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.

Meta spin on arts-and-crafty games has you helping an eccentric trio able to access the world outside their story to battle the evil Humgrump
Saving Content: 3 / 5 by Scott Ellison II
The Plucky Squire can be a bit hand holdy, but it’s something that’s also great for kids. It’s ultimately an adventure I want more of, even after the credits rolled. It leans well on childhood nostalgia and putting your imagination to good use. It’s a shame that the bugs detract from what would otherwise be a better experience. Where art and words comes together beautifully is a a page turner for some well-earned surprises, and The Plucky Squire is a delightful journey.
VideoGamer: 8 / 10 by Tom Bardwell
Endlessly creative and playful, The Plucky Squire's effortless hop between intertwined 2D and 3D worlds is an ode to the illustrated delights of storybooks.
