- Rustler 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.
John Carlo · Feb 02, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Rustler can be a fun enough game if you're willing to forgive some of its flaws. The missions may not be that different from other genre titles, but seeing it all play out from a top-down viewpoint can trigger nostalgia for those who have dabbled in the older titles. The humor is subjective enough, and the overall length feels just right, but some can attribute this to bugs and design decisions that may feel archaic nowadays. Rustler may not be for everyone, but it's good enough for those who aren't too fussy about their games.
Cody Medellin · Sep 20, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The idea of a Medieval take on the Grand Theft Auto formula is undoubtedly intriguing. That’s why it’s such a shame that Rustler falls short of realizing its full potential. From its unsatisfying combat to the rinse-and-repeat missions, it doesn’t take long before the game starts to wear out its welcome. Add to that near game-breaking technical issues, and you have a title that’s pretty hard to recommend to all but the most desperate fans of the genre.
Francis DiPersio · Sep 20, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The game just doesn’t work in the ways I wanted it to. I never felt compelled to keep going forward. Whether it was a glitch or just subpar writing Rustler never managed to draw me into its world. I struggled to finish the game and had little desire to return and mop up any side quests afterwards. There is a fun game buried underneath all of its issues, but Rustler never manages to achieve what it sets out to do.
Ken McKown · Sep 15, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Rustler is in many ways an amusing game that emulates the experience of the first GTA games. It succeeds in its offset by creating a medieval-themed spin-off of the aforementioned series. Nonetheless, it does feel a bit bland at times, and outside of the overall profanity and gritty atmosphere, there is actually not that much to experience or do in the game.
Ibuki · Sep 10, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Rustler is a game that I was really hoping for would be some stupid fun, and for the most part it nails that first part. There are some moments that made me chuckle, especially with the Monty Python stuff, but majority of it fell short. I just wish the overall gameplay had some more depth and the mission structure had more fun. There are some decent ideas here, I just feel like I was watching a comedian flop on stage and I was getting bored.
Jordan Hawes · Sep 09, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Rustler is certainly an enjoyable nostalgic trip back in time for those who are old enough to remember it. Many younger gamers of the Halo and Fornite generation may not be able to appreciate it, but they won’t know what they are missing out on.
Philip Orona · Sep 08, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - I found myself liking Rustler but without truly falling in love with it. It’s certainly a fun, witty game witty that has surprisingly challenging combat. If it piqued your fancy, then we’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
Jarren Navarrete · Sep 07, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Overall and if you’re one of the many that have done all there is to do in the latest GTA game and want something a little refreshing whilst you wait, then Rustler isn’t a bad stop off. Developer Jutsu Games have ensured that this latest title is engaging, silly and fun and with surprising detail packed into an expansive gameplay experience this is certainly going to be a surprise for many gamers out there.
Carlos Santuana · Sep 06, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - It is a bit rough around the edges, sometimes it drowns you in Monty Python references and it could have used some more polishing, but it’s a fun experience.
