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

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, more enemies, and more missions than ever before!

If you haven't already blasted off into the action, Stellar Mercenaries is a thrilling vertical-scrolling space shooter. Engage in 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 sprawling battlefield, along with its iconic moons: Ganymede (a barren wasteland), Io (volcanic and treacherous), and Europa (a frozen expanse). Each moon presents unique challenges, while Jupiter itself is a maelstrom of deadly storms.

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

The expansion delivers 50 brand-new missions with diverse objectives, including hyperspace hunts for elusive targets, thrilling piracy missions, crucial escort missions, and intense training defense missions.

Six cutting-edge ships join your arsenal: the Raider, Goblin, Mako, Boxer, Lightning, and Skybreaker. Meanwhile, a potent selection of new weapons awaits, including the Hyper Velocity Mortar, Plasma Seeker, EMP Rockets, Mauler Cannon, Electron Beam, and Neutron Beam.
