What is Rustler (Grand Theft Horse)?

This top-down, open-world action game takes place in a deliberately anachronistic medieval setting. As a peasant aiming to win the Grand Tournament, you take missions or roam towns and villages on foot or horseback, stealing horses and fighting with swords and crossbows.

For you if...

+you enjoy open-world mischief and old-school top-down action
+you like absurd medieval jokes and pop culture references
+you prefer choosing between missions and free roaming

Not for you if...

−you want a serious, historically grounded medieval story
−you prefer linear missions without open-world distractions
