great game, simple fast paced rouge-like, recommend for those who want to kill some time, with knowledge that updates are still to come, the game already has a wide variety of upgrades, only issue is if there are lots of stuff on the screen, the game can slow down by a noticeable amount.
What an absolute blast that game is! The first runs are sketchy to master, since the controls are not the usual, but after that, it gets pretty addictive for his simple design, but a ton of possibilities, and replayability! And what a ton of weapons and upgrades! Easy to play, but difficult to master, I recommend!
very fun and adicting. however it is a little pricey.
Being roguelike and making build interactions interesting and fun is a hard thing, but that game achieves it.
Amazing Sci-fi themed rouge-like, excellent if you love either massively satisfying ballistics or fast paced hit and run game-play. Seriously, tons of freedom in this, and did I mention endless?
If you're willing to challenge yourself, this game will treat you well. Also you will die quite a lot. Go ham.
this game is so visually pleasing, the music is fire, the gameplay is fire, i have had this game for an incredibly long time and have loved it and played it regularly. 11/10 would recommend
I found it quite enjoyable. Experimenting a bit with the various ship types and combinations. I found it quite hard and kind of stressful on the mouse finger at times. I needed some time to get used to the controls.
good variety of enemies and weapons. though I have no idea why recursive mods are off by default and hidden be hind a "challenge" they add so much variety. Beat it already but I think there is still great replay here and I hope more stuff is released later.
Hmmm yes. Asteroids but its pretty and fun. A game that is worth the price. If you haven't gotten the game get it its's good,
A fun game with great visuals
Played the game only on the steam deck and although the controls feel kindda wierd at first,
and the text is a little bit too small, the game works great.
My only gripe is i wish the game had more weapons to choose from, after 20 hours i flet like i pick the same 2-3 weapons (the ones i enjoyed the most) and the builds felt kindda samey, even after unlocking everything.
Overall, the game is great
I like the arcade feel of this game and all the options for different play styles.
nice graphic design, tons of combination
This game is really heckin’ good. The Asteroids esque gameplay mixed with deeply customizable roguelike build potential pair up together to make an exceptional example of what a bullet heaven (my preferred term for the genre, one proposed by Wanderbots) can play like. Pair that with some of the best and most focused visual, audio, and gamefeel polish I’ve seen in a game, and you have a brilliant game that’s worth the asking price, even off sale.
Great fun to build different ships and try different ways of playing. Very addictive. Only negative is no mid-game pause so if you're a high scorer you should set aside at least 30-60 minutes.
NOTE: those that suffer epilepsy or are averse to flashing lights should probably avoid this game.
Nova Drift is a somewhat strange game. Having a similar game play style to the old game Asteroids, it takes the concept and adds in a rouge-lite element to mix up the game play loop and create an unique experience each play...is what I would like to say.
Game play in Nova Drift can be divided into two concepts: the actual top down shooter game play, and the rogue-lite element. The top-down shooter game play has you navigating the play area with your ship (equipped with standard HP and a shield that has a passive effect), boosting around as you blast any enemies or environment hazards. You also have the ability to phase across the edges of the screen to escape enemy bullets, though the angle you'll exit from isn't always obvious and your own bullets won't do so without an upgrade. With all that said movement sounds really good but here's where the "Drift" in the title comes in: you don't have free directional movement and must instead utilize your aiming to steer left or right to orientate yourself. while an interesting twist, I find it to be a mixed bag as you will often find yourself needing to point one direction but move another to avoid the onslaught of things approaching you which will probably cause a game over or two. Enemy variety is a bit sparse in my opinion, with something akin to 30 normal mobs (including evolved forms that do the same thing but stronger) and about 10 boss enemies with the whole set randomly being applied per level and the only real change being the raw stats. Some enemies are perfectly fine after you see their pattern or attack and some enemies can one shot you if you so happen you lose track of yourself and stand still for about 2 seconds. Overall the actual game play gets a solid approval, but there are many small issues that can compound if you aren't ready for them. And then there's the rogue-lite part.
The rogue-lite element of the game is comprised of selecting options within a menu once you hit a level up threshhold as opposed to some other rogue-lites that offer items that you pick up or at checkpoints; each of the individual selections reset per run but you can unlock more bonuses to get as you play longer. You start with a weapon modifier selection, then a shield modifier, then a ship modifier, and finally get base modifiers affecting your offenses, defenses, or speed (and other things) plus the option to switch any of the earlier modifiers out with new ones. I think this system is not bad (a lot of the modifiers are hilarious and allow for a variety of builds) but it has two major problems. Firstly because the entire thing is tied to leveling up, you will inevitably start losing gains as you continue to play the game as opposed to having a constant stream in other rogue-lites (like RoR2 which I am using as the comparison point). that in and of itself isn't a major issue until it's combined with the second point which is that there's no real way to "switch" a build once you've started; any ability to swap parts that would better suit a change in ship or weapon is tied to level ups (which you're already probably using to make yourself stronger) meaning you basically use the same thing the whole run and hope it doesn't fail. If nothing else I would like to see some alternate game mode where in buffs are gotten differently to increase variety in a single game instance rather than having to effectively start over with that knowledge and hope you get everything you need. A slightly lower issue problem is also how there's not much reason to mix builds; you will likely always go mostly offensive with some defensive stuff to make sure you don't die, or mainly defensive with barely offensive bonuses and making use of the various defensive-offense buffs. could use more variety amongst the types of offense and defense, even more than it already does.
As for closing notes, the game is visually vibrant, but enemies can share coloration with your ship (and the coloration changes so which enemy does so isn't even consistent) meaning you will occasionally lose where you are and die that way while also occasionally having a lot of things happening on screen at once. Music is...there, mostly; it isn't bad but not particularly stand out either, though I will note it does fit the situation in most cases.
Overall, I think Nova Drift is definitely fun game to binge for a couple days then try a run every few days when you want to unwind. However as a long term playing experience I think it misses its mark and isn't quite worth the asking price unless you either got everything else you want or are really into the game play style (but hey there's also a demo so try it out for yourself).
Final verdict: 6.5/10. I happen to like it, but I'm not overly obsessed over it and I don't think I'd find myself returning *that* frequently to it.
One of the most complex and varied roguelikes i've played, such an amazing soundtrack and beautiful artstyle
A very fun Bullet hell with incredible visuals with Limitless startagies and macanicis witch are easy to learn
The game is great for a quick session every once in a while.
There *seems* to be great range of possible builds, but you´ll probably stick to a few that actually work. Experimenting with new stuff can be fun, but also frustrating when you get hard-countered by the first boss or so. (Maybe that´s just a skill issue. don´t care.)
Great game, great music, great atmosphere, great everything!
Perfect game for when you don't feel like thinking too much and just drop in and do a few runs.
Nova Drift is a great blend of upgrade mechanics, simple-but-beautiful visuals, short game sessions, and addictive game-play. If you enjoy ARPGS, SHMUPS, and Rogue-likes, this is one to check out.
A great combination of roguelike play and vector-based shoot-em-up. They genuinely provided myriad tactics to embrace, from missile swarms to ram-ships. This was my Vampire Survivors before Vampire Survivors. Been in the oven for awhile and great for the "one more try" as you try and chase down an intended build.
"Nova Drift" captivates players with its seamless blend of Roguelike space shooting and Action RPG mechanics. Developed by Mechanical Swarm, this indie gem tasks you with piloting a semi-organic spaceship through the void, upgrading it with over 150 unique modules to face off against a myriad of deadly enemies.
The game's deep customization and strategic upgrading create a diverse range of game play possibilities, ensuring each run feels fresh and exciting. Fast-paced combat and relentless enemy spawns keep the tension high, while the game's vibrant art style and colorful effects add to its visual appeal.
With multiple game modes catering to various preferences, "Nova Drift" offers endless replay ability and a rewarding challenge for both casual and hardcore gamers. A must-try for fans of space adventures and Roguelike games.
Never a huge fan of roguelikes but Nova Drift made the grind smooth and engaging when others can easily get frustrating. With a smooth and gradual progression which then takes a steep dive when it matters, it manages somehow to strike a great balance between challenge and accessibility. Worth a try if you'd been apprehensive about roguelikes.
Awesome little arcade game that has a lot of fun mechanics to play with!
Great game to pass the time, even if you've unlocked every mode. There are enough combinations of playstyles to keep you busy trying something new. Visually stunning with enemy variety and bullet hell.
Nova Drift is a game I have been watching for a while now and highly recommend.
It is a game that many will be familiar with but may not be the type of game you want.
While this is not a twin stick shooter, it plays very much like asteroids with obviously significant upgrades in graphics and gameplay.
I honestly prefer to play this way and while I hope Chimeric keeps it, I can understand someone not liking it if they were expecting a twin stick shooter.
Download the demo and find out for yourself.
Probably the best action roguelike, with all the ship and weapon stats available to be viewed. Controls can take a little bit to get used to, but work really well.
Nova Drift is personally my favorite space shooter game out here because of the nice designs/graphics, controls, content, AMAZING soundtrack, so it's a really good roguelike game. Merging roguelike with space arcade shooter was a very good idea, if you like either space shooter games or roguelikes, or both, you should try this game out, I really love it!
It is one of the best indie games i have ever played. The game has very high ceiling for mastery and you can do amazing thing with the tools that you are given. You can create a ship that rams through aliens, you can create a main ship to command smaller ones to do your bidding. You can become a star that burns as bright as The Sun and burn your enemies. It is worth every penny you spend.
Fun, easy to learn, and definitely expands on the ground work Asteroids laid. Plenty of weapon routes to take and mechanic complexity that I still don't fully understand. Never particularly frustrating, either. 87/100, would recommend.
Fun and unique design, just wish there was some more build variety
Stunning visual
Simple gameplay
Good replayability
Tons of fun builds and combinations and nicely adjustable difficulty. Would love to see if a multiplayer would be possible. Also would be nice if the regular enemies were aware of the way the arena works and used it to their advantage
This game is a true work of art when it comes to its design, it has so many unique and interesting build combos. Some of the achievements are complex and a real challenge to achieve, and I have spent hours just simply messing around with wierd combos.
It's a fun game that kept me entertained for hours, well worth the money. Achievement hunting is a bitch though, but what game isn't that the case.
An excellent example of doing a lot with a little.
Minimalistic yet gorgeous graphics.
Simple but satisfyingly complex gameplay. Movement and acceleration are on point.
really loved the game, super fun synergies and the graphics are really nice
I love coming back to this game after a year and trying all the new builds that have appeared. I suggest getting this game just for the replay value. This game makes me think of Galaga but you can move wherever you want and there are bosses. And other stuff that just make the game more fun. Good Luck
Nova Drift is a a 2D bullet-hell roguelike where you control an ever evolving spaceship, as you fight an endless onslaught of enemies.
You fight 19 waves of enemies the game throws at you. Every 20 waves, you encounter a boss. Each of these waves have 2 variants, so you're not sure which one drops in. with Wave 120 being the final facing a Star Eater. Beating it ends the game.
Mods
The game's other part of identity. They'll either make or break your ship. It all depends on what you choose. You might get subjected to reading a lot of functions for first few games, as the benefits and drawbacks are listed in bulletins. It's also color coded to see what benefit or drawback you receive upon picking one
Blue - A Mod grants a benefit. Ranging from Shield durability, weapon velocity or your speed.
White - Usually an element that tells you how your ship behaves in certain events or an added minor drawback to the benefits.
Red - A Mod gives a massive drawback that can destroy your ship if it's handled with no care, such as having no Shields, taking Hull damage every time you fire.
Mods are sorted in couple of categories:
Gear Mods - First few upgrades gives you a type of Weapon, Hull and a Shield. Can be skipped!
Upgrades - Whether they're base on unlockable, it comes with wide variety for many playstyle opportunities, such as aformentioned buffs, granting yourself Constructs aiding you in the battlefield or provoke a massive damage when your shield breaks.
Wild Mods - Unlockable as you play, these mods provoke game changing aspects and depending on a playstyle it has a catch upon choosing it.
Super Mods - Provides one or more very powerful buffs unlockable when obtaining two or more specific mods. Most of them come with a massive drawback, altering your playstyle indefinitely.
There are plenty more categories the mods are divided in, so you have sink in 'some' time to examine all of them
The whole gameplay loop is seeking for a perfect build as you go.
You want to be a definition of W.M.D? Command a fleet of Constructs? Ram through the foes?! Find appropriate mods and let the
And once you beat it, you can opt in the Endless to see how far will you endure before something breaks you. Beat your Highscore.
Mix up your variety, by enabling Metamophsis (which enable Wild Mods), Draft (which grants you lots of levels, but you're in far later waves)
OR
Toughen things up by enabling challenge modes where you drop in Wave 15, make hazards spawn more often or increase the Boss' strength (all, apart from Annihilation mode, grant Score and EXP bonuses.)
A fun, space shooter with roguelike elements and, arguably, a must have for Steam Deck. Simplistic visuals and total eye candy when you unleash hell on those vector shaped foes.
Absolutely recommend this game, it is really awesome. Probably the best bullet hell game I have ever played and best rouglite since hades. Its really unique with how it works, its really creative, it creates almost infinite possibilities and it is absolutely fun to play.
Great addictive space invaders style game with a whole bunch of modern twists.
Loads of replay value, you are constantly unlocking new ship bases, new constructs to support you, new weapon types, shield types etc.
Each playthrough feels like you are encouraged to try different builds and I love that.
This is currently my go-to game if I just want to relax, not stress over a game or I'm burnt out from work and don't want to put a ton of thought into my game.
Just sit back, enjoy the nice visuals and audio and blow things up.
VERY addicting game and so full of action and customization that you might be hard pressed to find a playstyle you cant play. Buy the shit out of this game. I only hope there will be a good modding community to keep it alive
Most games? Starting the game unlocks an achievement. Made a character? Achievement. Changed your hair? Achievement? watched the opening cinematic.
4 hours in, zero achievements and I keep dying a lot.
FYI this is more like Death Must Die, but with space ships. A lot of people compare this to Vampire Survivors..which, not entirely wrong...but if you have played both you will know what I mean.
Obviously there are tons of other bullet hell games, but just trying to give more recent examples since Galaga doesn't exactly cut it anymore lol. I do miss my Space Invaders 64 though. That was fire.
Anyway, this game is definitely a must buy, especially on sale obviously. A solid amount of depth just on the visual level, such as the abilities and modifiers. You can see a lot of the potential upgrade paths in advance is what I am trying to see, so you can just know even from just the demo that it's fully loaded lol.
Hopefully they make some "expansion" kind of stuff like Vampire Survivors did. That Ode to Castlevania is sick.
Maybe "Symphony of The Horizon" dlc inc? SHOW ME THEM HELL PORTALS BABYYY!!!!!
Completely addicted.
The variety of builds you can do is great.
It is insane to me that a game that looks like a twin-stick shooter is a single-stick shooter. If you were looking to have fun aiming while flying… this game isn’t for you. If the developer changes this and adds the ability to play the game both ways (wow, what an idea! Get MORE money by simply adding the ability to play the game in the way that you want to play!), I’ll buy it again. But as of right now, I’ve requested a refund and do not recommend this to anyone who wants a twin-stick shooter.
I’d also like to point out that no where in the description does it tell you how the game will play. Try the Demo before buying.
If you want to play modern Asteroids with a rough-lite approach; BUY NOW!
The war on shapes continues.
I recommend this game to all the arcade, high score, addicts out there. Nova Drift equips you with the most spectacular (especially on a large OLED TV) and effective weapons yet.
Nova Drift is one of my forever games and pound for pound the best value game I have ever purchased.
I've got about five hours in between the demo and then buying the full game. It's really fun for the first dozen or so runs, but, unfortunately, it gets stale. While there is a decent variety of weapons you still end up choosing mostly from the same group of upgrades. Some upgrades are better with some weapons, but, excluding the melee or ramming style builds, you'll care over about ~80% of your selections run-to-run.
Cool concept. Looks good. Runs well. Doesn't have longevity. Fun, but not full-price-fun.
EDIT: I've had a chance to play more at the higher difficulty levels, and the game is unbalanced as all getout. Some weapons are darn near useless against some of the higher tier bosses. Hard should still be fun, not feel like, "Oops, you've lost the rock-paper-scissors matchup for this run: time to die." I confirm my not recommend vote.
Nice little game... it works great on the "SteamDeck OLED 1 TB".
