Winter Wolves Studio has released an updated demo of Supernova 2: Spacewar, a sci-fi strategy game featuring a main part mainly based on the macromanagement of your space empire.
Supernova 2: Spacewar is a sci-fi strategy game featuring a main part mainly based on the macromanagement of your space empire, and a classical turn based wargame part when a fight occurs. You'll have to manage carefully your resources, balancing several aspects like researching new technologies, training better troops, raising the people loyalty in your empire, and building the ultimate fleet to conquer the galaxy!

added the “Statistics Screen” where you can see various interesting statistics about your current game like battles win/lost, total ship killed/lost, and so on
