The combat system is relatively straightforward- find guns and shoot them (using free aim!) There are no levels to gain, skill trees, or anything you must upgrade. Two players head out to roam, or kill other players, with metal armor and AK-47s in hand.
You could play this game indefinitely- with different maps, different players, and the updates that are continually being released, there is something new about the game nearly every week!
The meta, including the aimcone for some of the guns, the balance of tools, and other small things could use improvement, but with the monthly updates, these items are being addressed. Each island comes with at least a handful of monuments, or hotspots for loot, PvP action, and crafting tools.Ĭurrently, the only NPC’s present in the game are scientists- both the ones along the roads in the map and the ones present to guard the “outpost,” one of the monuments present on every island. There is no character customization and no classes.įor the most part, players can expect to farm, trade, craft, and mine their way to success on the island, aided by the use of some recent trading developments like outposts, vending machines, and shop fronts.ĭepending on what server you join (Hapis, Savas, Craggy Islands, and the seeds used to craft each one of these servers,) the map size and topography will be completely different, making the game one that you could play for hours on end. When you spawn into your first server, you are randomly assigned a race and gender combination, which sticks with you across servers for the rest of your time in the game. The launch site, above, is one of the recent additions to the game-one that some fans point to as backing up their Soviet launch site theory. One of the developers for the game, Gary Newman (who also developed Garry’s Mod) has alluded to having lore for the game but, so far, hasn’t released anything else about his plans. Still, other fans think that the island represents the last handful of humans after overpopulation and nuclear war wiped out the majority of the population. Others believe the island is set up as some elaborate experiment, with the scientists sent to observe and keep the peace. Some fans theorize that the island was a Soviet launch site gone wrong- with radiation rampant and the inhabitants left bald. Rust’s StoryĪlthough there is no official storyline, as the only objective of Rust is to survive, there are a few fan theories about how players ended up on the island, the role of the scientists, and the frequent flyovers by the Chinook and the attack Helicopter. Since the game’s release, players have continued to enjoy monthly updates featuring new additions like scuba-diving gear, motorboats, new monuments, and puzzles. Over the past year, the game has a concurrent player base of 50,000 players, according to Steam Charts. By March 2017, Rust had sold over five million copies on Steam. It is a multiplayer-only game that allows players to fight wolves, bears, attack helicopters, and each other on the way to surviving the ‘wipe,’ or period of time before the map is cleaned of all structures and a new island is chosen.Īlthough it was initially released through Early Access, it was officially released and brought out of the beta on February 8, 2018. Rust is a survival game first released by Facepunch studios in late 2013 through Steam’s Early Access program. Although I have played Rust (and played it extensively,), I am not being compensated for this review in any way, shape or form by Facepunch Studios or any Facepunch associates. Looking to do your research before you purchase Rust? Look no further! As someone who has played close to 750 hours in the game, in varying progress systems, with a handful of differernt monuments and seeds, and with different groups of people, I feel confident I can give you the rundown on everything you need to know about Rust.
