First of all, we're gonna need to install Wine 1.7 (It MUST be the 1.7 version)

Step 1: Open a new terminal (CTR+ALT+T)

Step 2: insert the commands below.

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
  
  
• sudo apt-get update
  
  
• sudo apt-get install wine1.7

Step 3: Download the game client.

Press HEREto download the game client.

After we download the game client, you must find where is the installer, after that insert the next command on a new terminal.

sudo nautilus /home/*/.wine/drive_c

Then you will see that a new folder opened, just copy the installer on that folder and select "OPEN WITH WINE".

Step 4: The installation and execution.

Only if you can write Spanish. I guess that non-spanish speakers can talk here. We will be listening...

Update:
Tested with Wine 8.0.2 on Linux Mint 21.2.
Downloaded with this Lutris script:
https://lutris.net/games/pirate-galaxy/
Obviously first you need to install Lutris. sudo apt install lutris on Linux Mint and pretty much on other Ubuntu based distributions as well.
The game runs nicely overall. There are small performance issues, but that's probably because of the low-end hardware I tested on + Wine. If you have an average PC with a video card, it should run well without any serious problems.

If you can't get into full screen (Alt+Enter), then right click the game in Lutris, go to Configure > Game options > Arguments.
The launch argument should look like this:
wine /home/<username>/Games/pirate-galaxy/Files/Launcher.exe
Edit it to:
wine explorer /desktop=<some_name>,1920x1080 /home/<username>/Games/pirate-galaxy/Files/Launcher.exe
If your screen resolution is smaller or higher than 1920x1080, then change it. The name after desktop could be anything.
Click "Save" and next time you launch the game it will open in a full screen Wine virtual desktop. If the game loaded in, you can press Alt+Enter to get the game itself into full screen.
