The Plucky Squire is an action-adventure game that seamlessly combines 2D and 3D exploration with clever puzzles and quirky boss battles. Set in a charming, storybook-inspired world, the game invites players to explore beautifully crafted environments while uncovering hidden secrets and engaging in Zelda-like combat.
Whether you’re focusing on the main story or aiming for 100 percent completion, the game offers a satisfying experience for players of all skill levels. But just how long will it take to finish this whimsical journey? Well, as you’ll notice, the difference between a full completionist playthrough and a casual one isn’t that far apart.
How Long Does It Take To Complete The Plucky Squire?
If you're mainly focusing on completing the main story of The Plucky Squire without delving too deeply into its optional content, you can expect the game to take around eight to nine hours, according to HowLongToBeat. The game’s charming mix of puzzles, platforming, and combat sequences can vary in difficulty, although using the Skip Button regularly will drastically lower your playtime.
The Skip Button is used to skip special sequences that don’t interact with regular gameplay, like bosses and a few stealth sections.
That being said, the game’s handcrafted environments encourage exploration, and those who take their time may find themselves wandering through the vibrant 2D and 3D spaces for a bit longer, particularly if you're stopping to enjoy the storybook art style and character conversations.

For completionists, The Plucky Squire offers two types of collectibles (glitchbirds and art pages), but they are very well hidden throughout the whole game. You’ll need to fully explore both the 2D and 3D environments, as well as backtrack to previous storybook pages after unlocking new abilities like the stamps, which can add a significant amount of time to your playthrough.
If you're aiming to collect every hidden collectible, try every word puzzle combination, and complete all boss fights without using the skip button, you can expect the game to take around ten to 12 hours. This might end up being longer if you revisit chapters several times, since the storybook cutscenes can’t be skipped.
