Highly rated space roguelike Nova Drift launches new Steam demo

Nova Drift

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.

When I think of the best space games, I imagine fast, frantic combat with missiles and lasers flying across the stars - I'll always be more enamored by the speed of Everspace 2's action than the lumbering weight of Starfield ships. Further distilling that essence down, Nova Drift is a high-octane roguelike that finally launched out of early access in 2024 after five years. It's bright, snappy, and beautiful, and has earned itself the elusive 'overwhelmingly positive' Steam rating, with 95% of its 11,000 reviews recommending it. Now you can try before you buy, as developer Chimeric launches a free demo.
