Nova Strike

Nova Strike is a roguelite space shooter made for one thumb. Drag anywhere to fly, your ship fires on its own, and every orb you collect brings the next level-up: pick one of three upgrades and watch your build snowball. Split shots, homing missiles, escort drones, piercing rounds, a screen-long Nova Beam and more. CAMPAIGN: 5 SECTORS, 50 STAGES Fight through Azure Reach, Ember Wastes, Verdant Belt, Void Rift and Solaris Crown. Twelve enemy types hunt you differently: strikers dive at your column, sentinels hug the screen edges and rake across, mortars lob shells from above. Anything you dodge instead of killing comes back as the stage's final wave. BOSSES THAT FIGHT BACK Every sector ends with a multi-phase boss. The Dreadnought raises an energy shield and launches escorts, the Hive Queen keeps spawning brood that fights beside her, and the Obsidian Core seals itself behind a crystal shell and calls in edge sentinels. These are long fights, not health bars. ASTEROID FIELDS Now and then the enemies stop coming and the rocks start. Small ones can be shot, big magma asteroids cannot: touch one and the run is over, whatever ship you fly or upgrades you carry. ENDLESS MODE AND LEADERBOARDS Survive escalating waves, take down a boss every ten waves and post your best run to the weekly and all-time boards. The weekly board resets every Monday, so there is always a fresh race to the top. SEVEN SHIPS, ONE HANGAR Falcon, Viper, Titan, Phantom, Kestrel, Leviathan and Aurora each fly differently: burst fire, a regenerating shield, phasing critical hits, siege cannons or twin escort drones. Build one up before the next unlocks. Spend coins on hull plating, cannon power, cycle rate and thrusters, and on talents that apply to every ship. 18 IN-RUN UPGRADES, 5 PERMANENT PERKS Overcharge, Rapid Fire, Split Shot, Piercing Rounds, Homing Missiles, Escort Drone, Energy Shield, Field Repair, Tractor Beam, Precision Targeting, Afterburner, Plasma Rounds, Siphon, Explosive Rounds, Nova Beam, Ricochet, Data Uplink and Salvage Rights. Five of them can be bought outright so every future run starts with them. COME BACK FOR MORE A daily spin for coins, gems, chests and next-run boosts. A free chest every 4 hours, a salvage bay that earns coins while you are away, daily and weekly missions, a 7-day login calendar with escalating rewards, streak shields and 35 achievements. MADE FOR PHONES Smooth arcade action in portrait, one-handed controls, a reduce-motion option, haptics you can turn off, and cloud saves so your progress follows you. No sign-up needed: play as a guest and link an e-mail later to restore your pilot on any device. FAIR AND HONEST Nova Strike is free to play. Rewarded ads are optional (double your coins, revive once per run, reroll your upgrade cards, take an extra spin) and short interstitials only appear between runs. Gems and the Nova Pass subscription are optional extras, chests show their drop odds before you open them, and the campaign and endless mode are fully playable offline.
