About the game:

Nova Drift is a roguelite space shooter that melds a classic arcade experience with modern 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.

Nova Drift started development in 2014, launched into Early Access in March of 2019, and will finally release version 1.0 on August 12, 2024.  The culmination of 10 years of mostly solo development and heavy community involvement, Nova Drift features a mechanical complexity and depth rarely seen in a project made by a team so small.
