Stellar Mercenaries has just received a major upgrade, taking the action to the largest planet in our solar system. The Jupiter Expansion is here, nearly doubling the game’s content with new worlds, enemies and missions. If you haven’t explored it yet, Stellar Mercenaries is a vertically scrolling action arcade space shooter where you embark on procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and rise to become the most feared mercenary in the solar system.
What’s New in the Jupiter Expansion?
Jupiter transforms into a battleground, joined by its iconic moons—Ganymede, Io and Europa. Each location offers unique challenges: Ganymede is a desolate wasteland, Io is blanketed in volcanic debris, Europa is icy and perilous, while Jupiter itself is a stormy battlefield.
Two new factions have been introduced: the Jovian Empire, a formidable military force aiming to control the region, and the Pirate Council, a chaotic coalition of rogues.
The expansion brings 50 fresh missions to the game, featuring new objectives such as hyperspace hunting, piracy assignments, escort duties and even training defense operations.
Six全新飞船现已加入游戏阵容：Raider、Goblin、Mako、Boxer、Lightning和Skybreaker。武器库也得到了扩充，新增了Hyper Velocity Mortar、Plasma Seeker、EMP Rockets、Mauler Cannon、Electron Beam和Neutron Beam等装备。

Finally, this expansion adds 14 fresh music tracks to Stellar Mercenaries and introduces a new side mission system. Dive into the game on the Google Play Store—it’s packed with plenty to explore!
