About Nova Survivors: A space horde-survival roguelite where the 21 ships aren't skins: each flies its own weapon, ultimate and role, so the same cards build wildly different runs. Chain evolutions and artifacts through a 100-level campaign and endless Survival, and hold out until your build breaks the game.
