Stellar Mercenaries Unveils Jupiter Expansion for Space Shooter

Stellar Mercenaries has just received a thrilling upgrade with the Jupiter Expansion, significantly enhancing the game's content. This expansion nearly doubles the game's offerings, introducing new worlds, enemies, and a plethora of missions to keep players engaged.

For those new to the game, Stellar Mercenaries is a dynamic vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter. Players embark on procedurally generated missions, customize their ships and weapons, and strive to become the most feared mercenary in the solar system.

What’s New in the Jupiter Expansion of Stellar Mercenaries?

The Jupiter Expansion transforms Jupiter and its moons into active battlegrounds. Each moon presents unique challenges: Ganymede, a barren wasteland; Io, covered in volcanic debris; and Europa, a frozen and treacherous landscape. Jupiter itself is teeming with storms, adding to the intensity of the battles.

Two new factions join the fray: the Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to dominate the region, and the Pirate Council, a chaotic alliance of outlaws. This expansion introduces 50 new missions with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort missions, and train defense missions.

Players can now command six new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Additionally, the arsenal expands with new weapons such as the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.

New Hazards, Shields, and More

The update also introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, along with new hazards such as asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have been upgraded, introducing new classes like Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk.

To enhance the gaming experience, the Jupiter Expansion includes 14 new music tracks and a new side missions system. Dive into this expansive update by checking out Stellar Mercenaries on the Google Play Store.
