Stellar Mercenaries has just launched a thrilling new update with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content. This expansion brings more worlds, enemies, and missions to the vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter. If you haven't yet explored Stellar Mercenaries, you'll find yourself taking on procedurally generated missions, customizing your ships and weapons, and striving 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—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into new battlegrounds, each with unique challenges. Ganymede presents a barren wasteland, Io is covered in volcanic debris, Europa is frozen and treacherous, and Jupiter itself is full of raging storms.
Two new factions join the fray: the Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to control the region, and the Pirate Council, a chaotic alliance of outlaws.
The expansion adds 50 new missions with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort, and train defense missions. Players can now choose from six new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker, along with an arsenal of new weapons such as the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.
There Are New Hazards, Shields, and More
The update introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, enhancing your defensive capabilities. New hazards to navigate include asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have also leveled up, introducing the new Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk classes.
Additionally, the expansion enriches the game's atmosphere with 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system. Dive into the expanded universe of Stellar Mercenaries, available now on the Google Play Store, where a wealth of new content awaits!
