Luckily, there may be one that combines the magic of Black Flag with the aesthetics and gameplay of the original God of War.

Captain Blood is an upcoming pirate-themed action game with hack-and-slash combat.

Developed by Seawolf Studio, players will take on the role of a fearsome young pirate seeking gold and glory.

“Expect adventures with cannon firing, pistol shooting, swashbuckling sword fights, and plenty of pirate shenanigans” as you encounter fierce combat, hordes of enemies and flashy combos.

Set on the Spanish Main in the 17th century, Captain Blood will see you engage in epic battles, both on the deck and off, as you fend off blood-thirsty enemy crews.

With a graphic novel style aesthetic, this is one for the pirate lovers as you wield the coolest arsenal ever. Consisting of cutlasses, pistols, muskets, throwing knives, and hand bombs, there are many ways you can overwhelm your enemies.

However, don’t forget that you are a pirate and you have plenty of tricks up your sleeves.

“The game underwent several iterations throughout the 2000s and was last showcased in 2010 before vanishing for years,” a developer message reads.

“Now, we are excited to bring it back, combining its original glory with a series of modern improvements for today's gamers.”

Although Captain Blood does not yet have a release date for its full launch, it is now available to try out for free on Steam.

So if you are a PC user with a love of pirates, then this hack-and-slash adventure game is the one for you.
