"Stellar Mercenaries Launches Jupiter Expansion for Space Shooter Fans"

Stellar Mercenaries has just launched an exhilarating update with the Jupiter Expansion, nearly doubling the game's content. This expansion introduces players to a thrilling new battlefield on the largest planet in our solar system. If you're new to the game, Stellar Mercenaries is a dynamic vertical-scrolling action arcade space shooter where you embark on procedurally generated missions, customize your ships and weapons, and strive to become the most feared mercenary in 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 diverse battlegrounds. Each moon offers unique challenges: Ganymede is a barren wasteland, Io is blanketed in volcanic debris, and Europa presents a frozen and treacherous landscape. Meanwhile, Jupiter itself is teeming with fierce storms, adding an extra layer of difficulty to 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 coalition of outlaws, promise to shake up the power dynamics within the game.

With the expansion comes 50 new missions featuring diverse objectives such as hyperspace hunting, piracy, escort duties, and train defense. These missions will challenge your skills and strategic thinking as you navigate through the vast expanse of Jupiter and its moons.

Enhance your fleet with six new ships: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Arm yourself with an arsenal of new weapons including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam. These additions will give you the edge you need to conquer the new challenges ahead.

New Hazards, Shields, and More

The update doesn't stop at new missions and ships. It also introduces Tier 4 shields and armor, enhancing your defensive capabilities. New hazards such as asteroid fields, elite enemy squadrons, and the Pacifier will test your piloting skills. Some enemy mercenaries have evolved into more formidable classes, including the Nightmare, Riot, and Warhawk.

To complement the thrilling gameplay, the Jupiter Expansion adds 14 new music tracks and a new side missions system, enriching the overall experience.
