Experience a medieval twist on GTA with this week’s free Epic game!
If you’ve ever imagined a world where Grand Theft Auto takes a medieval twist, then the latest free offering on the Epic Games Store is right up your alley. Players can snag Rustler for free for a limited time.
Rustler, also known as Rustler (Grand Theft Horse), is an open-world action game that embraces chaos. Set in a “historically inaccurate” medieval European landscape, you step into the shoes of The Guy. Who is The Guy? Just The Guy. You have the freedom to engage in quests or indulge in some wild antics, like swiping horses and parking them in no-horse zones or taking out clueless knights in a Monty Python-esque fashion. Much like the best entries in the GTA series, Rustler provides a sandbox experience for your criminal escapades. This time, instead of a radio, you’ll have a bard trailing you, playing tunes that you can change by giving him a good punch.
To grab Rustler for free, simply log into the Epic Games Store and claim it. The game will be available at no cost until Thursday, Jan. 29 at 11 a.m. EST.
Looking ahead, next week’s free game on the Epic Games Store is Definitely Not Fried Chicken, where you can fulfill your Los Pollos Hermanos dreams by running a legitimate chicken restaurant (or another above-board venture) while managing your true source of income.
