Time to get a Tetanus shot
With its mix of shoot 'em up gameplay, survival and crafting elements, not to mention the evergreen inclusion of multiplayer, Rust helped popularise the format that it established back in 2013. A mobile version has long been anticipated, and this officially licensed adaptation looks promising.One of the core features of Rust is the hyper-competitive battles between clans and other, smaller groups of players. While jumping onto your PC every day can be a pain, being able to pick up on mobile and hop into defence might make this a real winner for fans new and old alike.
