JACK: Are you sure? You look like a monster to me. MERCHANT: Yes! I’m not here to hurt you, sir! Take when Jack meets the merchant the first time: The comedic timing in some parts is perfect. In fact, every line of dialogue is well written. Jack makes sure to take that license to kill given to him by the Devil and murders everything in his path.Īnother thing that makes this most entertaining is the quips Jack and his allies make in regards to his situation. So you sit right in the middle of the war, and everyone hates you.

The story is rather entertaining, and that’s mostly because Jack acts with fifth freedom on his adventures - and that’s because the monsters are mindless, so they’ve no idea how to tell Jack apart from friend or foe, and because the humans despise monsters they’ll always take him on. And if you haven’t realized it by now yes, you do play the bad guy. The Devil decided to join in the fun, and that’s where Jack comes in. The humans, however, didn’t take that lying down so they called upon their champion, the Wizard. This created mindless monsters that roamed the world and fought against the humans. Jack was reincarnated into a pumpkin because the Devil himself decided he needed a little more mischief and chaos in Arc En Ciel he unleashed the Curse of the Eternal Night. In fact, his real name is Stingy Jack (kind of a weird name for the character, but I’ll let that pass).
Pumpkin Jack is a game where you control a pumpkin… named Jack. To top it all off, it’s singlehandedly made by a solo dev named Nicolas Meyssonnier. Pumpkin Jack has that in spades, and it’s a game I wish came out many, many years ago. These games all have a special place in my heart, and it’s mostly because they had a little spark that made them special. First, it was Crash Bandicoot, then Spyro, then eventually Ratchet and Clank, and Jak and Daxter. They were the first real genre that got me into video games, around 20 years ago. Long are the days gone where 3D platformers dominated the gaming space.
