don't worry Jack, I beat all of the first three dark souls games with a spear and shield my first time around and that was eight years ago. I haven't used a shield since. it just naturally comes to you to try different play styles eventually

Marty - your quote about Meta should have been: 'Meta taketh - Meta killeth'.

Having put a lot of hours into Nova Drift, I feel like it suffers from the same issue a lot of Arcade Roguelites have- figuring out optimum upgrade paths is more fun than the actual gameplay loop. The game is very well made and a lot of time was put into it, but the gameplay loop still suffers from repetitiveness. Even the different damage strats, like mines, ramming, and DOT don't really seem fix the core problem. Fewer but more meaningful upgrades, different arenas, and discrete stages (a la Boneraiser Minions or FTL) would have helped.
