* WhatHappennedToTheMouse: The pirate crew leaves aboard Vincent's ship in the end, but it never says what happened to their ''old'' ship. However, given how severely damaged it was by the Ghost Pirate fleet and the Kraken earlier in the game, it is possible that it was no longer seaworthy and was abandoned.

''Deadstorm Pirates'' is a pirate-themed LightGunGame from [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]]. You play two pirates named Eric and Leah, part of a crew that is looking for a treasure known as Poseidon's Breath. To do so, they must brave supernatural enemies who guard the island where the treasure lies. Luckily for said crew, Eric and Leah have the rare weapons, the golden guns, and are more than ready to take on all comers.

comers.

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. 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. 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.



* AnachronismStew: In a game that appears to be otherwise set in the equivalent of the 14th-or-15th century, Eric's and Leah's Golden Guns are ''fully automatic'' weapons which more closely resemble revolvers from the mid-to-late 19th century at earliest. Then again, they're explicitly said to be "[[{{Magitech}} magic]]" so it's not ''completely'' unbelievable to say "AWizardDidIt".
* AndTheAdventureContinues: The game ends, in true pirate fashion, with the crew setting out for their next treasure, now aboard Captain Vincent's pilfered treasure ship.

ButtMonkey: BrunoBruno. 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. Not only that, but the crew's captain will often kick his barrel over just for being in his way. He even gets his crown stolen by Porre-Porre at the end, to the [[EverybodyLaughsEnding amusement]] of everyone else.

to:

* TheDividual: Implied of Eric and Leah. Some of the flavor text you get while the game tallies up your level score implies that the two share the same mind but pose as a BattleCouple to ward off suspicion.
