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.

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...
Great Multiplayer Game. Had lots of fun with it.
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
