Game Overview
Experience high-seas beat-‘em-up action in Buccaneers: Shipshape, where you play as a swashbuckling pirate on a quest to reclaim your stolen ship and treasure map. Battle waves of rival marauders, plunder from uppity civilians, and unleash fierce parrots in this fast-paced, belt-scrolling brawler.

Choose from four distinctive pirate heroes—Simon, Coralie, Portia, and the hook-handed Aldemar—each offering unique speeds, attacks, and special moves that add variety and strategy to every fight. This official remake of the 1989 Buccaneers arcade classic, developed with full support from the original creator Duintronic S.A., brings modern enhancements while honoring the original’s spirit.
