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.

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.5 found this helpful

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/pNtXPKY4cco2 found this helpful
