Captain Blood will be releasing after first being shown for Xbox in 2006.
Captain Blood may seem like a nice throwback to hack and slash games of the past, but it really feels like an outdated experience in 2025.
Jay writes: "The publisher argues that while Captain Blood might rate as a 4/10 today, it would’ve scored a 7.5/10 back in the mid-2000s. But let’s be honest—even if this game had launched on its original schedule, it would’ve still been panned. Broken mechanics don’t magically become acceptable just because they’re old. As someone who values game preservation, I respect the effort to revive lost projects, but that doesn’t excuse selling a fundamentally unfinished product—especially one that may never be properly fixed. Dodge Captain Blood like your character dodges non-existent i-frames."
Captain Blood is such an interesting release, a true time capsule from a different era as it was supposed to be released for Xbox 360.
This looks like fun, will pick it up.

As crazy as this sounds I’m actually kind of digging this.
Took about as long as an Ubisoft release.
