Technical Details

How Rustler Online Play Works

Rustler does not have online multiplayer. The game is designed as a single-player campaign with optional local multiplayer mini-games. There is no way to play Rustler online with friends on separate devices, and there are no plans to add online multiplayer according to developers Jutsu Games.

Rustler Solo & Offline Play

Rustler is designed primarily as a single-player game. The entire story campaign is solo-only where you control Guy, a peasant who steals horses and fights knights in a top-down open world. Solo play is the intended and best way to experience Rustler's humor and gameplay.

Does Rustler support Steam Deck?

Yes, Rustler is compatible with Steam Deck. Players can enjoy the game on the handheld device, although performance may vary based on settings and configurations.

Known Issues & Expectations

The biggest source of confusion is players expecting GTA-style online multiplayer, which doesn't exist. Performance on Nintendo Switch is noticeably worse than other platforms with frame drops and longer loading times. The humor is very juvenile and may not land for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Rustler free on the Epic Games Store?

Yes, Rustler has been free to redeem on the Epic Games Store until January 29, 2026. Future offers regarding the game are still unknown.

How long is Rustler's campaign?

The main story takes approximately 8-12 hours to complete. Doing all side content and exploration can extend playtime to 15-20 hours.

Is Rustler actually like GTA?

Yes and no. Rustler uses a similar top-down perspective and open-world chaos as old GTA games (1 and 2), but set in a medieval parody world. It has no online multiplayer like modern GTA games.

Which platform runs Rustler best?

PC and current-gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S) run Rustler smoothly. Nintendo Switch has the worst performance with frame drops and longer loads.
