Articles Captain Blood

Bethesda barely brought us back to 2006 with the Oblivion remaster when another relic from the 2000s suddenly resurfaced. Captain Blood is a legendary hack-and-slash long-hauler that came just a little short of release in 2010 and disappeared from the industry's radar along with its development team. And now, 22 years after development began, the game has unexpectedly been officially released. Of course, it's a somewhat odd launch, since four years ago a finished and playable build of Captain Blood was leaked online, and practically every gamer who wanted to touch this «Russian game dev» relic did so back then. In any case, we've tried the final version of the product and were once again convinced: the Russian gaming industry really did have colossal potential, capable of making it a market leader—if not for the devastating blow of the 2008 financial crisis.
