The Plucky Squire comes careening into the action-adventure genre like an '80s raver who just doesn't know when to stop. With it, a bold, Neverending Story-style meta-narrative featuring a nostalgic voiceover reminiscent of Stephen Fry's Little Big Planet performance and oodles of minigames that offer up a range of gameplay styles from every era. This game really has a bit of everything, and it makes no apology with its bodacious references to a bygone era.
From its cornerstone as a top-down adventuring game, The Plucky Squire is infused with plenty of puzzles, hack-'n'-slash elements, rhythm-based minigames, and platforming segments. It even branches out into arcade style beat-'em-ups, twin-stick shooter levels, and some turn-based tomfoolery with diplomacy tactics woven in. All this is worked into a clever mashup of 2D and 3D levels that throw brain teaser after brain teaser at you, willing you to check every angle and get a new perspective in the name of creative inspiration and, of course, friendship.
