"Stellar Mercenaries Launches Jupiter Expansion for Vertical-Scrolling Shooter"

Stellar Mercenaries has just launched an exciting new upgrade with the Jupiter Expansion, dramatically expanding the game's universe by nearly doubling its content. This thrilling update brings new worlds, enemies, and missions to the vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter, where players embark on procedurally generated missions, customize their ships and weapons, and aim 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 epic battlegrounds. Each moon presents its unique challenges: Ganymede, a barren wasteland; Io, covered in volcanic debris; and Europa, a frozen and treacherous terrain. Jupiter itself is a storm-filled arena, adding to the intensity of the gameplay.

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. The expansion introduces 50 new missions, including hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort missions, and train defense missions, ensuring diverse and engaging objectives for players.

Additionally, six new ships have been added to the game: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. The update also brings an array of new weapons, such as the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam, enhancing your arsenal and tactical options.

There Are New Hazards, Shields, and More

The Jupiter Expansion 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 to new classes, including Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk, intensifying the challenge.

To enhance the immersive experience, the expansion adds 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system. Dive into the expanded universe of Stellar Mercenaries by checking out the game on the Google Play Store—there's a wealth of new content waiting to be explored!
