Let's Try: Nova Drift
Full disclosure: I was given a key to this game by the developer. My review is honest, but I just wanna get that out there.
Have you ever thought to yourself: Asteroids was a great game, but what it really needed was an evolution mechanic to really mess with the base game, and also a really tight visual upgrade? And also enemies that shoot back? If you thought yes to one or more of those then have I got a game for you!
Nova Drift is, on it's surface something akin to Asteroids or Geometry Wars, but it quickly deviates from them by way of a levelling mechanic that allows you to juice up your ship in a myriad of fun ways. Beyond that, there are a whole slew of unlockables as you score higher in the game, as well as different game modes to further complicate the core game loop.
I had a real blast learning this game, and whilst I don't think I'll revisit it on stream any time soon, I can totally see myself playing more of it on my own time. Also: This should be a switch title. It _screams_ "Switch Title".
