The thing is, these games are not seen often. We are lucky if we see one pirate game a year nowadays.'.
There's a playthrough of the first mission from one of these copies on Twitch.
Would love to get my hands on the final version. Maybe one day.
Captain Blood is a pirate-themed action game that takes place on the Spanish Main of the 17th century. Players take the role of a noble pirate, following his fascinating adventures and chasing for gold and glory. This mission-based game brings players to unique battlefields on both land and sea with ship-to-ship battles and swashbuckling sword fights.

In fact, in terms of its presentational wow-factor, it's definitely closer to a hearty, scrappy sloop than an august, burly ship-of-the-line. Nevertheless, it's become weirdly close to our hearts (and livers) over the past couple of years, largely thanks to three key distinctions".
