Rustler is a top-down open-world action RPG an irreverent medieval recreation of old-school retro GTA of the ’90s. You play as an unnamed lowly and drunken peasant, experience feudalism at its worst the daily life of serfs, religious Inquisitions, and witch-hunting. Take revenge on the nobles and join the Grand tournament, ride horses and take part in jousting competitions, beat up valiant and stupid knights in their own game, use melee weapons or automatic crossbows. Complete the main questline or get sidetracked in a variety of humorous missions and quests or just simply bring as much havoc as possible.    

• Anachronism is the theme of Rustler’s humor no horse zones, medieval martial arts arena, or a garage-like area where you can change your horse’s color to drop stars. Pop culture references like the holy hand grenade, the black knight, and other famous Monty python references.
• A variety of weapons you can get good and practice on swords, spears, turds, ranged weapons like different types crossbows and siege weapons. there’s nothing more dangerous than a speeding runaway horse or getting kicked in the head by one.
• Bards are NPC’s you can hire in Rustler they’re like your little personal radio, they will not leave your side no matter what, they will even sing another song depending on the action on the screen. Or you can just punch them if you want to change the channel.
• Rustler has no pretense on what it wants to be, be as silly as much as possible shoot cows to the sky, dress up as a guard or death himself, survive a full 5-star rampage after killing half the city.

Reviews

Want to switch channels though? Just punch the bard in the face to get him to play a different melody. And that’s the gist of Rustler’s low-brow humor and its jokes can be good for a few chuckles. That said, its jokes do wear thin after a while. It’s also a fitting analogy for Rustler: good for a few hours of light-hearted fun, but ultimately not that memorable.

Rustler is a top-down open-world medieval crime game. It’s light-hearted and fast-paced with some solid horse-riding mechanics. The ride is weighed down by painful sounds, frustrating combat, and unfunny humor. Still, if you’re looking for something low-pressure and chaotic to play, rustle up a copy.
