The Plucky Squire

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.

Plot

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.

Game mechanics

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.

Game modes

The Plucky Squire offers only single player mode.

Technical aspects

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.
