The medieval video game Rustler for Xbox

Welcome to the Middle Ages of Rustler, a great horse theft experience available for Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S. While it may lack some of the modern conveniences we are used to, it certainly has its own charm. For our anti-hero simply called Guy, he represents a thriving land of opportunity and, with the help of his friend Buddy, he will lie, cheat and sneak his way into the Grand Tournament, a major event held across the kingdom where the prize final is the hand of the princess in marriage.

Guy is not bound by an ancient chivalric code and is determined to use whatever means necessary to conquer the kingdom, even if it means bringing it down in the process. It's a long way to the top, so here are some tips on how to start your medieval adventures.

Spending skill points

As you complete missions, find collectible horseshoes, and progress through the story, you'll earn skill points, a spendable currency that can be used to purchase permanent upgrades for your character. These include passive bonuses like higher max HP or improved stamina regeneration, as well as active abilities like the ability to summon your horse from anywhere or pick up items without dismounting.

With so many to choose from, it can seem difficult to know where to spend your first points. We suggest you invest a few starting points in a higher health pool, which should make some of the early missions and side missions a little easier, being able to rack up a few extra hits when you encounter the guards, who aim to lock you up for causing any misdeeds. The little extra health will also make some mini-games a little easier to complete without dying.

Finding the right car

Not all horses are created equal. These mounts serve as the primary means of transport in Rustler and they have some characteristics that distinguish them. Leaner horses are faster and more agile, while armored horses will absorb more damage before falling or running away. Keep this in mind before you jump into battle on horseback or hit the track to run for some extra cash.

Fortunately, you can "borrow" a different type of horse parked around the map at any time, but don't get caught while you do so. If you have the "cops" on your trail, you can always visit a "Pimp-a-Horse" location to give you and your mount a new look, turning away those chasing you and canceling your wanted status and your size. .

Minigames are a good distraction

There is a plethora of side activities that are easy to miss across the kingdom, but they are worth stopping by and trying them out. Horse racing will help you familiarize yourself with the terrain and teach you the most advanced riding techniques, and you can earn some extra cash just for participating.

If you are ready for a little more action, you can try your hand at the great medieval pastime of jousting or enter the dirt arena to test your strength in some traditional MMA-style fights. Many of these mini-games will help prepare you for the real thing by improving your skills, providing valuable skill points, and an influx of cash to spend on upgrading Guy.

Master the different weapons

There are a huge variety of traditional and quirky weapons waiting to be discovered in Rustler, and whether you procure them from the bodies of your enemies or buy them with hard-earned money, they will be yours to keep forever. A halberd gives your great reach and damage at the cost of a slower swing speed which is great for keeping tough enemies out but not nearly as effective in close combat with knights knocking you down.

Also, while the tried and tested sword and shield offer you good all-round defensive and offensive options, but its lack of range becomes a problem when riding, where a spear, crossbow or spear excels. Each weapon has its pros and cons, so experiment and find the one that works best in each situation.

There is a lot to do and discover in the absurd open world of Rustler, so explore, experiment and don't be afraid to go crazy and have fun at the expense of others. Rules were meant to be broken, after all. Rustler is available today for Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.

“Grand Theft Horse - Win the kingdom or take it down

Classic GTA gameplay gets a medieval makeover. The Grand Tournament offers the hand of the princess as a prize. Go from local brigand to champion. Or not. Guy (which is you) and his friend (conveniently called Buddy) are out to win the prize with sacred hand grenades, exploited horses, and their personal minstrels in tow. It's madness and chaos with a real comic twist.

Main features

 Grand Theft Horse: Wreak havoc in a medieval world inspired by classic GTA gameplay. Use swords, spears, assholes - whatever gets the job done!
 Wear the Crown: As a poor farmer, you will have to be creative to win the Grand Tournament. Form strange alliances, betray your enemies and unearth dinosaur skeletons (why, why not?).
 A medieval sandbox - how you progress is up to you. Spend your time completing missions, wreaking havoc and having a laugh at the expense of others!
 Lots of Horses Around: Shoot the cows in the sky, drag your neighbors into the mud, throw some sacred hand grenades or draw fancy pictures in the field with a plow.
