Stellar Mercenaries has just launched an exciting new upgrade, introducing the Jupiter Expansion that nearly doubles the game's content. This expansion brings more worlds, enemies, and missions for players to explore and conquer.
For those new to the game, Stellar Mercenaries is a thrilling vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter. Players embark on procedurally generated missions, customize their ships and weapons, and strive 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 iconic moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into new battlegrounds, each presenting unique challenges. Ganymede is a barren wasteland, Io is covered in volcanic debris, and Europa is frozen and treacherous, while Jupiter itself is full of storms.
Two new factions have been introduced: 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 to Stellar Mercenaries, featuring diverse objectives such as hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort missions, and train defense missions.
Players can now choose from six brand-new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. The arsenal expands with new weapons like the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.
