Nova Drift is a roguelike space shooter that combines classic arcade combat with action-rpg elements, emphasizing build-crafting and deep customization. Your ship rapidly evolves as you defeat enemies, allowing you to take a build from inception to execution in a single, captivating game session.

Featuring:

  • Quick gameplay sessions (15-45 minutes) that allow for rapid experimentation, iteration, and advancement.

  • Over 200 modular upgrades, unlocked over time, to create your ideal build with. Snipe, command a drone army, discharge your shields, charge up, burn enemies with your thrusters, or smash right through them... there's a way to make it work.

  • Modular challenge modes to unlock and activate, providing greater risk and rewards. The stakes are high, as death is permanent!

It’s a great game for the most part. I love space shooters and the wide variety of upgrades give it a lot of interesting replay value. However, the controls are just frustrating if you aren’t using a gamepad. The game desperately needs a dynamic / floating joystick option (that appears where you place your finger). I just do not have the skill to be able know exactly where the joystick is on the screen to accurately manipulate the controls with any kind of accuracy. And accuracy is required to get anywhere with this game. Developers, please add this as a controls option in the future. It will drastically improve the experience.

I love this game but sometimes the waves (specifically 1-20) feel very similar. It Also needs more specific paths for specific builds such as the carrier. I really like the bosses, you guys did well. it also needs an increased frequency of singularities.
