Original game imageAbout
A remake of Galaxy on Fire 2 in Unity 6 for Windows (also as a UWP app), Linux and Android, aiming to be a faithful port of the original gameplay. It is built on the original assets and on game logic ported from the decompiled game code. The main campaign and the Valkyrie and Supernova add-ons can be played from start to end, though the Supernova add-on has not been fully played through yet.
How it differs from the original
It adds New Game+, optional pirate events, four difficulties, a Dutch translation, photo mode and a choice between PC and Android economies. It also adds experimental multiplayer with a server browser and dedicated servers, experimental PC VR through OpenXR, and mod support for items, ships, star systems and whole campaigns.
