Stellar Mercenaries has just rolled out an exciting new update with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content and bringing the action to the solar system's largest planet. If you haven't yet experienced this vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter, now's the perfect time to dive in. In Stellar Mercenaries, you'll tackle procedurally generated missions, customize your 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 the planet Jupiter and its moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into new battlegrounds, each with unique challenges. Ganymede is a barren wasteland, Io is covered in volcanic debris, and Europa is a frozen, treacherous landscape, while Jupiter itself is known for its fierce storms.
Two new factions have entered the fray: the Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to control 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 pilot six new ships: the 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 introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, along with new hazards like asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have been upgraded, introducing new classes such as Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk.
Furthermore, the Jupiter Expansion enriches the game's soundtrack with 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system. Don't miss out on all the thrilling additions—check out Stellar Mercenaries on the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in the expanded universe!
