Stellar Mercenaries has just rolled out an epic upgrade with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content. This exciting update introduces new worlds, enemies, and missions to explore, intensifying the vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter experience. If you haven't dived into Stellar Mercenaries yet, you're in for a treat. You'll engage in procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and rise to become the most feared mercenary across the solar system.

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

The expansion transforms Jupiter and its famous moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into thrilling battlegrounds. Each moon presents unique challenges: Ganymede, a barren wasteland; Io, blanketed in volcanic debris; and Europa, a frozen and treacherous landscape. Meanwhile, Jupiter itself is a stormy arena ripe for conquest.

Two new factions enter the fray: the Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to dominate the region, and the Pirate Council, a chaotic alliance of outlaws seeking to exploit it. The expansion enriches the game with 50 new missions, featuring diverse objectives such as hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort missions, and train defense.

Enhance your fleet with six new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Arm yourself with an arsenal of new weapons including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.

New Hazards, Shields, and More

The update also brings Tier 4 shields and armor to the game, along with new hazards such as asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have leveled up, introducing new classes like Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk, adding an extra layer of challenge.

To enhance your gaming experience, the expansion includes 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system. Don't miss out on all the action—check out Stellar Mercenaries on the Google Play Store and dive into this expanded universe today!
