Stellar Mercenaries, the Vertical-Scrolling Space Shooter, Drops a New Jupiter Expansion

The highly anticipated Jupiter Expansion for *Stellar Mercenaries* has landed, nearly doubling the game's content and bringing the battle to the largest planet in our solar system. If you're new to the game, *Stellar Mercenaries* is an exhilarating vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter where you tackle 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 expansion transforms Jupiter and its moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into new battlegrounds, each with unique challenges. Ganymede presents a barren wasteland, Io is engulfed in volcanic debris, and Europa offers a frozen and treacherous landscape, while Jupiter itself is characterized by its intense 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 with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort duties, and train defense missions.

Six new ships are now available: Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Additionally, new weapons such as the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam have been added to your arsenal.

There Are New Hazards, Shields, and More

The update enhances your defensive capabilities with Tier 4 shields and armor. New hazards include navigating through asteroid fields, facing elite enemy squadrons, and dealing with the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have leveled up, introducing new classes like Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk.

Additionally, the expansion enriches the game's atmosphere with 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system. Dive into the expanded universe of *Stellar Mercenaries* by downloading it from the Google Play Store today and explore all the new content waiting for you!
