The Plucky Squire Switch is the physical European edition of the storybook action adventure from developer All Possible Futures and publisher Devolver Digital, where a young hero literally steps out of the pages of his own book. This boxed Nintendo Switch release carries the PEGI rating used across Europe, and it brings a hand-illustrated 2D world and a full 3D world together in one game.

The Story Behind The Plucky Squire Switch
Jot is the brave squire of a children’s storybook, and in every version of the tale he wins. The villain Humgrump finally learns that he is destined to lose forever, so he does something no storybook villain should be able to do: he kicks Jot out of the book entirely and starts rewriting the story to suit himself.
Outside the pages, Jot discovers that his two-dimensional little world is only a part of a much bigger, three-dimensional one. To save his friends and put the happy ending back where it belongs, he has to travel between the illustrated pages and the real room around them, finding ways to undo Humgrump’s changes.
Jumping Between 2D and 3D
The central idea is the switch between two kinds of play. Inside the book, the game looks and plays like a classic top-down 2D adventure drawn in a picture-book style. When Jot leaps off the page, the camera opens up to a 3D desk-top world filled with everyday objects that suddenly feel enormous.
Moving between these layers is not only a visual trick. Devolver Digital describes a game in which you solve puzzles by crossing from one dimension to the other, so a problem that seems impossible inside the book may have an answer waiting in the 3D world, and the other way round.
Puzzles, Badger Boxing and a Jetpack
The official description promises plenty of variety: puzzle solving, boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack and a long list of other mini-challenges. Rather than repeating a single loop, the adventure keeps changing what it asks of you, from quick action moments to slower brain-teasers.
Nintendo’s store page lists the genres as action, puzzle, platformer and adventure, which is a fair summary of the mix. There is sword combat against Humgrump’s minions, platform sections, and light thinking challenges between them, all built around the idea of a living storybook.
Playing The Plucky Squire Switch at Home and on the Move
The Plucky Squire Switch supports TV, tabletop and handheld modes, so you can follow Jot on the big screen or carry the story with you. Nintendo also lists compatibility with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for longer sessions on the television, plus Save Data Cloud for members of Nintendo Switch Online.
For owners of the newer console, Nintendo lists The Plucky Squire Switch as supported on Nintendo Switch 2, with game behaviour consistent with the original Nintendo Switch. The digital version needs 10.4 GB according to Nintendo, so a physical copy is welcome if your storage is already full.
Who Will Enjoy It
The Plucky Squire Switch is a strong choice for families, fans of colourful adventures and anyone who likes games with a clever central idea. The PEGI 7 rating makes it suitable for most children, while the creative 2D and 3D puzzles keep older players interested as well. It also works well as a gift, since the storybook theme is easy to understand at a glance.
Who This Is Not For
The Plucky Squire Switch is a single-player game: Nintendo lists 1 player and no local or online co-op, so it is not a party game for siblings to share at the same time. It is rated PEGI 7 for fear and violence, so very young children may find some moments a little scary. Players looking for a large open world or competitive online modes should look elsewhere, as this is a guided story adventure. This copy is the European edition with PEGI labelling.
