Gamers can live the life of a swashbuckling pirate as they engage in naval battles across the Spanish Main and hack-and-slash their way through visceral ground combat in Captain Blood. There are 14 missions overall, with players engaging in hand-to-hand fights in which they use swords, pistols, knives, and bombs to dispatch enemies; with quick-time events, executions, and boss battles serving to amplify the theatrics. Sea-based missions alter the action, as gamers guide their ships through intense sea battles, firing cannons at enemy vessels and defending the deck from foes trying to board. Comic book-style cut-scenes help advance the narrative, and players can use the gold they collect in battles to upgrade their skills and purchase new weapons and armor. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
