The Supernova patch was released to rectify this, bringing the PC version to content parity with the mobile "HD" version, and adding features specifically tuned for mouse/keyboard and larger displays.
Before diving into the technicalities, let’s establish the context. Galaxy On Fire 2 was originally developed by Fishlabs Entertainment (now Deep Silver Fishlabs). The "Supernova" edition is essentially the complete compilation. It includes the base game plus the three major DLC expansions: Let’s address the elephant in the room
