Features & Capabilities

Ready to vanquish your enemies and change the solar system forever from anywhere? Stellar Mercs is a vertical scrolling, offline capable, action arcade shooter with upgradable ships, weapons, and special abilities. Customize your loadouts for each mission depending on the environments and enemies you'll face! Each mission will reward you with unlocks and cash to continue building your arsenal.

You're not the only mercenary out there - the more successful and accomplished you become, the more attention you'll attract. Enemy mercenaries can become persistent arch-rivals, leveling up along side you. Defeating them will net you great rewards, but if you die at their hands, they'll grow even further in power.

The fun is never-ending! Fly missions through endless procedurally generated missions with a variety of environments, objectives, hazards, enemies, and rewards. Hijack cargo from speeding space trains, break into heavily guarded research and development space stations to acquire new prototype ships to fly, or defeat mighty leviathan capital ships in your quest to become the wealthiest, most powerful mercenary in the system!

Stellar Mercs operates as a single handed action arcade game, so you can play comfortably on the go. SM is offline capable, so even without signal you can keep gaming and conquering the solar system! Configure your spacecraft's loadout and autoshoot your way to victory - focus on maneuvering through hazards and waves of enemies while you employ special abilities for maximum carnage!

The devs have made quite the shmup, lots of levels, customization, and replayability.

I really want to love this game. It’s pretty rare to have a mobile game that actually rewards skill. My main issue with the game is that it crashes very frequently and has stability problems when the game gets intense. The frame rate can get very low. Probably around 10fps. The game will crash and you will lose progress along with any gems you used in that session. Hopefully it will be updated soon. This is on an iPhone 17 pro max on ios 26.0.1.

Great game, been playing for several weeks and and gotta say it’s limitless when it comes to playability, but much more could be added to this game “simply”. Maybe things like a battle pass system or even a XP system for leveling up and add more things happening and help keep the player engaged.
