Captain Blood, the retro pirate adventure that was thought to be lost over a decade ago, has finally arrived in port and is now available on Steam, GOG, EGS, Mac, PS4 and PS5, Xbox One and Xbox X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Aged like a fine bottle of rum and ready to be uncorked, Captain Blood arrives for gamers with a taste for an early ‘10s vintage
SNEG is proud to announce that Captain Blood has finally ‘made port’ after two decades and is available now for PC on Steam, GOG, and EGS, Mac, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game sets sail with a 10% booty discount on the $24.99 / €24,99 / £20.99 price at launch on all platforms.
Initially intended for a 2010s release on PC and consoles, the planned launch was scuppered when the original publisher went bankrupt, and a series of legal challenges prevented the developers from releasing the game themselves. Fifteen years later, with the blessing of the original dev team, SNEG took the helm to salvage and restore the game, bringing it into the modern age, while conserving the retro look, feel, and gameplay from the decade it was created.
You play as Captain Blood, the manliest pirate captain ever to drink grog while romancing maidens across the Spanish Main. When the local magistrate’s beautiful, buxom daughter is kidnapped, he swallows his pride and hires you and your crew to rescue her. Expect wild adventures with cannon firing, pistol shooting, swashbuckling sword fights, and plenty of pirate shenanigans. This action-packed hack'n'slash features fierce hand-to-hand combat, hordes of enemies, and a classic fighting system with flashy combos and epic finishers.
