About Nova Strike
Nova Strike is a retro shoot 'em up that transports you to a distant galaxy where you face waves of increasingly powerful enemies. Because it is easy to pick up and play, has addictive gameplay, and generates different levels with each new game, you can enjoy hours of challenging fun. Every time you take off is a chance to unlock new upgrades and improve your ship. Try to beat your high score!
Destroy as many enemy ships as possible while skilfully dodging their attacking fire. After defeating mighty armadas, a formidable boss stands in your way. You need to watch, learn and anticipate the attacks of each boss to stand a chance of defeating them. Push yourself to your limits to complete the perfect run and beat the high score.
Your ship has nine secondary weapons to unlock and equip as well as some 40 defensive and attacking skills. From missiles to grenades to electric forcefields, every upgrade creates a different game experience. Build a ship to suit your style and refine it between each level during your stops at the spaceport. Every customization radically changes the tactics you need for annihilating enemy squadrons. Choose carefully and find the best configurations to suit your play style.
Play and play again: every Game Over is the start of a new adventure. Using the persistent points you earn with each run, unlock new weapons and skills, then start a new game to explore a fresh procedurally generated map. Come back stronger and stronger until you can confront the final boss and save the galaxy!

Nova Strike is a fast-paced roguelite shoot ’em up that successfully combines retro arcade action with modern progression systems and randomized gameplay structure. Developed by Sanuk Games and published by Nacon, the game places players inside a dangerous galaxy overwhelmed by hostile fleets, forcing them to survive endless waves of enemies while gradually upgrading their ship through repeated runs. While its core design clearly takes inspiration from classic arcade shooters, Nova Strike modernizes the formula through procedural generation, persistent upgrades, and extensive weapon customization that help give the game strong replay value. The gameplay immediately establishes a rapid and energetic pace. Enemy ships swarm the screen from multiple directions while lasers, missiles, and bullet patterns constantly pressure players into staying mobile. Controls are responsive and easy to learn, making the game approachable even for players unfamiliar with bullet-heavy arcade shooters. Movement feels smooth, weapons fire with satisfying impact, and dodging enemy attacks creates the kind of intense rhythm that defines the best arcade-inspired shooters. One of the game’s strongest featu…
divertido relajante y se puede retomar despues de un largo tiempo sin ningun problema
Great game for quick fun and relax. Patience and nerves of steel can help you enjoy longer sessions! Simple challenging fun. Wish it was a little bit less punishing.
I like it! Cute little shmup with a retro feel. Gonna keep playing to see how far I can get, but I like all the weapons. Ignore the other reviews saying 'they don't fire', they have a charge up time that needs to be held down.
Great game to switch off to! Brilliant work lads!
