“Rustler clearly aim to be an hommage of the old top down GTA, and from the first look of it, the idea is honestly good. A medieval spin is original, stealing horses instead of cars, humoristic vibe and the liberty to do…”
“I picked up this game in a bundle on sale, thinking it was a one-off joke that would get old fast. Grand Theft Horse. Hahaha. This is a GOOD GAME. It does still have the same gameplay as GTA2, complete with occasionally…”
“[h1] Totally worth picking up on sale [/h1] I played this game on a keyboard and mouse, and the only problem I had was my finger getting tired from constantly holding down sprint/gallop. Overall, it's a silly but fun…”

“Has a good sense of humor but the isometric camera doesn't really do it any favors. It's pretty cheap right now so worth the purchase.”
“This is an interesting and humorous game that strongly reminds me of GTA 1 & 2. It captures that classic top-down chaos and mixes it with its own style. The game features some funny dark humor, which adds a lot of…”

“Not as good as Postal 2. You should only buy this if you already own Postal 2. I want to like this. It's a very cool idea. But I just can't deal with the controls and I put it down and probably won't pick it back up. I…”

“I absolutely have some issues with the design of some missions and mechanics, but overall it's worth a playthrough if you're a fan of the genre and the game is cheap enough to be worth your money”

“It's a fun little game, I finished all quests (But not all achievements) in about fifteen hours. The game is pretty simple, mostly a matter of running around the map doing goofy quests and a bit of combat. It's not as…”
“The game is quite fun for me. You can do things freely, and there are a decent number of quests and side quests. However, there are still some things that make the game worse, such as the controls being a bit messy,…”

“I honestly can't fathom as to why anyone would pay more than $3 for this. The graphics are sub-par but thats to be expected. Whats not expected is the pure frustrating hell that this game brings with the controls, or…”

“lost my interest. mediocre at best. refunded it, glad i did, it came out free on epic a few weeks ago. either though i'll probably never play it.”
“The concept is amusing for the first 5 to 10 minutes. Then you realise the whole point of the game is to to go from A to B, do some task, rinse and repeat. The combats are not good, you never know when your weapon will…”

“Medieval GTA, but like the first with its top-down view. Silly quests, side activities of varying fun, and a decent story. Steam overlay doesn't seem to play nice for me, so maybe disable that for this one. Seems to start some kind of memory leak or something that will…”

Too buggy…”
