The Plucky Squire is an action adventure game based on an unusual idea - while playing we explore both 2D levels stylized as illustrated children's books and 3D maps located in the child's room.
The Plucky Squire is an action adventure game in which we can play both on 2D maps and those made in 3D. This is a debut project of All Possible Futures studio.
The story revolves around a villain named Humgrump, who discovers that he is the villain in an illustrated children's book and is doomed to lose forever to the forces of good. To change that, he casts the brave squire Jot from the pages of the book into the real world.
The protagonist will have to survive in the real world and find a way to restore the story's original ending, as this is the only way to save the world from the book and his friends living in it.
The Plucky Squire is an action adventure game, so while playing we explore maps, avoid obstacles, avoid traps, collect items and fight with enemies.
An unusual element of the game is that we can find here both 2D and 3D levels. Each type offers different types of challenges and unique gameplay mechanics.
The authors took care of a large diversity of gameplay. We face many different mini-games, which take the form of platforming, brawling and shooting inspired by arcade classics. Puzzles also appear regularly.
The Plucky Squire offers only single player mode.
The strong point of the game is the design. The 2D sections are stylized like illustrations from children's books, which creates an interesting contrast with the more realistic 3D segments set in a child's room.

Capsule Computers: 8 / 10 by ir Brkic
A well-thought-out mixture of 2D/3D gameplay with some creative puzzle platforming. Although the difficulty is a walk in the park, everything else in the game makes The Plucky Squire stand out
Digitally ed: 3.5 / 5 by Alex Kidman
It’s a quite charming and lovely game, and I did enjoy my time flipping between its in-game pages and some of the more subtle gaming jokes within it. You really can tell how much creative thought and polish was put into it, but it does mean that there are points where I felt like I was simply being guided through obvious sections, rather than enjoying the discovery of them.
Windows Central: 5 / 5 by Cole Martin
The Plucky Squire combines 2D action-adventure with 3D platforming for a 4th wall breaking good time while serving as a family-friendly love letter to the art and literature that creatively inspires us.
