Captain Blood is an action game based on the novels by Rafael Sabatini. Players take the role of a brave and noble corsair, following his intriguing and amazing adventures in 1685. The game's mission-based structure allows players a diverse battlefield on both land and sea, with ship to ship battles and swashbuckling sword fights. Players can experience directly controlled naval battles, manually firing ship cannons from the foredeck or navigate in third-person view while cannons aim automatically. Land missions place players in the character of Captain Blood, fighting multiple enemies while gamers parry, thrust and sidestep through different combinations against opponents.
