About the story
Rustler is an open-world, top-down action game paying tribute to the good old GTA style and gameplay, fusing it with a historically inaccurate medieval setting. Play as The Guy, whose parents apparently were too lazy to give him a proper name. Experience feudal injustice, inquisition, witch-hunting, and join The Grand Tournament. Meet valiant, yet incredibly stupid knights. Complete a wide variety of twisted missions and quests, or don’t give a damn about the plot and bring mayhem in the villages and cities. Choose to go on foot, or by a stolen horse. Fight with a sword or pick a fancy automatic crossbow. All that, spiced up with an inappropriate Monty Python inspired sense of humor. Rustler’s world is filled with humor, anachronisms, and pop culture references. Ever been towed for parking in a “NO HORSE ZONE”? Wanna do some cage fights in Medieval Martial Arts Arena? Or maybe pimp-a-horse a little? How about joining the Round-Earthers sect? As a poor peasant, you really need to get creative in order to win the Grand Tournament. Form weird alliances, double-cross your foes, and dig up dinosaur skeletons in a light, easy-to-understand, and hard-to-empathize-with story.

By Jordan CampbellRustler is by far the greatest indie I have played in 2021. It took my hand and brought me back to two decades ago. Whilst it is a totally different setting and era, it echoes all the happy memories I had with the GTA titles. Playing a game with those same top-down mechanics is still as enjoyable now as it was back then
WhatIfGaming
By John CarloRustler advertises itself as a parody of Grand Theft Auto with its subtitle as Grand Theft Horse. It does quite an excellent job of giving players that nostalgic vibe through its top-down style action-adventure game like the old Grand Theft Auto games. The world is gorgeous, and the music it comes along with to accompany you with your adventure.

By Ntinos GeorgiouRustler is an original attempt to take the player to the old top-down games, but due to technical problems it does not have a happy ending.

ByRustler is not great game, but crazy open-world is funny and still much better than awful GTA The Trilogy.
GotGame
By Brian ZuhlRustler is an interesting callback to the classic Grand Theft Auto style. The weird modern twist on the medieval style carries it all the way to the end of the game. The many references and jokes throughout keep the tone light and the comedy high. While it’s not the most innovative combat, it’ll keep you going into the next main quest. For fans of open world games, Rustler warrants at least one play-through, but don’t expect much past that.
