Background:
Captain Blood’ is a pirate action game. A player is supposed to assume the role of brave and noble pirate captain, Peter Blood, and follow his intriguing and amazing adventures in 1685 on the Spanish Main. The game is basedon a story described in Rafael Sabatini’s book “Captain Blood: His Odyssey” where an English surgeon was framed and condemned to penal servitude on Barbados. Passing through hard times he got a chance to become a pirate and used it to escape from the tropical plantation hell. Soon the Caribbean was set ablaze by his deeds and exploits. Captain Blood gives an extraordinary chance to live the life of the most eccentric pirate from the best book of Rafael Sabatini. Follow the pirate star in an amazing quest for gold, glory and love.

Gameplay:
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 to gain control of invaded ships. Player can experience directly controlled naval battles, manually firing ship cannons from the foredeck, or navigating his course in third-person view while cannons aim automatically and fire only when commanded. Wind strength, direction, weather conditions, ship parameters and cannon fire range must all be weighed to achieve victory. Land missions place players in the character of Captain Blood, fighting multiple enemies while gamers parry, thrust and sidestep through different combinations against enemy pirates and soldiers. Gamers gain special points as they work through ghastly sea dogs, acquiring new fighting techniques and gold for weapons and equipment.
