He even gets his crown stolen by Porre-Porre at the end, to the amusement of everyone else. Not only that, but the crew's captain will often kick his barrel over just for being in his way. He hides out in a barrel for about 90% of the game, ostensibly to avoid getting in danger, but still often ends up needing rescuing by Eric and Leah. The game even implies that they share the same mind but pose as a couple. Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Most of the bosses you face except ironically, the Final Boss who is more human-sized.Many have likened it to Sega's Let's Go Jungle.
An Updated Re-release labeled " Deadstorm Pirates: Special Edition" was released to arcades in 2014 that adds two new levels and expands the ending. The game hit the arcades in 2009 and was ported to PlayStation 3 using the Move controls as a bonus game to Razing Storm, along with Time Crisis 4, and as a stand-alone title on the PlayStation Network. Some cabinets are also equipped with a "Ship's wheel" mechanism, a free-spinning wheel between the two players which must occasionally be used to dodge attacks, charge their own attacks, or steer a vehicle away from obstacles and hazards. The players may also focus their crosshairs on one small area of the screen, which will cause their two crosshairs to merge into one that deals bonus damage on enemies, making it useful for attacking more durable enemies.
The good news is that Namco representatives told me that an English version of Dead Storm Pirates already exists, and that the company hopes to have machines in Japanese and American arcades "this spring." I'd better start saving my 100-yen coins now.The game itself is fairly standard so far as Light Gun games go, though it offers a few unique mechanics For one, the game actually encourages teamwork, placing them in situations where it is more ideal for one player to focus on taking out weak points on a boss, while the other keeps enemy swarms at bay. While that's on the expensive side, the physical aspect of the game made the experience well worth it. Had we been playing in a real Japanese arcade, we would have easily run through 600 yen each (about six bucks) during our 15-minute demo. It's a challenging mechanic, one that had us tapping the Start button furiously to return to the action as we accidentally got each other killed again and again. This creates some good-natured conflicts when multiple tough targets appear: A player's instinct is to defend his own half of the screen, but splitting up will only leave both players in trouble. This combination attack is crucial against larger foes such as giant enemy crabs. When players focus their crosshairs on a single target, they both receive a power and speed boost. Teamwork is more than encouraged in Dead Storm Pirates. Forcing players to take turns is a little disappointing from a gameplay perspective, but from a teamwork standpoint it makes total sense: Your characters are literally in the same boat. There's also only one wheel, so only one player can steer at a time. At no point in the demonstration did we have to steer and shoot at the same time. The game is primarily an on-rails shooter with force-feedback light gun controllers, but there's a steering wheel for select action sequences and Quick Time Events.
