Space Pirate Trainer Review
Space Pirate Trainer sees you taking on wave after wave of enemies, with each wave becoming progressively more difficult and sending even more vicious foes your way. Fortunately, you’re equipped with dual-guns that come with different firing styles (it could be standard shooting, laser blasting or even grenade launching) whilst you’ll also come across a multitude of power-ups to activate too. Want to know the neatest addition to your arsenal though? The Volton – a multi-purpose weapon you have equipped to your back that can be used for just about anything.
There’re plenty of enemies to take down too, with a ton of flying robots to blast and smash up – they look like the sort of things you’d see in an arcade game of the 80s, which is quite fitting given that the whole vibe of the game feels that way too. These enemies will keep a constant storm of bullets coming your way, but fortunately there’s a bullet-time function in place that slows down time when any incoming fire nears your face, in turn allowing you to swiftly move yourself out of the way of any danger. It’s a neat feature and one that can certainly help get you out of some sticky situations. Plus, there’s nothing more badass that dodging bullets and using a whip to grab and smash enemies to pieces, right? The fact that you’re doing it all in virtual reality just adds to the neat vibe of the experience.
Whilst Space Pirate Trainer’s shooting is a lot of fun, the gameplay itself can get a little bit repetitive. It’s something that a lot of wave-based shooters are guilty of, but it’s also something that’s seen as more of a negative point these days – especially since there are more fleshed out VR shooters available right now that offer more varied and meaty experiences. There’s no story here though nor are there hugely changing environments to keep you hooked in, with the main lasting appeal of Space Pirate Trainer just being to rack up high scores. It might not be enough for some players, even if the game itself is a lot of fun to play.
