About

Pirate Patrol is a strategy -and tactics- driven science fiction space combat game with deep RPG elements, set in the lawless regions of space. Players take command of a powerful capital ship and fight to survive against enemy fleets, autonomous warships, and constantly evolving threats.

The game blends real-time space battles with procedurally generated missions, enemies, and systems, ensuring that every run presents new scenarios, risks, and opportunities. Players can discover and collect an endless variety of items, loot, and ship modules, allowing for highly personalized builds and playstyles.

Pirate Patrol’s RPG-based progression systems enable extensive customization of the capital ship, fighter squadrons, and defensive infrastructure. Turret systems, combat computers, specialized ship modules, and tactical configurations directly influence the outcome of every engagement. Resource management, planning, and smart equipment choices are key to survival.

Built around exploration, risk, and reward, Pirate Patrol constantly encourages players to experiment with new strategies. Its design delivers endless replayability, creating unique builds, new threats, and different survival stories with each playthrough.
With its deep systems, tactical decision-making, and strong atmospheric presentation, the game is aimed at players seeking a rich space-themed strategy and RPG experience.

What is Smart-Pause Gameplay (SPG)
To combine the tactical depth of turn-based strategy games with the dynamic flow of real-time combat, we developed a pause system for Pirate Patrol called Smart Pause Gameplay (SPG).
SPG is inspired by the Real-Time with Pause (RTwP) systems found in many real-time games, but it goes a step further by significantly enhancing the player’s sense of control in a real-time environment. With SPG, the game intelligently pauses based on the player’s input and intent, allowing for smooth, intuitive tactical decision-making.
This system enables players to plan ahead and issue commands without breaking immersion—eliminating the need to constantly press a pause button or deal with disruptive interruptions caused by scripted or repetitive events. The result is a more fluid and responsive tactical experience that stays fast-paced while remaining deeply strategic.

It's going to be a fun game...eventualy. Right now it's clunky and a lot of he mechanics are more anoying than fun, plus the usual bugs of Alpha. Still i have faith and would recomend, just wait a bit fot the devs to work on it.
Really Wanted to like this game but its 4 main issues: 1. Really disjointed Art style, although I play a lot of games with minimal graphics having 3 ish artstyles makes the game look pretty awful it wouldn't hurt if they just had one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ arstyle it would've worked a lot better. 2. Really outdated interfacing with ships, other games which are dozens of years younger than this have queueing commands, setting basic conditional orders... ( StUN, Starsector). 3. Ships/Battles have no impact... honestly in the little time that I played combat felt static. In comparison to games that have literal tile graphics like ToME these battles feel like two bullet sponges sitting and attacking each other 4. Although I have not put much time into this game all the systems ( atleast with how the UI looks) appear really disjointed it feels like they were slapped together from different games.
[b][i]A sci-fi real-time strategy with RPG elements, tactical pause, procedurally generated maps, missions, battles, and loot. Explore space as the captain of a galactic cruiser.[/i][/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/MycATcF2D9I In this game, you control a massive ship, its weapons, and a fleet of fighters. Battles take place in real time, but you can pause the game at any time and issue orders to your subordinates (in addition to manual pause, there's also an automatic pause). After a battle, you scan debris/asteroids/anomalies, gain resources, and can repair, refuel, and upgrade your ship, purchase fighters, and hire and train your crew. To trade, approach a planet and press the appropriate button. As you progress through the game, your captain levels up, allowing you to improve their stats and unlock new abilities.
There is so much to this game from controlling all facets of your ship, managing fighters, assigning turrets, missile barrages and more to help slay enemies. Scan asteroids, ship wrecks, salvage and anomalies. Smart Pause gives you a chance to take everything in to account to ensure that you make the best informed decision. Build out your ship, crew and bay of fighter pilots in this awesome sci-fi title.

Gra znajduje się w facie alfa wczesnego dostępu i nie jest jeszcze w pełni grywalna. [h1]OCENA: POZYTYWNA = GRA W FAZIE ROZWOJU![/h1] Na chwilę obecną (grudzień 2024) odradzam jeszcze zakup gry – chyba, że chcesz wesprzeć autora i nie przeszkadza ci konieczność oczekiwania na dodanie niezbędnych elementów gry takich jak system zapisu czy też usunięcie krytycznych błędów. No cóż – jest to tytuł Early Access ze wszystkimi jego bolączkami więc jestem to jeszcze w stanie zrozumieć. Zapowiada się ciekawie i choć obecnie rozgrywka jest dosyć powtarzalna gdyż prawie cały czas opiera się na tej samej mechanice pokroju “przeleć-zniszcz-napraw się- uzupełnij zapasy-zmień miejsce” to jednak sprawia to jakąś frajdę i mnie tytuł przypadł do gustu i zapowiada się na ciekawą pozycję. Autor jest dosyć aktywny dodając stale elementy tak więc za jakiś czas powrócę uzupełnić tą recenzję i zdam wam raport czy warto było czekać… [quote][h1]Więcej informacji w pełnej recenzji:[/h1] ►https://hakimodo.pl/2024/12/24/r312_a-pirate-patrol-ciekawy-tytul-choc-niestety-jeszcze-we-wczesnej-fazie-rozwoju/ [/quote] https://store.steampowered.com/app/2339490/Pirate_Patrol/?curator_clanid=31951226 [quote][h1]Obserwuj kuratora WIDZOWIE HAKIEGO[/h1]►https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31951226/[/quote]
I just got the game after the last update and I have to say it's a very interesting concept. The game is quite complex, it's based on managing a large ship, with crew, fighters, equipment, completing missions and exploring a large universe. It has RPG elements and even though it's still in alpha it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend it. It needs adjustments here and there but nothing that breaks the gameplay so far.

Das Spiel macht Spass. Leider Stürzt es oft ab. Noch einige Bug Fixes und ich werde es wieder spielen. Ich danke daher dem Entwickler für dieses Spiel. Es errinnert mich an FTL
Promising, remember me Gratuitous Space Battles, easy, and fun, nothing complicated. Still need a bit work at interface, a zoom maybe, at map zone, and a button to accelerate time. Cheap and good work until now.
