Nova Drift distills the mechanical depth of an action RPG into classic arcade space combat. Control an endlessly evolving bio-mechanical ship, face legions of strange and deadly foes, and ride the wake of a dying star across the void.

Runs well on modern hardware.

I've heard roguelikes described as the modern evolution of arcade games. This is the game that those people were talking about.
Very chill asteroids-themed rougelike, definitely worth buying. Just enough metaprogression to encourage you to learn more of the game but not so much that it feels like a burden. 10/10 :3
I want to love this game but the fact that there is NO SENSITIVITY CONTROL for controllers makes it practically impossible to play on a controller if your settings are too low or high. Maybe this is something they will fix but at the moment if want to play this on the controller I would pass until its fixed :(
