    Nova Drift distills the mechanical depth and strategy of an ARPG 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.
    The Let's Try series is a way to preview / review games in order to get my first impressions through the first moments of gameplay.

    Nova Drift is a 'rogue-lite' space shooter that melds a classic arcade experience with modern action-RPG elements like theory-crafting and deep player choice. 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 ARPGs which can absorb hundreds of hours of time, Nova Drift allows you to take a ship build from inception to execution in a single game session.
    Features
    Create a unique build every run. Games are quick, allowing for rapid experimentation, iteration, and advancement.
    Cunning and creativity are rewarded as you chain upgrade modules for powerful synergies, reminiscent of deck-building games.
    Access over 200 modular upgrades as you progress and expand your arsenal.
    Build to play how you want. Snipe, command a drone army, discharge your shields, charge up, burn enemies with your thrusters, or smash right through them... there's a way to make it work.
    Unlock various challenge modes, providing greater risk and rewards. The stakes are high, as death is permanent!
    Every game is randomly generated, keeping the fight intense and unpredictable. Fight through the campaign or play endlessly...

      Congratulations on finally dropping in 1.0! You have really made an absolute juggernaut in the genre, hope you have a well deserved break ahead of you!

      Ive been playing this game for ages, I had no idea it was still in pre-release! I’ll have to boot it up again soon!

    • @UsernameXOXO
      @UsernameXOXO Před 27 dny

      Thanks for releasing! I've been anticipating this for years.

      I hope this hits Switch someday :D

  • @lunarjie2961
    @lunarjie2961 Před 28 dny +64

    I would love a little mini series of this for the full release. So glad it’s finally 1.0

  • @salimshatila1595
    @salimshatila1595 Před 28 dny +30

    reto PLEASE make this into a series if you see that this has enough changes from the early access!

  • @tiagopassarela
    @tiagopassarela Před 28 dny +28

    crash builds are kinda hard to pull off but when you do they are so much fun

  • @Potatezone
    @Potatezone Před 28 dny +35

    I had no idea this game was in early access, it just seemed finished. Good stuff!

  • @irvine5732
    @irvine5732 Před 28 dny +19

    Crazy that this is just now getting a 1.0 release. Probably going to have to grab this when I get home. It's so cool how many different builds can go down in this game.

    • @irvine5732
      @irvine5732 Před 28 dny +1

      Played for about 3 hours once I got home. I just wanted to keep doing run after run. I ended up getting my last run of the night to Star Eater using a hilarious build like the one in this video of Firefly and Thermal Lance with lots of burn and crashing nonsense. Fun stuff.

  • @archangelkiragis
    @archangelkiragis Před 28 dny +11

    Additional projectiles does increase the bullets you create when you break bullets with your swords. There's a funny build there where you counter enemy attacks to fill the screen with bullets. Might not get very far, but it'd be fun to play for sure.

  • @BuzzaB77
    @BuzzaB77 Před 28 dny +12

    Can you imagine the start of this?
    "Hey I got a great idea, asteroids but as a rougelite, should be simple enough...."

  • @johnstrine
    @johnstrine Před 27 dny +6

    The more projectiles upgrade was increasing the number of shots you fired back when you hit enemy projectiles with your swords to deflect them.

  • @Lucy39236
    @Lucy39236 Před 28 dny +7

    Please do a series of this game, it’s a great game and I want to start watching a series of yours again

  • @MetalMockingjay
    @MetalMockingjay Před 27 dny +3

    My favorite part was when he said "it's drifting time" and nova drifted the Star Eater.

  • @GaloKaineRey
    @GaloKaineRey Před 28 dny +6

    Love to see nova drift lately, been doing some Engineer Quad Sword build with Interceptor Swordsman backups and it wrecks shit up...

  • @ultimateprogamer5843
    @ultimateprogamer5843 Před 28 dny +7

    I'd absolutely love and adore to see another series on this game i loved you playing it previously.

  • @noorh9159
    @noorh9159 Před 28 dny +4

  • @Derplordington
    @Derplordington Před 28 dny +2

  • @roguewolven
    @roguewolven Před 14 dny

    Ah, I love this game. Major props to the dev for the final release of one of my favorite games! And nice build Reto, that was some solid crash damage.

  • @MIC132MIC
    @MIC132MIC Před 27 dny +1

    You get extra swords for extra cannons, so you would get more if you picked the hull that fires from both broadsides.

  • @meep9738
    @meep9738 Před 28 dny +4

    Yes love to see this game in 1.0 status give us a few more runs at least and show off some new stuff. And an Araxia run where you dont spend upgrade points at all once you get it.

  • @Junogray
    @Junogray Před 26 dny

    would love to see some more wild builds, with moderation of course, we know you have lots of other gems to show off

  • @anthonydalporto9742
    @anthonydalporto9742 Před 28 dny

    think added projectiles multiplied the reflected projectiles, so when you hit a bullet with the swords it shot back 3 weaker bullets.

  • @daytonjob5519
    @daytonjob5519 Před 27 dny

    Good vid. Would be interested to see more.

  • @Kraus-
    @Kraus- Před 28 dny

    To get more swords you can use a body like the battery or broadsider.

    @viziroth Před 26 dny

    so you actually need to swing the swords or can you just fly by and run them through enemies?

  • @Dracobyte

  • @MarkoVuckovic32
    @MarkoVuckovic32 Před 27 dny

    Did this really had to release now? I literally have so many games to play and this will unfortunately have to wait for a long time but I was looking forward to 1.0 release ever since I discovered this game a few years ago.
