Another game by the same devs worth looking at is "Into The Breach". Really great rogue like that's akin to SRPG's but distilled. Often times battles end up being more crisis management and you have decide what you're willing to loose to win the stage.

Into the Breach also gets rid of the real-time aspects of FTL, it's purely turn-based.

Each turn you get to see what the vek (enemy aliens) are about to do, and it's up to you to disrupt their moves so they don't destroy buildings etc.

Each vek move plays an ascending tone one after the other, and even though they're not loud and the notes aren't discordant or anything, it gets really stressful when there are a lot of them.

I love this game.
