In Skate Story, you’re a demon but not just any demon. You’re made of “glass and pain.” The only route to freedom is by making a deal with the Devil, who tells you to skate to the Moon and swallow it. A simple task, though potentially shattering into a million pieces with each botched trick can be a problem.

Despite its far-out set-up and plot, this is still a skateboarding game. There are over 70 tricks to perform, skate trials to complete, new gear to earn and various troubled souls to help out. With nine layers to explore and a smooth soundtrack by Blood Cultures and John Fio, Skate Story may be worth keeping an eye on.

As Jot explores this new 3D world, he’ll also transition back to the 2D world. Platforming and exploration abound thanks to a jet pack but The Plucky Squire dips into many other genres. One moment players will solve puzzles a la Zelda, and the next they’ll be boxing with badgers.

There’s even a side-scrolling shoot ’em up section, a boss fight akin to the old-school Rambo games with a bow and much more. Developed by All Possible Futures, The Plucky Squire is slated to release in 2023. Stay tuned for more gameplay and details in the coming months.
