Read full descriptionHide full description
Nova Lancer is an offline arcade space shooter. Drag to fly. Your cannons fire on their own. Twenty missions. Over 15,000 enemies. Nineteen boss encounters. Every wave was placed by hand, not generated — so each mission has its own shape: where it opens quiet, where it lets you breathe, and where it stops giving you room. BOSSES Three classes of capital ship, each with its own attack patterns and a warning on the way in. The larger ones arrive with an escort wing flying formation around the hull. Bosses shed supplies as you damage them. HANGAR - Ten ships, each with its own hull strength and weapon grade, printed on the card - Two wingmen to hire and upgrade — they scale with your firepower instead of falling behind - Weapon grades that open your fire from one shot into a spread across three cannons NO STRINGS - Completely offline - No ads - No in-app purchases - No account, nothing collected about you Every ship, every wingman, every upgrade is earned by playing.
