Nova Drift is best described as a ‘roguelite’ space shooter that melds a classic arcade experience with modern action-RPG, deck-building and strategy elements. Your ship rapidly evolves as you defeat enemies, allowing you to shape its abilities and weaponry to your desires in a matter of minutes. Unlike many action-RPGs which can absorb hundreds of hours of time, Nova Drift allows you to take a ship build from inception to full execution in a single game session.
Nova Drift has been in development for almost 10 years, including 5 years on Steam Early Access, which it will leave in late 2024 and see its official 1.0 release.
The game is currently 65% off, and will be so until March 23rd. This is the deepest discount the game will have for all of 2024.
