Ren'Py - Desert Stalker [v0.16c] [Zetan]

This game absolutely is a masterpiece.
The story, characters, music, art, the writing everything is just magnificent.
i played it on my android phone and i just love it so much i played about 30 games but for me this one easily is the best.
i just love the MadMax style of this game the atmosphere of the game the graphics everything i love the whole idea behind it and i just can't wait for future updates.
Big Thanks to developers and hope you release an update soon.

I prefer this game than fallout 4 , It's one of the rare games I play without going through the dialogues. It's clear that the developers really care about the game. Music, scenes and gameplay , no nonsense grind and good atmosphere. I was really upset when I got to the final scene and realized that I had finished all the content. I look forward to the next updates.

Before We Start
''Inspired by the Fallout and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, this game offers an original storyline, involving different factions and side-stories that explore romance, violence, and everything in between, sprinkled with a lot of adult-oriented content'' this is thing DEV written about this game, and we will look how much is true or not. Some of them gonna be in part of ''Good Points'' and some of them gonna be in part of ''Bad Points''

Good Points
+ First of all our game have a lot of similarity with Fallout and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, I can give that. Especially the storyline, different factions, and side stories are pretty accurate. And the most important part of Fallout is here as well: mattered choices. Choices really matter, even the very first choice you make about saving the elf girl or not affects the story a lot more than you expect and there is a lot of choice like that in our story, which makes things pretty interesting... It's a quite good point to say, and something a lot of game lack.
+ Another one is ''explore romance'' which is actually quite good for only one character for now but others don't have any romance built up and their sex scenes happen out of nowhere. Big (step) daughter's romance development was cool and reaching her first time was cute and lovely. But it's still not changing other girls/women don't have anything we can call ''exploring romance.''
+ Violence part is true as well. Blood and gore parts are quite enjoyable in this game, there is a lot of gore scene like chopping people's body parts, etc, which is make things quite realistic and even the game gives you the option of not seeing them, which is good again.
+ Character's drawings/renders look amazing... Girls/Women are so damn pretty and their facial features look well-made as well.
+ World design and render quality are pretty good as well, you can feel you are inside of a well-designed world and it's quite immersive. The usage of colors, art style, and how scenes described with pictures & animations are amazing, it's nearly good as masterpiece level.
+ Music and sound effects fits the scenes they belong pretty well and they are quite good.
+ Story is well written and things we learn later with Elf Girl lead are pretty interesting as well.
+ We have quite an interesting story-telling, especially scary/creepy scenes that are well-made and pretty good for making you nervous for sure, like Shani's haunted apartment adventure... That was scary AF...
+ Visually everything looks pretty good (Word design, interiors, sky, cars, etc...)
+ Not all sex scenes, but with the current version 70%-80% of the sex scenes have animations, and they are well-made.
+ We have lots of animations for certain scenes plus with renders, for example, you go to a new place, you see a house, the animation starts and shows different perspectives of the house, you hear sound effects along with the animation, etc. It's quite a nice touch and gives an immersive feeling. And like scenes with only pictures, these scenes have amazing art/render style and quality as well.
+ We have some QTE fights and they are pretty good, especially Shani's fight in the zone was amazing, still, it can be more detailed and better, I hope DEV improves these great QTE fights to the masterpiece level or at least adds more QTE fights like the one I told.

Bad Points
- Sex scene animations come a long way, they look pretty good now, of course there is still room for improvement, I would say they are like 4 stars quality now, and wouldn't mind them become 5 stars quality animations, especially some improvements on physics would be nice.
- Save screen IU can use some changes, classic Renpy IU is far better and easy to use.

For The End
Well... My original rating for this game was 3 stars, but thanks to improvements especially with the sex scene improvements I'm rising my review to 4.5 stars, since there is no 4.5 stars rating I will be giving 5 stars rate to the game, which is very rate thing to do for me, so I really hope the game keeps getting better and quality never drops.

Review of v0.08c.
Just.Play.It.
Thank me later.
Story 10/10 .Set upon a very nice setting and backed up with good ass lore. Choices affect characters around you and also how the story unravels. That unlocks some side quests. It is a sandbox with some RPG elements and surprisingly it doesnt feel boring.
Presentation 10/10 . Is this a Powerpoint slide? No! The way the scenery is presented is just amazing.You gotta play this to get it.
Models 11/10 .Just amazing. The models are just gorgeous and the eyes are fken mesmerising.
Gore .Just existing makes this setting so much better. And nice to see the option to partially disable it.
Music 11/10 .Its not just some boring looping BGM. There's also sound effects on certain scenes(not those kind of scenes ). This makes the game feel so alive and its actually one of its best assets. Also the combination with the presentation is just godsent.
Sex scenes 9/10 .Good if not amazing but imo could always be improved.Big + future preg content.

10/10

v0.008c

Desert Stalker is a cruel one... What I mean by that is now I am going to be stuck fiendishly waiting on every update to this beautifully written, atmospheric world.
The plot, characters, and even the music: I seriously have to commend Zetan for how truly unique this feels. And I can't wait to see how this one develops (but I reckon it will be a memorable one)

H-scenes
So far the animations and statics are simple, but beautifully done. All add to the ethos.

The "worst" complaint you will find is the "sparse" content so far, but enough to whet your appetite.

Mostly vanilla in terms of kink variety so far; though I suspect there will be far more added going forward.

In conclusion: Absolutely loved what was there, just want more of it. If you don't mind waiting: enjoy it now. Otherwise you'll certainly be enjoying it later down the line

This game is incredible, and I don't throw around praise too freely. It's got a unique post-apocalyptic world that's a mashup of fallout and mad max with tons of background, beautiful character models, entertaining characters, engaging events, choices that matter, and a story that's just starting out but very promising.

If there's a weakness to this game, it's that it can border on the edge of porny nonsense rather aggressively. The societal rules of the world are awfully convenient for throwing porn around to the extent that it prods at my suspension of disbelief every once in a while. However, this is a porn game and since exhibitionism is my kink, I find it difficult to get too annoyed that everyone is okay with the MC molesting whoever is within reach whenever he feels like it.

what can I say? this is an exceptional game in my eyes, great epic storyline beautiful models (particularly your wife and daughters, all of which have steamy sensuality to them) the music fits, the action is gritty and visceral the societal concepts are intriguing ( assuming you are a strong healthy male or female who desires to be a stalker too, or are female who likes being sub) I can't wait to see where this is going with the introductions of both a dangerous enemy and a questionable ally. Lets just say I have never been a fan of monarchies... Is this worth a download? DEFINATELY

The amount of content is enough to immerse into the story and discover its own world. The world this game creates is compelling! the one bad thing is that the characters are just ugly. You can probably guess this, but when the girls are ugly, you can't do much to enjoy animations of sex. Situations themselves are good. They are well integrated into the story and you want to see them, but it's hard when girls are like that.

An excellent game with a pretty good choice of a story. The idea of post apocalyptic Egypt is very interesting and is a rare but welcome choice of location

The music is especially spectacular, really good choices there and arguably the one of the best things about the game

UI is nice and the ability to rename the characters' affiliations is welcome too so incest can mostly be prevented through it for those who don't want it like me. In fact, you can go ahead to make the whole house a D/s based grouping by renaming the affiliations

There are no really rapey scenes betwen the mc and the others. All characters are into whats happening, which is a plus in my view

This is a good game but is slightly overrated IMO.

The story is good, well-written, intriguing. Nice music and sound effects. Pretty cute girls.

However for a game with so much gratuitous porn, the scenes each last about 10 seconds with very few animations throughout. Quite a let down considering how sex-centered the game is.

Definitely worth a play though.

It's really refreshing to play the incest theme in a completely new way.
Not the usual thing with going shopping together, then either going to a lingerie shop or a swimwear store and off you go.
Combining the "Mad-Max" theme with the incest theme (which, by the way, can be individually modified and deselected) is really successful. The graphics and the sex scenes are also great and so far it's been really fun to play.

I think this is the best adult game in this site and this even didnt finish yet. Imagine playing fallout with sex scene and plus spartacus dirtiness. The narrative is not like an teenage villian wannabe hotshot style. You can make actual though decision i didnt play against the queen or zetans at first but when i play again i am going to try it to see if it actually actually matters. So far (update 0.8) this is the best rpg adult game ever.

It's a great game if it was just a game, but the sex scene are bad, unfortunately.

STORY 5/5
The story is 10/10. The atmosphere is just phenomenal. The pacing is amazing. The script is really good and the overall premise of the plot is not overdone or cliche.

SEX SCENES 1/5
The sex scenes are really boring. There is no build up. The function of the plot in a sex game is so that you can leverage it to great tension and anticipation to get closer to the characters. However, in this game that is given to you right off the bat. You can have sex with everyone without having to work for it. I really wish I did better in terms of this because the direction and plot is so good. Unfortunately, it's just bad.

GRAPHICS 3/5
The graphics are dated, but the devs seems to have great aesthetic sense that they know how to frame scene properly, and how to evoke a certain emotion in a particular scene. That being said, the graphic assets feel very dated and empty. The character models are so typical looking and the women all look the same.

OVERALL 4/5
Great game, but it's a bit overrated right now sitting at 4.8 rating.

Amazing game. I was initially skeptical with the sandbox aspect, but everything seems intuitive and easy.

The lore in this game is phenominal, with very few games on this site actually having so much depth and intrigue to its lore. I also love how the world has cyber dystopian punk vibes, mixed with ancient egypt vibes, mixed with futuristic post apocolyptic vibes. The game dev has managed to combine these different genres into this beautiful game.

Sex scenes are great and well written too, with the perfect balance of storyline and sex dialogue.

10/10

Excellent Game.... so fo i like everything about it. The story, the environement, the sex part, the quality of the pics and animation!!! Just perfect!!! I'm not done yet and hope there is a lot more hours to play that game.

This is really awesome and exciting game, the storylines really interesting but the characters and their role in the game that really makes me a big fan of this awesome games... thank you for this wonderful game... Really enjoyed playing this....

i ve loved this cyber punk epic crazy game since the first up date

zetan do an amazing job, renders story and alos caracteres are pretty good

+ it s kind of game and atmosphere that i loved with something to chek up you brain with intensity, humour ..For open minded for sure

remind me some Si Fi or heroic fantaysie athmosphere, it can be distopyan too sometimes

A point of mad max, fall empire of ancient time, cyberpunk give a wonderfull cocktail, wehere we che'k in..
A great story a lot of choice and path make the story and the intrigue power full

One of my top 3 game

Great game. Looking forward to the next update. It's good to have an MC who isn't an 18yo semi-loser who still somehow gets all the girls, but instead an experienced badass who faces real challenges and overcomes them by skill and wits. So many VN protagonists just bumble through their respective games, its refreshing to have one who is competent.

I absolutely love this game. It keeps getting better and better with each update. The story and setting is great, post-apocalyptic world. Renders are top notch, girls are one of the best looking out there. I read some comments that they look similar, that might be true, but I don't care as long as they have character, which they do, in this game. And they're a family where members looking similar isn't a surprise.

One more thing I love about this game is that it gives you all kinds of experiences: Violence, dominance, love, etc. The MC is not some college boy banging every woman he meets (fucking finally).

My hat's off to you dev. Keep up the great work.

Amazing game. Great renders, beautiful and fun characters, an interesting setting with nice visuals and good music, extremely hot girls, sharing (optional, if you don't want it). Easily one of my top 5 VNs. Also the MC is an absolute badass, which is always nice.
