Created by I-Illusions, one of its leading developers Dirk van Welden admitted that the Space Pirate Trainer was inspired by retro titles such as Galaga and Space Invaders. For a more conventional modern approach, they also added user interface and menus for the players to easily navigate the surroundings in VR.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This first wave of VR games is all about experiences,”<\/span><\/i> says<\/span> Dirk Van Welden to <\/span>Develop-Online.net<\/span><\/a>, I-Illusions about his approach to the game. <\/span>“It’s a new platform, we want innovative gameplay, and smaller studios can take more risks when it comes down to fresh new approaches on VR.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

He also mentioned that the game is that the<\/span> \u201cbullet-time kicks in automatically just when you\u2019re about to get shot.\u201d <\/span><\/i>\u00a0This feature allows players to dodge incoming lasers since you can hear the time slowing down gradually. As what Van Welden referred to it, it\u2019s like giving you some sort of spider-sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Space Pirate Trainer offers a very fun shooting experience to gamers, challenging you with it demands physical movements while removing the traveling element. Trying the game for myself was real fun, shooting down droids and buffs that can give you shield or initiating bombs that will attack enemy droids. It will make you feel as if you\u2019re inside a sci-fi war, surviving with the use of your own blasters and shooting down your enemies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The game is currently available on Steam for VR-ready <\/span>gaming PCs<\/span><\/a> that has HTC Vive and Oculus Rift as well as tracked motion controllers. The Space Pirate Trainer is a must-try for Sci-Fi lovers and retro games fans.<\/span><\/p>\n
