Verdict score based on confidence-adjusted Steam reviews?
Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam (96% positive from 14K reviews)
Outstanding soundtrack
Standout indie gem
Limited professional critic coverage
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.
