The Plucky Squire

It's ok. It's kind of a simplified Zelda style storybook game. The main strength of the game is the graphics and art direction. The whole storybook style and jumping out of the book and into different 2D page effects looks very good. Story is fine enough. The puzzles with manipulating words and the environment are decent. Weirdly, the combat kind of sucks. I didn't know it was possible to screw up basic Zelda gameplay but they did it somehow. I played on Hard where you only have 3 hit points and there's no heart containers or real upgrades beyond learning some basic sword moves at the shop. There's two main reasons the combat fails - the hitboxes are poor, especially for any aoe or explosion type attacks (and there are MANY exploding enemies) which hit an area far greater than their graphics imply. The other reason is that your basic sword slash moves your character forward. Enemies on the other hand routinely get super armor during their attacks. Combine the two and you have immensely frustrating combat. Instead you'll get an overload of use from your thrown sword attack which is the only way to reliably deal safe damage from a distance. The game even sort of accepts its combat is poor because every "boss" of the game instead has a custom minigame you play to defeat it, and these minigames have wide gameplay variety and are pretty fun. Because the game doesn't really have RPG elements (and there's very little backtracking or exploration) there isn't really anything the game can reward you with for finding secrets, so all you get are art gallery unlocks or glitchbirds, both of which do nothing gameplaywise. They probably could have expanded on the gameplay systems a lot more if the game was longer and more expansive. As it is, the game is a short enjoyable enough experience.

A good and creative game. I encountered some bugs that made me restart a few time, including one on chapter 9 that made me replay 80 minutes to get to the end of the chapter (40 minutes twice). Would be nice to add an option to fast foward "cutscenes". Overall the game is fun and I had a good time

gameplay and story were great fun, and the art style was amazing. Game run super smooth. Puzzles actually were very well thought out and some took me a few minutes at the end to figure out. Game is very solid and worth the money easily.

Con lo corto que es se supone que debería acabarlo, pero llevo más de la mitad del juego y joder que aburrimiento. Tiene cosas a nivel visual interesante, pero historia, combate, mecánicas.... Osea tienes la mecánica de salir del libro o de alterar la realidad y lo dedicas a hacer puzzles aburridos y predecibles. No suelo poner reviews negativas pero es que no se lo recomendaría a nadie.
