Stellar Mercenaries has just launched a thrilling new upgrade with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content. This update introduces players to new worlds, enemies, and a plethora of missions, enhancing the vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter experience. If you haven't yet explored Stellar Mercenaries, now is the perfect time to dive in and customize your ships and weapons as you take on procedurally generated missions 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 gas giant and its moons into dynamic battlegrounds. Each moon presents unique challenges: Ganymede is a barren wasteland, Io is littered with volcanic debris, and Europa is a frozen, treacherous landscape. Meanwhile, Jupiter itself is teeming with fierce storms, adding a layer of intensity to your missions.
Two new factions have emerged to challenge players: 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 with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort duties, and train defense missions, ensuring varied gameplay experiences.
Players can now pilot six brand-new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Arm yourself with an array of new weapons such as the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam, enhancing your combat capabilities.
There Are New Hazards, Shields, and More
The update also introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, providing players with enhanced protection. New hazards such as asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier add to the challenge. Some enemy mercenaries have been upgraded, with new classes like Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk making their debut.
To complement the expanded gameplay, the Jupiter Expansion adds 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system, enriching the overall experience. Don't miss out on this expansive update—check out Stellar Mercenaries on the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in the action!
