The Plucky Squire: A Magical 2D & 3D Adventure Unfolds

The Plucky Squire: A Bold Leap Between 2D and 3D Adventures

The Plucky Squire invites players into a world where storybook magic and reality collide. Jot, the brave hero of this tale, has spent his life battling villains within the pages of a classic 2D storybook. That is, until Humgrump—the book’s antagonist—realizes he’s doomed to lose for all eternity. Deciding to rewrite fate, Humgrump boots Jot from the book, plunging him into an entirely new dimension and flipping the story on its head.

What follows is an inventive mix of action, puzzles, and quirky surprises as Jot leaps between the 2D and 3D worlds. Whether you're boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack, or solving puzzles, the gameplay always keeps you on your toes. Each challenge feels fresh and fun, keeping you hooked as you fight to restore order and bring the happy ending back to life.

According to the Steam description, The Plucky Squire lets players enjoy a seamless blend of classic 2D platforming with immersive 3D action. With Humgrump’s dark forces closing in, it’s up to you to help Jot save his friends and rewrite the fate of this magical world. Whether you're nostalgic for storybook tales or craving something new, this game promises a delightful, ever-changing adventure.

The Plucky Squire is out now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PS5!
