+ good idea with dose of modern humor in medieval times + great potential + pleasant graphic - performance issues - still needs some polishing
Played for half an hour or a bit longer and finished three missions and won the first three, four rounds at the tournament. And it was fun so far (thanks for the free Prologue-trial, by the way!). I have a few things I would like to talk about: Positive: - Great humour and presentation, music, setting - cool idea in general to combine old-school GTA with the medieval setting - the sarcastic over-the-top-humour and modern touch in it (super funny intro with the gangsta-music, the cow on the roof and all that, music in general, "Pimp My Horse", funny mumbling in dialogues) - grafic is cool, colourful and everthing works fine on my PC (framerate, zoom-out when you ride...) - missions seem to be diverse/varying and the characters you interact have that typical "GTA-Pimp/Gangster-feeling" - fighting system is somehow cool, it´s challenging, but fair, and more demanding as I thought on the first glance - you can intensify the level of blood in the setting to 5,0 times as much! Great, just great! A few, but minor not-so-positive-aspects/ideas for improvement (so far): - the map: I missed some sort of an overall legend/icons and perhaps you could include a transparent map? (especially when you ride/walk with the map opened) - didn´t find my saving spot in the end, after the "Friend of a Friend"-mission with the bard (although I rediscovered my home, where I was told to save the game after the first mission, is it a bug?) - played on PC with a controller, would be cooler to close the map with B-button as well instead of just pressing "select" - please add in your setting-menu some sort of key-assignment-overview (especially in the beginning, took a few minutes to get used to which button does what, but I´m old, so that´s probably my fault ...) - sometimes it was annoying to fall of the horse because of riding into other things (but this is probably, because I didn´t play super-well myself, argh!) - perhaps you could insert a zoomable camera when you walk? (could be cool here and there to have a wider view, especially in the city) Finally: The issues I mentioned as negative are no big deal, just some stuff, that I would like to have/like to see improved and they obviously do not ruin the game. But it would be cool, if you could fix this and that detail (especially map-related). And, of course, I don´t know so far, how you are going to progress with the game. But the most important thing is that you made a game which feels and plays itself like a "medieval GTA1" and you succeeded with that! Good luck and thanks for the free trial!

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up
GTA 1 + GTA 2 + Medieval theme = Rustler Note that this game is even in pre alpha access, before throwing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ negative review read the RED BANNER ON TOP OF SCREEN that this game is not representing the final product. The gameplay is decent if you are into GTA 2 and the theme is great. The only flaw is the difficult controls because they have added aiming mouse support which was not in GTA 2 and GTA 1, so imagine if you could control your character direction by mouse and move him by keyboard in a top down view. It is exactly like GTA 2, you can steal horses you can upgrade and change their colour to avoid the knights (Police). More wanted levels you get, more armed knights will get in your way, from sword to crossbows etc... Overall it is a masterpiece because of its creativity!

Looks promising. GTA 2 vibes all over it. Alot of weird humor. Reading latest negative reviews i can add this: this game got fluid controls, and no problems with fps at all, nice optimilisation. Ppl who complain about controls are literally noobs and dont know how to play games with old style like this one. Ima buy this game asap when it get released.
Сразу предупреждаю, что описываю впечатления о прологе игры, а не о полной версии. Задумка о ГТА в средневековье однозначно выглядит интересно и вроде бы всегда лежала на поверхности, а воплотилась только сейчас. Геймплей в игре как минимум интригующий и заставляющий в него поиграть, а не удалять игру сразу. Но вот техническая часть игры однозначно подкачала. Анимации коряво проигрываются и в целом имеют проблемы. Карта довольно обширная, а точка сохранения одна. Сама карта совершенно убогая, неинтерактивная, с ней нельзя взаимодействовать, увеличивать, ставить метки. Озвучка персонажей сделана под стиль, но звучит просто ужасно. На мощном ПК временами проседает фпс и от качества графики в настройках это не зависит. В целом очень сыро по всем параметрам. К сожалению, пролог игры меня не утвердил в приобретении полной игры. Окончательное решение приму только после пробы пиратки. Надеюсь, что как и указано в прологе, это была ранняя версия и к релизу многое поправили. Но по эмоциям от пролога покупать не советовал бы.
Giving the developers my trust to fix the performance issues, I find the game quite enjoyable. I feel more like the "Prologue" is a fancy name for "Open Beta", and keeping that in mind i think that final product will be a blast in casual-after-work-gaming field. Will recommend, but devs, please, don't let me down :D
hope: pls add keybind on release i play one handed n would love to play this.
Als großer Fan von Rustler: Prologue kann ich sagen, dass ich das Spiel absolut liebe! Die offene Welt ist voller Möglichkeiten und es gibt immer etwas Neues zu entdecken. Ich finde es großartig, wie das Spiel humorvoll und satirisch mit dem mittelalterlichen Setting umgeht - es lässt mich oft schmunzeln. Auch die Charaktere im Spiel sind wunderbar gestaltet und haben alle ihre eigene Persönlichkeit. Es macht Spaß, mit ihnen zu interagieren und sie auf ihren Quests zu begleiten. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Grafik des Spiels, die wirklich schön gestaltet ist. Die Farben sind lebhaft und die Umgebung ist detailliert und realistisch gestaltet. Alles in allem ist Rustler: Prologue ein wirklich tolles Spiel, das ich jedem empfehlen würde, der sich für Open-World-Abenteuer und mittelalterliche Settings interessiert.
Muy Buenas Compis! Recomiendo el juego porque el tio es cabronaz0 calvo como yo XDD, si pagamos maximo 15 euros y tenemos en cuenta que es un juego indie no puedes esperar pillar el juego del año pero si echarte unas risas. -> La idea es muy original pero esta mal llevada a la practica, puede que sea un homenaje al gta original pero eso no significa que los controles sean tan malos como si estuvieran programados en esa epoca x.x y la vista cenital un poco molesta -> El tema de las persecuciones se lo tendria que currar un poquito mas da la sensacion que son un poco reguleras -> Yo no se si es que soy manco ( que tambien ) pero da la sensacion que la curva de dificultad es alta, -> Tiene sus puntos. Como digo mi horita al prologo me dejo una doble sensacion me gusto la parte de la historia, los puntos y alguna mision pero los controles y las persecuciones me resultaron bastantes malas, muriendo varias veces... Si quereis reiros de rato manqueando un rato os dejo el video y os haceis una idea https://youtu.be/tEMAYNBMGAI Saludos
