Stardrift Nomads

A fun little top-down tower defense (station defense) shooter. Fight increasingly difficult waves of enemies/asteroids while protecting your station and collecting scrap. Bank the scrap to buy upgrades both for your ship and your station while both keeping the station's hull repaired and not losing all your colonists. Your character gets XP for permanent ship upgrades after each run and there is limited color customization for your ship. Two modes of play: Career with story missions and Survival where you try to make it through 20 waves alive (customizable objective). The 7 player co-op sounds like it would be a great deal of fun, but I was not able to examine this particular feature. The game is a bit expensive at $20 for what is currently available so you may want to wait for a sale. I'd also recommend using a controller.

Casual Space Shooter using dual control to play. Fun howerver can be a bit repetative.

So here is it, Simple clean... easy to digest. I was fortunate enough to get to join them on live stream while they were on twitch I was on youtube. And it was a blast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODKx9lz2oPA If you have friends that you have to play everything with, this was worth replaying with other people!

6/10 All of my time with Stardrift Nomads was spent in the campaign rather than skirmish modes. I played with a friend, and I used the Mechanic class, which seems to be geared towards building and repairing turrets and towers. For each class, you can choose a passive and four active abilities. As your character levels up, you gain access to more options in each of these categories. The game describes itself as a dual-stick shooter, but I leaned towards mouse/keyboard instead of my controller because of the precision that the game asked of you. I had hoped that Stardrift Nomads would weave a tale of some sort, but all of the missions seemed to be the same wave defense, against pirates and incoming asteroids. I can't confirm this, but it seems that perhaps you and your partner(s) are playing as dogs? At the very least, dogs seem to be regularly communicating with you and providing you orders. There are bosses at the end of some missions, and these require a bit more strategy, firepower, and timing with the abilities of your class. Certain types of enemies, such as pirates who shoot what might be described as artillery and carriers that release mini-ships, require focus and a change in strategy. Despite the lack of a real story trajectory, I enjoyed most of my time with Stardrift Nomads. I loved using the magnet towers, which can push asteroids away from your colony and lock enemies in place. Additionally, my abilities allowed me to drop multiple temporary turrets that could provide much additional firepower in a pinch. Lastly, the game has a neat soundtrack that actually reminded me of the Borderlands series of games. We eventually stopped with perhaps three missions to go in the campaign, as we hit an enormous difficulty spike. We failed a mission perhaps six times, using different loadouts and actually unlocking new abilities with the experience gained from our attempts. There aren't any checkpoints to speak of (not that there necessarily should be), so each failure was a bit demoralizing. It's possible that we could've aimed better, that we could've tried skill combinations we didn't think of, or even that the game lacks balance with only two players. Either way, we weren't invested enough to keep plugging away.

Great concept, I love that you can play with friends and overall a pretty good experience to scratch that shoot em up itch. I personally like the customization and having some different abilities and ship colors than other friends. I had a problem getting the Dualshock 4 to work with the game, but mouse and keyboard works like a dream. I suggest chekcing it out for $10 for sure, but waiting for a sale wouldn't be too bad either. I am enjoying it so far and will update after putting more time in to let you know if I got bored of it.

Great Multiplayer Game. Had lots of fun with it.

Stardrift Nomads es un juego de batallas espaciales al estilo defiende la torre, donde tomamos control de una nave para defender una pequeña estación del espacio frente a cientos de naves enemigas que vienen en oleadas, así asteroides que tienen como misión acabar con nuestra base interplanetaria. Su jugabilidad es simplista: twin stick shooter; si usamos un mando, nos movemos con el stick izquierdo y con el derecho apuntamos/disparamos, el botón LT/Left Shift tiene la función de permitirnos colocar pequeñas estructuras defensivas como torretas o paredes que evitan que los enemigos hagan daño a nuestro objetivo a defender. Al eliminar enemigos, estos arrojan pequeños objetos de chatarra que el jugador debe recolectar para vender y poder obtener fondos de modo que tenga la posibilidad de edificar más estructuras defensivas. También podemos mejorar nuestra nave a lo largo de las partidas, entre más trozos de chatarra recolectamos (eliminando enemigos o despedazando asteroides), más dinero obtenemos al completar cada ola de enemigos, este dinero puede ser utilizado para agregar más espacio de recolección de chatarra a nuestra pequeña nave, mejorar su resistencia al fuego hostil, etc. Cada ola se vuelve más fuerte, así que un buen manejo de las defensas y el dinero es necesario para no terminar las partidas en game over. Tras completar las partidas, se nos muestra una pantalla donde vemos datos de la partida recién finalizada, enemigos aniquilados, daño recibido, etc, entre mejor lo hagamos, nuestro personaje obtiene más experiencia que con la cual podemos hacer mejoras (permanentes) a nuestra nave, existe una pequeñísima (realmente diminuta) posibilidad de personalizar el color de la nave. Sus características multijugador en linea son lo mejor, el juego triplica su diversión cuando nos proponemos defender nuestra base junto con algún amigo, y a la misma vez se le da a su jugabilidad más posibilidades tácticas a la hora de hacer nuestro trabajo defensivo, pues si queremos podemos crear partidas con hasta 8 jugadores en pantalla. Stardrift Nomads fue desarrollado por el estudio independiente Risen Games y tiene un costo de $10.

It's a space shooter, you control a spaceship and shoot! Protect your base by shooting everything, except your friends if you have them because this is a multiplayer game as well, shoot together! https://youtu.be/pNtXPKY4cco

Jeu qui a l'air franchement bien, mais le mode multi joueur bug pour moi, quand j'invite un ami et que je lance la partie, cet ami se retrouve avec un écran noir et ne peut pas jouer avec moi. J'espère qu'il y aura un fix.

This game should have a sequel because is very decent with its Space Shooting and Tower Defense despite having 4 reviews is a great hidden gem to try
