The much-anticipated Jupiter Expansion for Stellar Mercenaries has landed, bringing an expansive new dimension to this thrilling vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter. This upgrade nearly doubles the game's content, introducing more worlds, enemies, and missions than ever before.
For those yet to explore Stellar Mercenaries, it's a game where you embark on procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and strive to become the most feared mercenary across the solar system.
What’s New in the Jupiter Expansion of Stellar Mercenaries?
The Jupiter Expansion transforms Jupiter and its notable moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into dynamic battlegrounds. Each moon presents its unique challenges: Ganymede with its barren wastelands, Io littered with volcanic debris, and the icy, treacherous terrain of Europa. Jupiter itself is fraught with raging storms, adding a thrilling layer of difficulty to your missions.
Two new factions have entered the fray. The Jovian Empire seeks to dominate the region with its formidable military might, while the Pirate Council, a tumultuous band of outlaws, adds an element of unpredictability to the mix.
The expansion enriches the game with 50 new missions, featuring diverse objectives like hyperspace hunting for elusive targets, piracy, escort missions, and even train defense scenarios.
Players can now pilot six new ships: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. The arsenal expands with 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 also introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, enhancing your defensive capabilities. New hazards await, including asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have been upgraded, introducing the new Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk classes, making your battles even more challenging and rewarding.
Adding to the immersive experience, the expansion includes 14 new music tracks and a new side mission system. Dive into this expanded universe by downloading Stellar Mercenaries on the Google Play Store and explore the vast new content awaiting you!
