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

The highest quality world-building I've seen on this site so far, with an engaging story to back it up. Good amount of adult scenes spread throughout as well, with options to make dominant vs lighter decisions. Overall a solid game that really tries to be something you can be fully immersed in, rather than be a series of porn images like most games on this site.

v0.07c

I love the post apocalyptic setting, the dark and violent story, and the variety of characters. It's definitely pushing some boundaries which might turn some people off but I really dig it. I'm looking forward to what's in store in future versions.

Amazing!! The characters are very well developed and look really good. The story has a nice build up, pace and I felt myself actually getting immersed in the role of the stalker. I am still halfway through but I can't recommend this enough.

amazing renders.
amazing characters.
amazing premise.
amazing future to come for this game.
what more can you ask from a porn game?
if you like power fantasy like ravager, you'd love this! 10/10.

cons:
its a little too short for my taste as of 0.07c. but its a great wank nonetheless

One of the best games in this entire forum. Captivating story, interesting characters, beautiful graphics, and fun gameplay. Makes you wonder what will happen next.

My only complaint is updates are a bit slow

This is pretty much the only game that i play for the aptmosphere more than the porn content. The entire vibe is nailed and the story is above average as well. The characters have there interesting sides, and i like that the woman aren't all just useless 'only exist for sex' types.

It was good but I want more, I only saw little bit to where I got into game and Desert Stalker can't continue. He met his mentor which makes me wonder does story continue. I like see more of story how it proceeds. Does branch off you play female character?
It be nice if there was new creation of characters by Impregnation.

Don't know how I only stumbled upon this now but even with the "limited" content I've seen, it ranks as one of the best VNs I've played on the site....and considering the amount of reviews this has with it being a partial sandbox game, that's saying something

It's managed to combine a plethora of different themes into one and make the plot cohesive within the confines of its time period but also appealing enough for all of us to enjoy the good stuff. You might've noticed the hundreds of tags listed but the dev gives you the option to disable/enable some and to avoid some content that you may not want to see.

The renders speak for themselves. They're very smooth and well detailed and easy on the eyes. Nothing overly proportioned (maybe a little bit with the youngest daughter) that throws us off. No animations as of yet but the camera movement and transitions are among the best this site has to offer

I'm excited to have seen all this content but know that we are still pretty early in overall plot development. I can't wait to see how this one progresses

Simply the best game on this site. From the amazing world building and setting to the absolute gorgeous models and renders, this game hits all the right spots for me. Well done devs, keep up the great work.

This game is absolutely amazing. I love how unapologetic and raw it is about its kinks. Quite good writing and character interactions. Fantastic models. Only real downside so far is that the sex scenes are generally very short and just still shots. Nonetheless, what we get is well done.

Overall, very much recommended if you like things a bit grittier.

For a game that has only been in development for less than a year as of this post, the quality of the production is definitely up there. It targets a niche in the market that was available and does it well, putting a unique spin to it with gorgeous models and some well done animated scenes here and there. It's got all the qualities of a harem builder (an especially large one in this case) with a realistic setting and interesting story/world to go with it as well, so it ain't just pure "research" material either. The game I think it probably matches quality wise is Callisto, so that's a pretty good sign for what's to come in the future for those who know how well done Callisto's animated sequences are.

Something to keep in mind is that the game is really early in production. Content can probably last you a few hours rn and romance paths are just really beginning. However, for those who enjoy some good world-building in their game's of culture, Desert Stalker will probably be a new fix to satisfy you while other games are still updating.

Desert Stalker v0.07b (vanilla no mod, compressed)

Wow! Holy apocalypse! Another hidden gem of 2020 game which I missed out (I wonder why?). I just played this game for the first time today in a single sitting which took me about 6 hours to complete. I'm not sure which path I was on but I managed to unlock at least 70% of the Gallery.

The stories are well crafted, unique, and somewhat original. Really amazing stuff. Variety of characters/LIs. Well organized game, where you have main quests and side quests.

I have no complains about the renders/animations/music/visual aspects of the game because I am mostly only interested the storytelling. There are a lot of contents so far. Really looking forward on this journey.

I personally love Zahra, the MC wife. She is super amazing and super hot too . That being said, all the other females LIs are hot and interesting on their own ways too.

Well done dev team! Keep up the lewd work.

first I must say anyone that doesn't like this game has no taste what so ever.

Second i love the uniqueness of the game. I love the eyes of each character they seem bigger than normal but at the same time they don't look weird out out of place. I love the new overhaul of the game. it feel smoother and theres more story. with each update the dev releases keeps me coming back for more. and the moment i see the game I download it

Another 7th update review. Woo. Anyway, long story short, I like this one. It has world building. As in reasons for MC to do the things they do. I'm not saying its amazing or groundbreaking. Essentially its Fallout, Mad Max and Conan the barbarian all mixed together. There are actual cutscenes too. I was shocked. It's like an actual game or something. And you can choose more than "view or skip content" I think my only complaint, which is more a small gripe, is that it's short as can be. And very linear, which isn't awful. It's a very tight experience. Imagine that, A tight linear game, that may be short, feels better than 45 dateable girls that arent implemented yet and a skill and grinding system that ends up not doing much but pad out an empty game.

TLDR; I essentially spent more time subtweeting some of these other games than praising this one. ITS GOOD TRY IT.

In my opinion one of the best games here. I like the art, the story and the interface. The story is fresh and preseted very nice. The girls are HOT. The MC is is badass. I hope that the dev will keep the same style.

This is a high quality VN. It is well made. All the reviews talking about how great it is aren't wrong.

The problem is the sex is boring. There is no lust. No desire. It just isn't sexy.

I like the setting and the plot, but I grew bored of the sexual encounters as they were just not thrilling in any way.

I think the developer is very talented, but the Harem setting is simply too rushed. And there is no foreplay or build up.

Instead you just walk around putting your dick in every mouth you see. If that is your fantasy then Desert Stalker delivers. See a hot chick, make her suck your cock, and maybe later fuck her. And then move on to the next hot chick.

It looks fantastic.
The plot is interesting.
The setting is unique as well as interesting.
The sound production is great.
The interface is very professional.
Everything is very high quality.

But at the end of the day I simply wasn't turned on by the sex scenes.

I really wanted to like this, but sadly I just didn't find this sexy.

I will still try this out from time to time just to see where it goes, as it really is well made.

Definitely my favourite VN the mature MC which is a breath of fresh air, the great female characters, the graphic violence and the beautiful renders make it top tier in my opinion. Ain and Ivy best girls hands down.

Oh man, I can't believe I wasted so much time avoiding this VN. But I've finally decided to give it a try, best sleepless night I've had in a long time.

This game does many things right: the setting, the plot, the characters, the dialogues, the original concepts. The fact that this is the first review I've made, despite being a member for almost 2 years, says a lot about the quality of this game.

The plot is set in a post-apocalyptic future. In a dystopian version of ancient Egypt, where laws and morals do not exist, the player must make the right decisions to obtain the best possible outcome. Every decision counts and we must choose wisely.

The renders, on the other hand, are okay. They're not the most detailed I've seen, and the fact is that the environments lack certain detail that it leaves a lot to be desired, but otherwise I think DAZ Engine does a good job of visually representing the world that the creator tries to show us.

Yes, It lacks in the animation department (with only having about five animations in total), but it makes up with the beauty of female characters, with a wide variety of body types for every taste (I love you Ain!).
A true hidden gem in this forum.

it's literally my favorite game most things are perfect only thing missing if he had a sister and niece
you can expect
-a post apocalyptic world with no laws and few factions
-amazing story and your own harem
-uncensored fights with gore
-females with character

Ok so I will start by saying this game does so many things right that it deserves the high rating that it has. So lets start with the pros of this game.

Pros.
-Character models for the most part have beautiful faces. The bodies however are entirely subjective.
-Renders are done well.
-The ability to skip/pass on any girls you don't like
-The writing and dialogue are quite well done.
-The story is one of the more original ones.
-The world is interesting as is the setting. The dev certainly is more than capable of both world and character building.
-The developer is not shying away from some darker themes but rather jumping right into these themes. It is just my opinion here but there are just so few games on this site that are 3dcg and have animations that are about and or include the MC as a dominate personality who OWNS slaves. So this game is a breath of fresh air in that regard.

I am certain there are more pros than I listed but you can read other reviews for those with more in depth explanations now as for the cons.

Cons
-I am putting animations for this game under cons but not because they're poorly done quite the contrary actually the animations are imo very well done. The reason I list them as a con is because the game is tagged as animated but there are just so few of them in game atm and the animations are extremely short like 2-4 seconds short. That to tag this as animated makes it feel more like click bait than anything else.
-This is just personal preference here and I know I am in the minority for guys here but I am one who prefers smaller breasted women. I see many of the reviews here mentioning this game has so many kinks it touches on but apparently those must all be with the large breasted characters because I didn't see any of these kinks people are talking about with the few smaller breasted women unless all those kinks were hidden away with the one small breasted character I choose to skip other wise those kinks are all tied to either that one character or the large breasted characters I skipped because I'm not into that. But yeah if you are like me in this regard this game won't offer a whole lot of kink to you as it seems to cater the kinks to the large breast crowd apparently.
-For the same reason mentioned above this was the first game with a incest theme that I did not want to play. So that is a first so gratz there to the dev lol. The one daughter in the game that is attractive you can't do anything with except a butt massage... while the other daughter who is the big titted bimbo (which I'd say the only thing attractive about is her face) is practically thrown at the MC over and over and over and over again. So yeah first game ever to make me go you know I think I am just gonna pass on the incest part....

I would rate this game as 3.5 out 5 but this site doesn't allow that so I went with a 4 because to say it is just a average game would be a lie with how much it does right. Even with the complaints I have, those would not justify a flat 3 stars.
