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

Stellar Mercenaries has just launched a thrilling new update with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content and bringing the battle to the solar system's largest planet. If you're new to the game, Stellar Mercenaries is an engaging vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter where you undertake procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and strive to become the most feared mercenary across the solar system.

What's New in the Jupiter Expansion of Stellar Mercenaries?

The Jupiter Expansion transforms Jupiter and its moons—Ganymede, Io, and Europa—into dynamic battlegrounds. Each moon presents unique challenges: Ganymede is a barren wasteland, Io is littered with volcanic debris, and Europa is a frozen, treacherous landscape. Jupiter itself is rife with storms, adding to the intensity of your missions.

Two new factions have emerged in this expansion. The Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to dominate the region, and the Pirate Council, a chaotic alliance of outlaws, add new layers of conflict and intrigue to the game.

With the expansion, Stellar Mercenaries introduces 50 new missions, each with diverse objectives. Engage in hyperspace hunting to track down elusive targets, participate in piracy and escort missions, or defend trains against enemy attacks.

The update also introduces six new ships: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Enhance your arsenal with new weapons like the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.

There Are New Hazards, Shields, and More

The expansion brings Tier 4 shields and armor to the game, enhancing your defense capabilities. New hazards await, including asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the formidable Pacifier. Some enemy mercenaries have been upgraded, introducing new classes such as Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk, making battles more challenging and rewarding.

Additionally, the Jupiter Expansion enriches the game with 14 new music tracks and introduces a new side missions system, providing even more content for players to explore.
