About this game
Turn chaos into order as you move the herd to its destination through one of the most rugged landscapes on Earth. As if moving thousands of unique animals isn’t hard enough, pests such as Water Buffalo, Scrub Bulls and more will disrupt your mission!
These assets among others will assist you in this challenge:
Helicopters, which generate ample noise and dust to stimulate the herd
Cattle Dogs, including the famous Blue Heeler
Bull Catchers, allowing you to deal with challenging pests
Horses, a versatile and trusted friend who isn’t startled by a stock whip
Road Trains, to load the cattle up and finish the job!
You started as a mustering contractor, moving herds for whoever will pay, but its time to start acquiring living assets if you want to get ahead. They’re yours, you are their steward, and their destiny is in your hands. You will need to battle weather, markets, and mother nature herself for you and your herd to come out on top.
Every good musterer dreams of running their own land. Pasture will grow from mustering contracts into full station management — building infrastructure, running markets, and leaving your mark on the land.
Early Access is the start of that journey. We’re building it hand-in-hand with players to make the most authentic livestock simulator ever made.
Looking after thousands of cattle is not simple, but we have laid the framework from the start for Pasture to be ‘Aggressively Multiplayer’ have a friend join you remotely or from the couch to help you get those cattle home! (If you really like, bring your offsider on the couch with you to someone else’s farm online!)
Keen to find some like minded musterers? Join our bustling community of ranchers, rustlers and cattle lovers! Come and talk to the developers, and tell us what you would love to see in the game!
