The centerpiece of the update is Challenge Mode, a tougher difficulty setting that introduces some interesting twists to the game. In Challenge Mode, these minigames get harder, with more enemies to fight and tougher attack patterns to deal with. What’s most interesting about the Challenge Mode update is that it doesn’t stop at just making what’s already in the game harder. Until July 10, The Plucky Squire is part of the Steam Summer Sale with a 35 percent discount. The Challenge Mode update is live now on PC and coming later to consoles.
