There’s more than a few well-placed pop culture references to catch too, most notably a few nods to Monty Python. Ride in to one being chased by an entire battalion of guards and they’ll all instantly lose your trail simply because the brown horse is now grey. The spray shops of GTA that remove any wanted level? They’re replaced by Pimp-A-Horse paint shops which will repaint your stallion. They even change the song they’re playing when you punch them.
You can hire these to ride/walk alongside you while playing their lute or beat boxing. The radio stations have always been an important part of a GTA games and the equivalent here comes in the shape of bards. There’s certainly aspects of this game that are little more than toilet humour.įor every moment of uninspired, almost childish humour though, there are moments of inspired, irreverent hilarity in Rustler. Graffiti found around the main town simply says “F**k the King” which serves no practical purpose other than being a random bit of profanity. Throwing poop at people is an offensive capability, in more than one way I suppose. The game has a dedicated button to make Guy fart or burp, for example.
While this is certainly an ‘adult’ game, I’d stop short of calling it ‘mature’. Much like the first two GTA games, the tone of the humour in Rustler will be divisive. In order to pull this off, they’re going to need some capital up front so they go about their olde worlde environment pulling off outlandish jobs for a whacky cast of characters. Teaming up with his ne’er-do-well friend ‘Buddy’, the pair set out to forge some documents, crash the royal party, beat the competition at the tournament and make off with as much loot as possible. After killing a knight at the behest of his boss, Guy learns of a tournament to be held by the land’s nobility. In Rustler you take on the undesirable role of ‘Guy’, a horse thief, thug and general miscreant.
