Get ready to take your space battles to new heights with the latest upgrade to Stellar Mercenaries—the Jupiter Expansion. This massive update nearly doubles the game's content, introducing more worlds, enemies, and missions for you to conquer.
For those new to the game, Stellar Mercenaries is an exhilarating vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter. You'll navigate through procedurally generated missions, customizing your ships and weapons to become the most feared mercenary in the solar system.
What's New in the Jupiter Expansion of Stellar Mercenaries?
The expansion transforms Jupiter and its moons into battlegrounds. Each moon presents 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 an extra layer of difficulty and excitement to your missions.
Two new factions join the fray: the Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to control the region, and the Pirate Council, a chaotic alliance of outlaws. This expansion also introduces 50 new missions, featuring diverse objectives such as hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort, and train defense missions.
Enhance your fleet with six new ships: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Arm yourself with new weapons like the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.
