Space Drifters 2D
A faithful homage to arcade Asteroids that trades nostalgia for actual physics simulation, and mostly nails it.
GamerScout Verdict
Essential only for arcade purists and couch co-op devotees; everyone else should sample before buying.
Compare Prices(7 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Space Drifters 2D
I spent an evening with Space Drifters 2D expecting a retro skin, and instead found something deliberately austere: a top-down shooter where momentum is law, where your ship coasts and slides rather than responds to your thumbstick like a modern game promises. Every shot, every rotation, costs you velocity. It's austere in the best way, no juice, no screenshake, just you versus the inertia of space and rocks. The local co-op and versus modes (classic deathmatch fare) justify the split-screen setup, though the game knows it's small and doesn't pretend otherwise. It's a weekend project that respects your time by being exactly what it claims: Asteroids with friends, physics-first, no compromise. Perfect for anyone who wanted the arcade cabinet experience but with someone sitting next to you.
