Adventures in Bucket Knight filled with crazy shootouts in a fantasy world that is designed in the form of an old-school platformer. Players will move through two-dimensional locations with a side view, running as a character and collecting bonus coins in the levels. While exploring the map, you will have to meet opponents and destroy them with a high-speed revolver. The hero is the Barrel Knight, who is studying the legend and searching for the Holy Grail with personal goals for the artifact.

Users in Bucket Knight will have to navigate dark dungeons, dodging enemies and treacherous traps. The protagonist is looking for a lost relic in order to be able to pay off his mortgage. In the process of adventures, the hero will stumble upon treasures that increase bonus points when completing missions. The design of the locations is made in the form of retro pixel graphics, which creates a lamp-like feeling from the gameplay. Enemies will attack the protagonist using melee or ranged weapons.

The nameless hero with a barrel on his head will advance through various levels, where the main goal will be to cover the distance, as well as try to get to the next location. The protagonist has a limited supply of health, which can be raised using food, which sometimes appears on the map. You will have to collect treasures, coins, gold and other types of jewelry so that the character can pay off his debts and return to normal life.
