Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey is a 2007 Russian RPG video game developed by Russian company TM Studios with Akella and published by Atari /1C Company for Windows and PlayStation 2.

Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey is an action role-playing game, offering a chance to take to the high seas as the schizophrenic Captain Abraham Gray. Sail the world and explore towns on your own custom-made pirate ship as you smuggle and plunder your way to riches. Blow your enemy out of the water in naval battles or duel the rival ship captains one-on-one. Yet, beware of the mysterious English ironclad from Liverpool.

Enjoy a variety of weapons ranging from the classic six-shooter and sabers to more exotic inventions such as powder rockets or powerful gatling guns. Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey also offers many forms of customization: be it upgrading Captain Abraham Gray's ship into a fortress of defense or the most powerful array of armaments to sail the high seas. Even the Captain himself enjoys earning skills and perks. Skills can be distributed into various options such as fencing, shooting, and defense. Perks offer a chance to create a uniquely styled captain with special melee attacks, superb navigation skills, or a clever trader out for profit.


Swashbucklers is an action-adventure game starring a cowboy-pirate scourging the seas in the middle of the American Civil War who, by the way, happens to be a schizophrenic with multiple personality disorder.

Drawing its inspiration from games in the vein of Sid Meier's Pirates, Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey features ship-to-ship combat, quests for profit, and light role-playing elements. The game's most distinctive element, apart from its cartoon-like visual style, is its time period. Swashbucklers is set during the American Civil War, with lead protagonist Abraham Gray clad in cowboy garb and armed with six-shooters. The game offers 14 ship types to captain, with players able to upgrade vessels with cannonballs, powder rockets, Gatling guns, and more.

Equally adept in the arts of fencing and shooting, Gray begins his career in Havana but will visit multiple U.S. ports looking for quests. Players can align themselves with either the Confederacy or the Union, working on behalf of one faction to deliver prisoners, sink enemy ships, and more. Extra cash can also be earned by selling captured ships or by transporting cargo. On land, players can visit a tavern to engage in boxing matches, while at sea, they can board enemy vessels and duel rival captains. Over time players will earn experience points and skill attributes used to enhance Gray's health, level, and abilities.
