Captain Blood is a pirate-themed action-adventure hack-and-slash game released in 2025 and available on macOS via platforms like Steam, GOG, and Epic Games. After spending over a decade in development limbo, this long-awaited title finally made landfall with publishers reviving a near-finished build and bringing the swashbuckling chaos to modern players. Set during the 17th-century Spanish Main, you take on the role of a hardened pirate captain seeking gold, glory, and bloody vengeance against foes on both land and sea.
Gameplay blends intense melee combat, ship deck battles, and explosive naval encounters. You’ll slash through hordes of enemy pirates with cutlasses, pistols, and grenades while also firing cannons and defending your own vessel from boarding crews. The fighting is inspired by classic hack-and-slash mechanics with flashy combos and finishers that keep the action visceral and engaging. Though rooted in older design sensibilities, Captain Blood offers a nostalgic, gritty pirate experience with a unique graphic-novel art style and plenty of chaotic encounters on your quest for infamy.
