The team behind picture book adventure The Plucky Squire has heard your cries of ‘this game is too easy’, and is introducing a new level of challenge which will ‘transform’ your experience.

This is all coming with the aptly named Challenge Update, which adds new modes, new enemies, and other features and tweaks.

The first of these new modes is known simply as Challenge. This will introduce “tougher foes” and “greater trials”.

Then there is the Iron Squire mode, which ups the difficulty even more by giving you no second changes. It’s a permadeath situation, people. “Die once, your save is gone,” The Plucky Squire developer All Possible Futures wrote, wishing us all good luck.

As well as this increased level of difficulty, the studio is also adding the likes of dialogue fast forward and new achievements.

The Plucky Squire’s free Challenge update is already available for those on Steam. Console versions are coming “soon”. You can check out a little teaser for it all via the embed below.

These changes may indeed please Christian Donlan, who in Eurogamer’s The Plucky Squire review wrote:

“There’s also a handful of pacing issues, not least that the game has a habit of interrupting its own flow to explain things. I think this comes from the game having to balance two audiences – kids and adults – but there are still a few too many unskippable conversations when even younger players will want to just get on with things.”
