BattleCrew: Space Pirates

About

BattleCrew: Space Pirates is a competitive shooter built for teams. Up to four players join forces in 2vs2 or 4vs4 matches where platforming and gunplay collide. Each character has distinct abilities that demand coordination, think quick jumps, grapples, and cover mechanics mixed with fast gunfights. Matches unfold across floating arenas where positioning and timing matter as much as aim. The game stands out for its tight multiplayer loops and emphasis on teamwork. While not a massive hit, it carved a niche among players who enjoy chaotic local co-op. Released in 2017, it remains a brisk pick-up-and-play option for groups. Developer Dontnod Eleven focused on smooth mechanics over deep lore, making it straightforward and easy to jump into with friends.
