Lionheart, the legendary pirate captain, has returned to make them pay for the betrayal he suffered 20 years ago during the Great Pirate Revolution against the ruthless monopoly bosses who have the galaxy and the Federation in their claws.

Realising that the Federation has become a pawn in the hands of the monopoly bosses, will the honourable intelligence officers and experienced pirate captains scattered across the galaxy support Lionheart in this great battle?

Are you ready to send your precious pilots into battle against artificially intelligent enemies unleashed across the galaxy by an evil force?

Will you be able to find experienced and fearless pilots, Captain, to fight this powerful enemy with speeds and manoeuvrability far beyond human physical limits?

Will you be able to control these brave fighter pilots who have been cooked in the toughest of conflicts and become bastards of war? Will you be able to call disobedient pilots back to the hangar in the middle of a fierce firefight when they change their targets against orders?

As an experienced captain on a covert mission, you know that every asteroid, projectile and enemy ship poses a significant risk.

What is Smart-Pause Game (SPG)

In order to combine the tactical richness of turn-based strategy games with the action richness of real-time strategy games, we developed a pause system in Pirate Patrol that we call Smart Pause Game (SPG).

To define it, we can use the Real Time with Pause (RTwP) system that we see in real time games. However, Smart Pause is more advanced than RTwP and aims to increase the player's sense of control in a "real-time" game. With SPG, the game is automatically "paused" according to the player's reactions and what they want to do, allowing the player to easily make tactical decisions. This allows the player to plan and give orders while the action is still going on, without having to constantly press the pause button or without uncomfortable pauses caused by predetermined and repetitive events.
