Captain Blood is a wonderfully entertaining 3D pirate beat ‘em up filled with swashbuckling sword fights, guns and cannon-fire.
In Captain Blood you take on the role of the titular Captain Blood (and his buddy Walt), as they seek to make a fortune in the 17th century Caribbean, amid an escalating English/Spanish conflict. There’s a kidnapped noblewoman, pirates and a bad guy who gets juiced on some special green liquid too, but basically it boils down to kicking a lot of ass, with tons of style.
The Captain has a wide selection of attacks – including his gun, grenades, throwable objects, pick-upable weapons and his swords. You can also unlock some devastating combos and four different types of executions – all of which do different things depending on which enemies you use them on.
The demo takes around 25 minutes to play through, and although you may find the tutorial section a little bit easy, it really comes into its own when you leave the church. The diverse array of attack options, the set-pieces and the variety of enemies all make for a very entertaining caribbean romp. It’s big, silly bombastic pirate-themed fun, much like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Highly recommended.
