The shooting and dodging action in Space Pirate Trainer starts right away and never stops, making this a decent purchase for quick bursts of action. In Games Gameplay screenshot courtesy of i-illusions Timing these grenades adds a rhythm-like element to the nonstop action. My personal favorites are the ion grenades, which arc out with one button press and can be triggered with another. The pistols have six firing modes, which are toggled with your thumbsticks. In fact, it’s an absolute blast to fire your twin laser pistols at swarms of killer robots. I have no complaints about the core shooting mechanics in this game. Space Pirate Trainer is a game about one thing only: shooting flying robots. It’s as if the Blade Runner films were reduced to one rooftop view. You can see floating billboards and a ship parked behind you, which hint at a larger world, but there are no other environments to explore. The entire game takes place on a tall platform in a futuristic city. Beyond the combat, Space Pirate Trainer is a limited shooter that lacks imagination. Will you be playing as a swashbuckling interstellar rogue, firing proton cannons and boarding massive spaceships? Making captives walk the plank by ejecting them out of the airlock? Are you excavating buried treasure on asteroids? Dream on, because you can’t do any of those things in this game. The name “Space Pirate Trainer” evokes some wild, vivid imagery.
