Epic Pirate

Epic Pirate is a sword-fighting game in which you clear evil pirate skeletons from several progressively challenging levels. You use different combat skills in combinations as you fight through the levels, which include collectathon elements and permadeath.

Sword combat

You can lock on to enemies for better accuracy, and approaching an enemy from behind can sometimes let you get a sneak-attack kill. You can switch between combat skills while fighting. Permadeath means that if you die or quit, you must start again from the beginning.

Challenges

The game includes optional challenges such as finding every Archor Games logo, completing a speed run, exploring every part of each level, and killing every enemy, including those in less-traveled areas. Other challenges ask you to finish the game without using combat skills, or to play with only movement and the Hit button: no jumping, lock-on, combat skills, running, blocking or sneak attacks. Some levels have more than one music track, and one challenge is to find the total number across the game.
