Supernova 2

One of the games I will never forget is Transport Tycoon, and despite the fact this can't be happening, every time I see a game involving the "tycoon" word, I have to take a look at it, even if it doesn't have anything in common with that brilliant title I just mentioned. Supernova 2: Spacewar is the game I want to tell you about today, and it comes from Tycoon Games, but this is not the only link to Transport Tycoon, because this space wargame is combined with a resource micromanagement simulation!

Supernova 2 Starwar

According to Riva Celso, programmer/designer of Tycoon Games, "After the first title, I wanted to shift genre completely, making a turn-based space wargame, integrated with a resource macromanagement part. I wanted to keep the management part simple, with global variables affecting your whole empire rather than managing every single planet. It is my first game for the Tycoon Games website, which will feature exclusively strategy, simulation and war games."

Supernova 2 has the following features:

- Two selectable factions (Blue Army and Blood Legion) each one with unique tech and units
- Macro management part using resource distribution
- Tech research tree to discover multiple items
- Spacemap to explore and conquer other starsystems
- Full starsystem including planets of various kind: lava, barren, gaia, water, gas, and more
- Turn based battles with different battlefield conditions for great replayability and unique emphasys on turning / facing
- Easy Training Camp option to learn all the secret of the wargame part
- Upon study of alien relics you'll be able to use unique special weapons that do special damage
- Unlimited lifetime updates!

All the above is available for PC and Mac users, for a mere $25. If you want to purchase, download a demo, or find out more about the game, there's only one answer to that question: TycoonGames.eu!
