There will be BLOOD!
Captain Blood is a pirate-themed action game set on the Spanish Main in the 17th century, where you step into the boots of a fearsome pirate on a quest for gold and glory. Expect wild adventures with cannon firing, pistol shooting, swashbuckling sword fights, and plenty of pirate shenanigans. This action-packed hack-and-slash features fierce hand-to-hand combat, hordes of enemies, and a classic fighting system with flashy combos and epic finishers.
Prepare for intense deck battles where you can fire the ship’s cannons and fend off blood-thirsty boarding crews. Collect gold to upgrade your fighting skills, buy new weapons, and become the most feared buccaneer on the high seas. Fight for wealth and glory!
Key Features:
- Epic Pirate Shenanigans: As Captain Blood, live the life of the bravest and most fearsome pirate on the Spanish Main (or at least fake it convincingly).
- Intense Action: Dive into fiery hand-to-hand combat and show enemy pirates and landlubbers alike who’s the boss with various slick combat techniques.
- Ship Deck Brawls: Fight off enemy pirates trying to board your ship with unique moves, combos, and executions while blasting enemy ships to pieces with your cannons!
- Arsenal of Awesomeness: Arm yourself with cutlasses, pistols, muskets, throwing knives, and hand bombs. Don’t forget those sneaky pirate tricks!
- Graphic Novel Vibes: Enjoy a unique art style that feels like you’re flipping through a pirate comic book.
The game underwent several iterations throughout the 2000s and was last showcased in 2010 before vanishing for years. Now, we are excited to bring it back, combining its original glory with a series of modern improvements for today’s gamers.

I'm a long time lurker but i had to create and account just to give context to this awesome release. Basically, Captain Blood, or known originally as Age of Pirates: Captain Blood, was a game that was never released despite being finished because of legal reasons. There was never any official reason given, so best one we have is that the devs got bought out after a company got the game's publishing rights for outside the Russian Federation without taking into account the rights issue, so it was legally unclear.
The 1.0 version also got leaked a few years ago so there's a chance that the visibility it got encouraged people to release the game officially.
