of FTL, except as a basis for some basic rules, such as why they can not stay in an area for too long or because they can not ask for any help from the Federation.
The battles have a configuration in real time where they can pause and issue orders at any time. Then, once the battle is over, every jump you make is between systems as a shift in a turn-based game, and each time the enormous rebel fleet approaches involving the whole sector. Usually move to the right to escape from a sector and into the next and the game is constantly generating meetings. In a system can find a ship that sells some useful resources important, in others it is just a fight against the mercenaries, slavers, pirates and rebels, and in still others, will have to make choices that can have a nice benefit, or cost so that they may lose because of it.
Love strategy but your processor and graphics card doesn't love you? The best strategy games for low-end PCs have you covered.
From Xfire: "PC exclusives might not get as much of the limelight as their console counterparts, but that doesn't mean they're not worthy of your attention. PC exclusive games are often just as good if not better than console exclusives. Some even go on to win multiple gaming awards despite being made by relatively unknown studios."
It's not supposed to produce a foul odor contrary to popular belief. That would indicate intestinal injury.
From Xfire: "Gaming desktops are more powerful than they've ever been. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to get themselves the latest and most powerful graphics card right now. Not especially given the current situation, with cryptocurrency miners driving up the prices of even entry-level gaming graphics cards like the GTX 1050 ti.
With that said, not every game out there demands a powerful PC. In fact, in this day and age, some of the best games on PC can be played even if your desktop doesn't have a graphics card."
It's not just miners driving up prices, but the fact that there's a global semiconductor shortage. It's hitting everything hard, from GPUs, to cars, to mobile SoCs.
But I've noted a similar thing to the author, in that many of the games I play don't even require the hardware I've got. Still nice to have, still want to get a RTX 30XX series card for the graphics heavy games I do end up playing, but some of the best games I've played don't require beefy hardware to run or enjoy.
