Rustler is an action-adventure video game developed by Jutsu Games and published by Modus Games.

Gameplay

Players play as "The Guy" a peasant in a "historically inaccurate medieval setting" where the player can partake in missions or opt to roam the world and partake in activities such as stealing a horse, engage in cage matches, or cart drifting.[1] Also, players have access to various medieval weapons such as crossbows, spears, swords and flails.[2]

Development

Developer Jutsu Games is based in Poland.[3] Rustler first entered early access on February 18, 2021.[2] It was fully released on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch on August 31, 2021.[4][5]

Reception

Rustler received mixed reviews on Metacritic across all platforms.[6] Nintendo Life praised the medieval setting but criticized what they felt were shoddy controls.[7] Push Square called it a "fun adaptation of old-school GTA" but said it "tries a little too hard at times".[8]
