Project Overview

Dread Anchor is a 3D Third-Person Melee Combat Pirate Game where you play as the undead pirate Captain Blackfish, a humanoid orca who wields a massive anchor. You made a deal with Davy Jones to temporarily rise up and get revenge on your mutinous crew. Wield your deadly anchor to deliver powerful crushing blows, hurl it to hook enemies, and guard against their savage attacks.
