Ren'Py - Desert Stalker [v0.19.4] [Zetan]

I really loved this game, it has a really good story, characters, world building, action, romance, Harem, etc.. animation and art is great you don't have to worry about it, we will get cut scenes which are gorgeous , and sex is also very good and animated , especially models all are beautiful,

You will definitely love this game , my another favourite game is the mother and wife.

Your decisions matter a lot and the visiuals are amazing! You play a scavanger, get a hold of slaves and train them, develop your relationship with all of your family, the queen and rebels. My favourite game so far.

Mature but well-integrated.
Scenes are erotic yet maintain the story’s gritty tone.
The variety of characters — from mysterious companions to local survivors — keeps things interesting. The developer avoids making it feel like pure fanservice.

If you enjoy a good story in your porn, you have to play this one.

Desert Stalker takes place in a dry dystopian future version of our world, somewhere in Egypt. It combines thematic plagues from old mummy stories with scifi technology and mutations to create a world you can't help but want to read more about. If that's not enticing enough for you, it also has steamy, rough, and endearing dialogue choices you can make to shape your relationships with a cast of dozens of women--many of whom can be invited to live in your house, with optional incest and pregnancy.

For some other specs: the music, graphics, and animations are all of excellent quality. The women are gorgeous with a wide variety of body types/ethnicity. There are (almost) no minigames or puzzles to slow down gameplay, and just a few mandatory cutscene videos across dozens of hours of playtime.

The only thing I can think of that might turn some people off is that the world's incredibly patriarchal. It's a harem game, so you should probably expect it, but many scenes in the game suggest that women rarely become more than someone's wife/concubine and, no matter how strong a woman is, they're waiting for a stronger man to dominate/claim them. If that's a dealer breaker for you, you might want to turn around.

I can't believe I took so long to try this one, it's an instant top 10 for me in terms of storytelling on this site.

This game is easily in my top 5. Amazing story, awesome lewds, brilliant graphics, good music.
Start playing this and you will really love it for the premise, the scenery , build-up and generally the whole story.
The only aspect I don't like is the excessive BBW focus. Women who appear normal while in a dress suddenly have big tits the moment they undress. It makes it a bit weird. If you can overlook that aspect, this is a brilliant VN.

I dropped this AVN a while back ’cause, you know, although it is good, I felt it was just a fuck-fest with a sprinkle of world-building added on. I decided to pick it up again, and my god, it’s a fuck-fest done well with a hard-hitting story. The premise is unique, so that alone should pique your interest. I can see why this is so popular among fans. It blends everything well. It doesn’t insult the player’s suspension of disbelief. Every kink, every taboo, every bit of shit that happens in the world of Desert Stalker perfectly fits within its story.

The funny thing is, I was never a fan of the kinks in this game—but my god, this game got me into those with ease. We have a world that’s completely out of its depth when it comes to morality and rules. The writing makes it believable, and that’s one of Desert Stalker’s biggest strengths. Man, this is porn done right. This is power-fantasy harem done right.

One of my favorite parts of this game was when we could switch to Shani. Yeah, those who’ve played it will definitely recall that. It was wonderfully written with the themes of longing and choice.

It’s sandbox, but there ain’t a lot of grinding, and the game pretty much tells you what to do. The story seems to be picking up and going in an interesting direction. I loved interacting with the factions and different girls. You can adjust certain kinks to your liking. There’s history, politics, survival… it’s a wild ride, but definitely one worth taking.

So if you’re in for a wank, play it. If you’re in for the story and world-building, play it.

3.5/5

The story is great—well written and well paced. It offers plenty of kinks to explore without forcing you into them. The narrative can branch in some surprising ways, and how you interact with the characters is entirely up to you. The game doesn’t punish you for being either a good or bad person. The characters are hot, the renders and animations are solid, and every technical aspect keeps improving with each update. Plus, the dev listens to criticism and responds accordingly. Great game with hours of content.

On one hand the game is obviously well made. The dev knows how to write charcaters as well as story and does good worldbuilding. The renders are also great. On the other hand most of the sexual stuff is kind of sick and I don't get how people can immerse themselves, when the stuff that happens is actually fucking crazy. Every woman is basically a sex slave to the MC and what is worse also the MC's "daughters" are. I really don't care too much when there is some incest in a VN, I am not religious or anything, especially when it's like brother-sister or from the perspective of some teenager, but when it's from the perspective of the parent and then also not just with random stupid porn game logic but actually trying to make a believable romance/relationship I think it's honestly quite messed up. And you can't really not do this stuff if you want to play the game like its intended as it is already put into the backstory.

Apart from that I just don't like when all LIs just want the MC unconditionally, that's just not interesting.

I really don't know why this is so highly praised and has been the highest rated game on this site for a long time. It's just another glorified VN that's not labeled as such. Not good for a porn game. I'm not giving it one star because the story is at least decent. But I don't download porn games to get an engrossing and lore-heavy story, I want to jerk off.

Gameplay:
Adventure VN
The game is a VN. You have a little bit of choice on what quest you will follow, and you have to make some decisions which can impact the story. I did only a single run, so I'm not sure. Not much to say.

Story:
The core of this game is it's story and lore. You are in a post-apocalyptic world that feels a lot like Mad Max, but with many differences also. The MC is like a powerful adventurer-warrior working for a kingdom lead by a queen. Other factions are around, and this is a harsh world. The morale in this world is quite strange.
There are mysteries around that you will try to discover.

Graphics/Animation:
This is high quality CG graphics, with lots of various scenes. It's well made and gets better the further you go. Except it's a bit too clean... The MC looks first like a baby face.

Sound/Music:
It's well done and suit the game.

Overall impression:
This is an interesting game with a very elaborate and quite original worldbuilding. It may be a bit disturbing with the violence and the morale. But the scenes are beautiful.

I playing this game since patch 0.5(all old medel) but I never give this game any rate to this site yet, now it is time for rating this game since my english more improving better then 5 years ago

This game was the first that I play before I know what Visual Novel game is, This game is 1000 out of 10 for me, you might know what charator is my favourite from my profile's pic lol

Ain is my only goddess and I love this model so much I don't know how Zetan do that or find this kind of model but Ain model is perfect in EVERY way that you can imagine. (I also like the reworked model the most)

Review of Desert Stalker (v0.19)

Desert Stalker is a rare gem in the world of adult visual novels,
standing out with a setting that feels closer to Mad Max or the classic
Fallout titles than the typical slice-of-life or high school scenarios
the genre is known for. Even in its current early version (0.19), the
game already shows the polish and ambition of a potential AAA release.

The story unfolds in a harsh, post-apocalyptic desert world where
survival is brutal and resources are scarce. This backdrop allows for
mature, often grim storytelling filled with gore, dark humor, and
moments that test both the characters’ humanity and the player’s moral
compass. It’s a refreshing change of tone that immediately separates
Desert Stalker from its peers.

What makes the experience engaging is the strong narrative design.
Instead of relying on clichés or safe formulas, the writing leans into
the brutality of the world while still offering room for intrigue and
memorable interactions. The game successfully balances bleakness with
just enough levity to keep the player invested, making every new scene
feel meaningful.

On the visual side, Desert Stalker impresses with artwork and animations
comparable to (slightly) older AAA RPGs. This visual quality supports the gritty
atmosphere and helps immerse the player in its dangerous desert setting.
Combined with solid pacing and gameplay flow, the result is a project
that feels not just promising but already rewarding to play.

For anyone seeking an adult VN that dares to move beyond the usual
tropes, Desert Stalker is absolutely worth following.
It’s one of the best AVNs and games I’ve played in the last thirty years.
I hope the Devs continue their great work.

The game is a masterpiece.

Models are beautiful with well-defined characters and, most importantly, there is a story going on – actually a few of them. Lots of side quests that bring you around a nice post-apocalyptic environment - a mix of Fallout, Madmax and Badlands. Renders and animations are excellent and dialogues are indeed meaningful without the repetitive nonsense so common in the genre.

Well done dev, keep up the good work!

Everything is good in this game , one of the best i've played (Scene ambient, places, characters, music, storyboard, diversity morph)
Very good job .
Hope new individual scenes with different character in the next updates (Ain , Zahra, ...)
Wish you the best for next.

The story and options are incredible, the paths are very different, and the options can be quite extreme. At the same time, they can be disabled on my game for those who don't like them. The characters are very different from each other. And the post-apocalyptic setting is sensational. It's definitely my favorite Ren'py game.

A wide range of fetishes and content. The sandbox elements make the game interesting without being too grindy. Lots of different characters covering a wide range of tastes. Animations are tidy and models are well made. Overall a great game, 8/10.

My rating - 10/10
Definitely must play. No grinding, No 2 hour long monologues, perfect balance of story and content.
Although other characters and events are amazing, I play this game only for Ain. What a marvel.

I kind of find it hard to believe I hadn't reviewed my favorite game in this site by a long shot, I've even referenced it in other posts as the summary of a game that ticks every box of what I like.
Desert Stalker is what I would describe the ultimate male power fantasy, you are HIM, you get to do whatever you want with little to no consequences (including rape to a lesser degree, because most of the time girls in the universe already want to sleep with the MC). There's also this power dynamic in your house hold where all your companions, family members, servants and even slaves all respect and encourage you to pursue sexual relationships with other characters. If you like to feel completely in control of stories and you like dominant MCs with also a really good sandbox integration to pursue the characters you like, this is the game for you.

One of most generic and incoherent games on the site, not quite sure why it has such a good rating but for me it is just a mid vn with ugly ass renders that don t fit together at all. Not quite a 1 star as it does have a lot of content, but i see no point in playing this over any other generic vn.

The story’s actually pretty interesting, with solid writing and some really engaging world-building. At the end of the day, it’s still a harem game, so don’t expect people to act with real-world logic—it’s all make-believe. That said, it never felt overly cringey and, honestly, came across more believable than most games in the genre (if a world like this somehow existed).


The cast is fun, and the character routes feel pretty diverse for what you’d expect here. Each girl has her own personality, struggles, and goals, which kept things fresh. The MC was also a nice change of pace—confident and experienced instead of being the usual awkward, angsty teen.


I haven’t played too many VNs, so the graphics took me a little while to get used to, but they grew on me fast. For a solo dev, they’re seriously impressive. All the girls look great, with The Queen and Kitty being my favorites (wish we got more with Kitty, honestly). My only nitpick is that pretty much every girl has big-to-very-big boobs—I’d love to see at least one smaller-chested girl added in for variety.


The music’s fine, though it can get a little repetitive if you focus on it. I also ran into a few long stretches with no audio—not sure if that was intentional or just a bug. The lack of NSFW sound effects stood out too, though I’m still on the fence if adding them would actually make the experience better or just weird.


Overall, I’d 100% recommend this if you’re looking for a solid NSFW VN. I’ll definitely be checking out future updates. It gives a unique experience that you will enjoy compared to most AVNs.
