Space Pirate Trainer DX
2021
Space Pirate Trainer DX is the deluxe edition of Space Pirate Trainer, the most seminal wave-based shooter in the history of modern VR.
SPACE PIRATE TRAINER puts you inside one of those awesome classic 80s arcade cabinets, where you’ll fight off relentless waves of droids with all the weapons and gadgets a Space Pirate would ever need. Pick up your blasters, tie up your sneakers, and dance your way into the Space Pirate Trainer hall of fame!
The DX edition adds two kick-ass multiplayer modes:
VERSUS pits two space pirates against each other in a fresh multiplayer spin on the classic SPT. Every time you shoot a droid, another one will appear targeting your opponent, ending in all-out blaster chaos!
ARENA is a truly revolutionary arena-scale VR laser tag game. Find a large space (*) for a manic game of hide and seek with blasters. Take on the drones in a single-player match, or play multiplayer with friends around the world.
(*) ARENA requires a 10x10m (33x33ft) area to play.
