The briefing

About this game

Corsarios is an action game from Opera Soft built around two independent pirate-themed sections.

Gameplay

In the first section, the protagonist battles hordes of pirates on a wild island using punches and kicks against enemies armed with weapons such as sabers and blunderbusses. The objective is to reach a small boat waiting at the opposite end of the island.

The second section takes place aboard a pirate galleon and can be accessed without completing the island scenario. Here, combat shifts to swordplay as the hero climbs toward the pirate flags on the ship’s masts and attempts to rescue a captive woman before she is thrown to the sharks.
