Why You Should Be Excited For Plucky Squire!

Why You Should Be Excited For Plucky Squire!

Every once and a while an indie game comes along that captures the attention of all gamers. In recent years I am reminded of games like Cuphead, Tunic, Ori.  Games that embody the essence of fun and creativity but also popped off the screen due to original art styles.

The latest to join the ranks of highly anticipated indie is The Plucky Squire. A game that sees you take control of the main character in a fairytale while reading it on your desk. The game looks magical enough just using the 2D perspective but you quickly escape the 2D pages and find yourself platforming the surrounding bedroom in 3D. The trailer shows shades of classic Zelda adventures, and the 2D and 3D platforming of Super Mario, which isn’t a surprise as the game is being created by All Possible Futures, a new studio from a former Pokémon Art Director.

“Jump between 2D and 3D worlds in this charming action adventure - solving puzzles, boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack, and enjoying many more delightful and surprising mini challenges as you become the hero of a living storybook” is how the game is described by the developers.

The game will be coming to all platforms including Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox and PC. The only downside is that we will have to wait until 2023 to turn the page on this magical adventure.
