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

Stellar Mercenaries has just launched an exciting new upgrade with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content with more worlds, enemies, and missions. If you haven't experienced Stellar Mercenaries yet, it's a thrilling vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter where you engage in procedurally generated missions, customize your 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 new battlegrounds. Each moon presents unique challenges: Ganymede is a barren wasteland, Io is covered in volcanic debris, and Europa is a treacherous frozen landscape. Jupiter itself is teeming with storms, adding to the intensity of your missions.

Two new factions emerge with this expansion: the powerful Jovian Empire, aiming to secure the region, and the chaotic Pirate Council, an alliance of outlaws. Players can dive into 50 new missions with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort duties, and train defense.

The update introduces six new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Additionally, you can equip your ships 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 expansion also 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 been upgraded, introducing the new Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk classes.

To complement the expanded gameplay, 14 new music tracks have been added, along with a new side missions system. Don't miss out on the action—check out Stellar Mercenaries on the Google Play Store and dive into the vast new content available with the Jupiter Expansion!
