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 must have poured hundreds of hours into both of them, amazing games!
I've got about the same. A few weeks ago I was house-sitting with nothing to do so I played FTL pretty much the entire time I wasn't working or sleeping lol
I've only found two games that scratched the itch since - Frostpunk (2018) and Against The Storm (2023?) but neither are turn-based. Hopefully someone can suggest some others!
Ooh I've got Frostpunk but haven't played it yet, good to know it might be similar!
Just so you aren't going in with the wrong impression, it has very little in common with the gameplay of FTL/ITB. It just hits the same buttons for me and I'm sure there's a ton of fan crossover. I mentally put them in the same made up category of "atypical strategy games that really get you thinking"
