★★★★★positiveJason Allen · 2026-08-27 · v1.2.374
Incredible game if you love this style/genre. The developer is very responsive to bug reports.
★★★★★positiveMatthew Hyndman · 2026-07-31 · v1.2.374
I've played this game a bunch on PC and it's great - tons of build variety and interesting ship and enemy design. It seems to handle pretty well just playing with joystick control on my phone now.
★★★★★positiveHunter Fyfe · 2026-07-20 · v1.2.374
It's extremely fun the mobile controls are good and i've always wanted to play this game after I saw a youtuber play it.
★★★★★positiveT B · 2026-07-16 · v1.2.374
amazing
★★★★★positivejason mahar · 2026-07-07 · v1.2.374
Buy this game!!!! Nova Drift is literally one of the best games on Google play. I've been playing for a couple of weeks and can't stop. I've played it every night after work just about. Nova Drift is highly addictive and rewarding with the numerous unlockables. Flying Tank is my favorite game on android but this game is second to that favorite. The graphical effects and vibrant colors are indeed beautiful!!! It's difficult to convey how amazing this game is in just 500 letters. Try it for free.
★★★★★positiveDevin Beaudua · 2026-06-24 · v1.2.374
I don't usually take the time to rate games. Typically nothing leaves an impression on me. But Nova Drift is next level. You look at it and on the surface it looks so simple. The devs, have just ABSOLUTELY nailed it. I haven't played such a good game in ages. The customization/theory crafting for your next run makes it so hard to put down. When I see a 5 star rating on a game I think to myself, meh not that good. Nova Drift 100% deserves all 5 stars. THANK YOU for creating such an amazing game.
★★★★★positivePJ Sau · 2026-06-13 · v1.2.374
would be perfect to play if made to be played in portrait mode as well
★★★★★positiveJoshua Sabra · 2026-05-13 · v1.2.374

★★★★★positiveJay Dubster · 2026-04-22 · v1.2.373
Crackin lil old skool game with a modern twist. Great graphics & fun gameplay. Free version is great, quickly paid the small fee to go pro 😁
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingOlivia Lescarbeau · 2026-04-17 · v1.2.370
shut up and take my money. yay! :)
★★★★★positiveTrent Crisp · 2026-04-16 · v1.2.370
Great screen mirror game. Dont need anything but a smart tv and a console controller. As for the game itself. I got a few hundred hours in it on pc but miss having this in the living room so this will do. This is the best asteroids game ever made.
★★★★★positiveJosh Cohen · 2026-04-10 · v1.2.370
An amazing game I've been a fan of for a long time on PC, and I'm so happy to see it on mobile platforms!! The level of customization the touch control editor has is incredible, and you can really tailor it to your exact desires! However, I would really like the joystick to respond to any touch in its area, rather than requiring you to drag from the center outwards.
★★★★★positiveBogdan Matvieiev · 2026-04-07 · v1.2.370
Played on Pc around 100 hours. Recommend.
★★★★★positiveElijah Lové · 2026-04-06 · v1.2.370
I've been waiting for a quality arcade style game like this for mobile since Geometry Wars. This is a high quality rougue-lite space shooter game that has great replay value. The controls are very adjustable, a big deal for mobile games. There's plenty of upgrades and mods, which allows you to choose certain play styles and builds each playthrough. The first time I played I beat it, but haven't been able to do it since. After beating the game I unlocked endless mode, which expands the game ∞ 5/5
★★★★★positiveYubari Raticate · 2026-04-03 · v1.2.370
Extremely good port of one of my favorite games. The touch controls didn't take as much getting used to as I expected and they're very customizable. The only performance hits I've had so far have been lag from stupid amounts of projectiles hitting a boss which is to be expected, and very brief when it happens. Apparently theres a fix in the works for that already. I haven't played on my phone yet but it works well on my XP Pen drawing tablet lol. Support Nova Drift!!!!! The ost is bangin!!!!!
★★★★★positiveCraig Allen · 2026-03-31 · v1.2.370
Great game! There is a free demo version too. Nice combination of action, a strategic upgrade system, complex enemies, different game modes, and scoring... in space!!! I've only had it a few days, and have already put many hours into it. UPDATE: You can now save your game mid-run and come back to it later, awesome!
★★★★★positiveCopernican · 2026-03-20 · v1.2.346
great mobile implementation of a top 3 steam roguelike: some pros: -great sound design- -very smooth and optimised- -all controls are fully customizable -lots of enemy variation- -many upgrades (mods) and gear options- -no two runs are the exact same- -straightforward, non-complex account progression- -so many interactions with different mods- -getting a build together to cause mass space annihilation brings great enjoyment- notable: -some bosses and enemies are weaker than they should be-
★★★★★positivesimon hughes · 2026-03-20 · v1.2.346
A unique rogue lite experience. Fun, and practical, computationally. My 5-6 year old computer can run it, as can my mp3. I don't care what game you like, if you like games at all, you will enjoy. (I would advise a BT controler for mobile, like Xbox) Would be appreciated though if mouse controls were available for my Chromebook, even though it thinks its mobile.
★★★★★positiveCharlie Cosper · 2026-03-16 · v1.2.346
This game is criminally underrated! If you are remotely interested in shoot-them ups, then this is a must buy. I'm looking forward to double dipping on the console ports!
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingMax Morris · 2026-03-15 · v1.2.346
Have this on steam, absolutely amazing game with so much customisation, take my money.
★★★★★positiveElysium · 2026-03-15 · v1.2.346
One of the greatest roguelites on Steam, now brought to mobile in an amazing port. You'll want a controller though for sure.
★★★★★positiveJay V · 2026-03-12 · v1.2.344
Holy hell, this is so weird. I have this on Steam and loved it... kept saying how amazing it would be to have this as an app on my phone. BOOM. Amazing game.
★★★★★positiveRobert Parker · 2026-03-12 · v1.2.344
Great port, played a lot of the PC version and this feels faithful
★★★★★positiveJan Will · 2026-03-11 · v1.2.344
Its as good on a tablet as it is on PC (with small ui/button issues). Great way to support the devs if u own it there and a must have for all mobile only players!
