Jupiter Expansion Launches for Stellar Mercenaries

Prepare for liftoff! Stellar Mercenaries has just received a massive upgrade with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content. Get ready for more worlds, enemies, and missions than ever before!

If you haven't experienced Stellar Mercenaries yet, it's a vertically scrolling action arcade space shooter where you tackle procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and rise to become the solar system's most feared mercenary.

What's New in the Jupiter Expansion?

Jupiter itself becomes a thrilling battleground, along with its iconic moons: Ganymede (a barren wasteland), Io (volcanic and treacherous), and Europa (frozen and unforgiving). Jupiter's own swirling storms add another layer of challenge.

Two new factions join the fray: the powerful Jovian Empire, aiming to control the region, and the chaotic Pirate Council, a ragtag alliance of outlaws.

The expansion delivers 50 brand-new missions with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunts, piracy missions, escort missions, and even base defense.

Six impressive new ships—the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker—join your arsenal, alongside a suite of powerful new weapons: the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.

Get a sneak peek at the action:

New Hazards, Shields, and More!

The update introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, along with challenging new hazards: asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Even the enemy mercenaries have received upgrades, with the introduction of Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk classes.

Finally, 14 new music tracks enhance the experience, and a new side missions system adds even more depth. Download Stellar Mercenaries from the Google Play Store and prepare for an epic adventure!
