Hello,

We are thrilled to share with you a game created by our friends from Games Operators. The day has come, and you can try the thug life for yourself. All thanks to the full version of Rustler, which just came out of Early Access!

Rustler is an open-world, top-down action game paying tribute to the good old GTA style and gameplay, fusing it with a historically inaccurate medieval setting. Experience feudal injustice, inquisition, witch-hunting, and join The Grand Tournament. Complete a wide variety of twisted missions and quests, or don’t give a damn about the plot and bring mayhem in the villages and cities. All that, spiced up with an inappropriate Monty Python inspired sense of humor.

BUY NOW with a time-limited 30% discount!

Dear skippers,

We just became aware that there was a blocker issue introduced in the latest update. It could sometimes block the mission summary screen from progressing.

Preview 27 is just a hotfix that clears out that issue. If this affected your game, you should be able to continue normally after downloading this update ːsteamthumbsupː

Yours,
DWS
