About this game

Once a renowned but retired hero, Buckethead finds himself in a bizzare and overwhelming future, where he's forced to adapt to new rules and to find himself a new place in the world. Luckily, a group of adventurers entrust him with a vital mission - to return the HOLY GRAIL and prevent yet another global crisis. And no one is better suited for this than our good, old Buckethead!

He'll have to run, jump, fight monsters, collect treasures, and make some intriguing acquaintances!

Whether he'll preserve his humanity in the process... Well, that's another question entirely.
