About the Game

Experience the magical tale of Captain Smokey Ifyagardy as he tries to plunder the North Pole in this action-packed, snowball-throwing adventure!

In Swashbuckler's Xmas, you'll need to get past elves, snowmen, and much more in order to find the treasures that abound in the land of Santa's workshop. With easy-to-learn, third-person gameplay and a semi-open world full of secrets to explore, Swashbuckler's Xmas will surely have something to make your pirate's heart throb!

Is this an Early Access title?

In spirit, YES. In reality, no. The backstory: This is our first game release and we didn't realize you couldn't participate in Early Access after releasing your game. We had intended to be in Early Access for six months to a year after launch.  Swashbuckler's Xmas is still in active development and we just released a huge 1.0 release. There's never been a better time to play!
