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.

PC Gamer: 85 / 100 by Abbie Stone
A smart and silly spin on 3D platformers and 2D classics that's delightful from start to finish.
Games Freezer: 9.5 / 10 by Britt Roberts
One of the gaming highlights of the year (2024), and an absolute delight of a family experience. Sebastian would approve.
One More Game: 9 / 10 by Chris Garcia
The Plucky Squire is a creative triumph and certainly lives up to the hype ever since it was first announced. The full experience is wonderful, often employing a change of mechanics from one level to the next, keeping players on their toes with fresh gameplay. The Plucky Squire deserves a spot on anyone's list of titles to look forward to this year. It is a refreshing game amidst the barrage of AAA titles, and certainly a reminder that falling back to depend on a creatively fun and polished experience can do no wrong.
