Genre-defying premium platformer

The Plucky Squire is an adventure game about storybook characters who discover the three-dimensional world beyond the pages of the book they are in. The platformer features a combination of illustrated 2D artwork and high-fidelity 3D settings. The player needs to jump between the 2D and 3D realms as part of the story.

A story that leaps out of the page 

In The Plucky Squire Jot and his friends discover the 3D world beyond the pages of their book. When the story’s villain learns he is defeated in the book’s ending, he kicks Jot out of the book to alter the plot. Jot must find his way back, navigating both the 2D and 3D realms.

The game mechanics should be familiar to anyone who has played platformer games in the past. The 2D sections are similar to top-down RPG games, such as Zelda Classic, while the 3D sections are more like Mario 64, or Spyro Reignited Trilogy. To enjoy the 3D visuals, high-end graphics hardware is necessary.

Visually impressive game

The Plucky Squire’s impressive graphical quality it presents is impressive. The game lets the player view the 2D realm through the perspective of a 3D observer looking at a book. It offers a fresh take on platformers with the way it combines the two familiar modes.
