We really wanted to love The Plucky Squire when it landed on Switch last month. Unfortunately, poor performance and a swathe of bugs meant that All Possible Futures’ storybook adventure wasn’t quite as plucky as we would have hoped.
The developer has released a handful of updates in the time since, trying to improve the game as it stands and today, we’ve landed another.
The latest patch brings things up to ver. 1.4.0 and it looks like bugs and technical glitches have been the target this time around. The full patch notes were shared by the game’s official Twitter account and we have gathered them together for you to check out below.
