RJ's Platinum Collection #6: Pumpkin Jack

Achieved on 7/23/2022 at 10:32 AM

I happened to stumble upon Pumpkin Jack when I was perusing the PlayStation store, and it happened to be on sale for like 7-10 bucks. I looked up a review of the game and was pleased to hear that it was a spooky and funny 3D platformer that harkened back to the classic days of games like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank, etcetera. So I decided to get it and get its platinum!

So, our protagonist is none other than the infamous Pumpkin Jack himself, the legendary figure who tricked the Devil out of taking him to Hell when he died, only to end up as a ghost wandering the Earth forever when Heaven didn't want him either. Except now the Devil's undead army is being defeated by a powerful wizard, so the Devil gives Jack a pumpkin-headed body and promises to lift his curse if he helps him defeat the Wizard and unleash Hell on Earth.

Yeah. We're the bad guy in this one. And it's FUN.

The game consists of six levels, starting with the Fields. You start off with a Tutorial, and I also got my first crow skull collectible and my first weapon and three trophies as well.

1/33: Prying Eyes - Pick up your first crow skull.

2/33: Brand New Body - Finish the Tutorial.

3/33: Shovel Face - Equip the Legendary Holy Glory Shovel.

Using my new Legendary Holy Glory Shovel to kill a monster got me a fourth trophy.

4/33: Skull Breaker - Defeat a monster for the first time.

And then I stumbled upon the Vendor, who you can find in each level and purchase cool new outfits from.

5/33: Fashion Victim - Buy your first new outfit from the Vendor.

I then continued playing the first level and encountered a puzzle where my pumpkin head detached from Jack's body and had to smash up some crates.

6/33: Crash Boo-ndicoot - Solve the crate smashing puzzle in the barn.

I then found the other main collectible of the game, which are gramophones hidden on each level. When you find them, Jack does an absolutely awesome dance. Groove it on, pumpkin man.

7/33: Boogie-Man Wonderland - Find a gramophone and DANCE, DANCE, DANCE!

The crow skull collectibles were all also very easy to find. I had no problem finding all 20 of them in the Fields before I got to the final boss of the level, the Scarecrow, and defeated him for another trophy.

8/33: Skull Finder - Collect all crow skulls in the Fields.

9/33: Curse of the Scarecrow - Defeat the Scarecrow.

As I continued through the Mines, the Swamp, Skeletown, and the Graveyard, I realized that each level basically had the exact same set up. You do platforming and fighting, but you also do a pumpkin head puzzle, a rail sequence, and a boss fight, and each of those segments has their own trophy. So most of the trophies were unlocked simply by playing through the game. The crow skulls and gramophone collectibles were all easy to locate throughout the levels, and I also purchased each new outfit from the Vendor along the way.

10/33: Bomberman - Complete the bomb-bouncing courses in the Mines.

11/33: License to Drive - Complete the minecart-driving section.

12/33: Skull Hobbyist - Find all crow skulls in the Mines.

13/33: Ghostbuster - Defeat the Phantom.

14/33: De-Composer - Solve the musical mushroom puzzle.

15/33: Ghost Rider - Complete the ghost horse sequence.

16/33: Skull Collector - Collect all crow skulls in the Swamp.

17/33: Cruel Tea - Defeat the Witch and the Merchant.

18/33: Whack-a-Mole - Complete the whack-a-mole puzzle.

19/33: Formula Ugh - Beat the guards in the cart race.

20/33: Skull Aficionado - Collect all crow skulls in Skeletown.

21/33: The Bigger They Are... - Defeat Dhor.

22/33: High Flyer - Complete the gargoyle-flying sequence.

23/33: Ain't No Rest For The Wicked - Complete the headstone matching puzzle.

24/33: Skull Fanatic - Collect all crow skulls in the Graveyard.

25/33: Hunger Killer - Defeat Gluttony.

And then a plot twist I did not expect came - the sixth and final level is in the North Pole. At Santa's Workshop.

Yes, Pumpkin Jack has to fight Santa Claus. It's actually incredible.

Completing the North Pole also got me the trophies for finding all the crow skulls, all the gramophones, and purchasing all the Vendor's outfits. My favorite outfit was definitely the Buzzard, it made Pumpkin Jack look so badass.

26/33: The Worst Achievement Possible - Complete the Santa presents puzzle.

27/33: Disk Jockey - Found all of the gramophones in the game.

28/33: You'll Float Too - Reach the end of the vortex.

29/33: Skull Obsessive - Collect all crow skulls in the North Pole.

30/33: You've Got A Problem, Man - Collect all crow skulls in the entire game.

31/33: Full Closet - Purchase all outfits from the Vendor.

And then you had the final boss fight against the Wizard. Now, I'll be honest, all the other bosses were easy to beat - except this one. The Wizard took me over an hour to beat, as his attacks were tricky to dodge. But eventually I got it and got the platinum!

32/33: The Baddest Bad Guy - Defeat the Wizard.

33/33: Official Groupie - Unlock all of the trophies in the game.

This game really did feel like a classic PS1/PS2 era platformer. It was fun, quirky, well-written, and I enjoyed the dark and spooky but ultimately fun atmosphere of all the levels. The only downside I give it is that it is very short. I got this platinum in less than six hours, and one of those hours was spent on the final boss fight. But I still recommend this game!

Rating: 8/10

Aw man, I just heard Broken Realms is about over with the next book. Bummer, I was hoping for a few more big strides in the setting. Like, Gorkamorka coming back with a big ass physical form and knocking heads! But, hey, a city got stepped on by aelfs, a lady became a goddess, Slaanesh spat out funky babies, my mans Bels is running around again (so happy to see him,) and Nagash got punted back to Skeletown. Still don’t even know what’s coming in the next book, but hey, not a bad run of events so far. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next for AoS. Hopefully the last book in Broken Realms knocks’er outta da park. They’ve all be slammers so far, so let’s stick the landing, baby!
