Nova Drift
Critic Reviews for Nova Drift
NOVA DRIFT is highly recommended to fans of twinstick shooters, even if it may not seem like their cup of tea. And for those of you with a Steam Deck – oooooh boy is this a perfect fit. It’s slick, it’s stylish, it’s polished. It’s cheap too. Go get it.
Nova Drift is a love letter to classic space shooters, modernized with rogue-lite depth and near-infinite build variety. Its tight controls, diverse enemies, robust Gear and Mod systems, and dynamic Challenge Modes—especially the game-changing Wild Metamorphosis—keep you hooked. Although the classic feel can sometimes be its downfall in some instances, with no global leaderboard curbing long-term engagement. It’s a niche game, even for a rogue-lite, but a must-play for old school fans or even gamers looking for a rogue-lite that doesn't have many comparisons. It isn't visually or sonically flashy, and it can get a bit repetitive at times, but it's a great game that knows what it wants to be and delivers a fair yet challenging experience that rewards skill and strategic build crafting.
A great, simple, easy-to-play, intuitive, and fun game. That’s Nova Drift, which offers excellent graphics, a fantastic soundtrack, and incredibly simple controls. It’s like playing Asteroids, but with a more modern look, and the game has taken a whole bunch of muscle boosters. The only real problem is that it’s still in early access, because even after all these years, the game still doesn’t have a full release.
