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

I've grown somewhat bored with light-hearted games lately and decided to give this game a shot and I was very happy. It should be noted there is gore and violence in this game but there is the option to disable/skip it for those who aren't so keen on it. I love the female character models, I mean I am hard-pressed to say any are better than the others, which is pretty rare for me to find. The game is still new and there isn't quite too much content but I'm quite sure it will grow into something worthwhile in time. I enjoy the brutal/dominating aspects it offers, FINALLY when you choose to lay down the law your character doesn't act like a pansy when going about it. I will say I hope a hint button is added, if there is one I didn't see it. Sometimes I forget just what I was doing and where I am supposed to go in games so having that is helpful for forgetful people like me. It's not that hard to figure out, I'm just slow sometimes. This game has my attention and I hope you'll at least give it a shot.

Pros:
Acts like a badass when acting like a badass.
Great female models.
Dark story elements
Dystopian/Apocalyptic setting (think Mad Max)

Cons:
Have to wait for an update for more content (lol)
Bald MC (this is more of a joke con, don't take this seriously)
No hints currently
Not a lot of content *YET*

The dystrophic apocalyptic future plot of this game makes it pretty interesting. The female characters are all pretty. The sandbox system is from my point of view unnecessary and the story would have been more smooth in a classic kinetic story with many choices. Anyway the storyline is really special and does have the potential to become a big game. I hope the next updates are somehow bigger and bring the story more forwars. Feel like still scratching at the beginning. So far I like the game in general a lot. 5 of 5 star from me.

Fantastic so far, choices really play out uniquely, not just 'pick the correct option to progress or nothing happens.'
-Dialect could use some polishing, nothing is lost from the story as a result but it's still a bit ESL.
-Great music and SFX, like, probably the best music in any of these games that I've come across, except.... The cars all have blowers and one even looks to house a V16 (awesome),
SO WHY DO THEY SOUND LIKE GRAN'S 3 CYLINDER DAIHATSU????

That said, super promising so far, really liked it.

It is pretty rare that a game instantly checks every box for me, but here it is.

-Characters - Super hot and likeable
-Story - Original and fun
-Ain content is very hot. Maledom done right
-Just the right amount of violence and gore for a dark setting, but not overly or grotesquely done
-Zaton is just an overall badass, and takes what he wants while the women in his life support him happily

Only things I can say is that the updates felt a little short, and we definitely need to fill up Ain at some point.

I loved it enough to subscribe, looking forward to more.

First of I think that not every adult game needs to be an expansive epic with multiple routes with an underlining social statement to be good. Sometimes its nice to just read through a game and just go with it. This game is pretty hot, tried it for the first time after the third release, surprising find.

Pros:

• Attractive characters
• Apt colors that matches the setting
• Unique setting and storyline
• Hot scenes [the scene on top the pyramid was pretty cool]
• Music
• Choices [its still early but the choices do matter since it removes and adds characters].
• The way characters look at you during lewd scenes oozes sex appeal
• Ain

Cons:

• Lighting too dark for some scenes [couldn't see whats in the decayed room for example]
• short [though i think the devs on a monthly update format]
• needs more Ain

Its too early for me to decide if its a 5/5 but i liked it so far. Its only the third release so i think it needs a few more updates to flesh out a bit more. I quite liked the little action sequences, shani's bad ass and the protaganist uses his sword as a projectile rather than...well a sword more which is amusing.

There is a story happening in the background, it doesn't just throw porn at you, the porn seems like a reward after you get back from adventuring with shani lol.

Definitely worth a try, find out for yourself if it ticks your boxes.

It's a solid game that is still new. The writing is very original. The renders are very beautiful. It's got a sort of "Mad Max" feel to it. Then there are interesting choices that have consequences on way or another. A lot of nice things can be said about this game, and a lot of the other reviews have already said them. Keep up the good work.

The good:

- Good dialogue
- attention to detail in terms of props and placement.

The bad:
- the lighting is terrible
- static backgrounds are being used as backdrop but they are of plain colors or gradients. It looks very out of place and low effort.
- this game has the worst clipping of any game I have ever played.

The Meh:
- all of the female characters are baby faced but have massive jugs!
- No gameplay, just clicking. (for the majority of the game)

I will update my review if it improves.

Awesome Game.. Hands down

If you like any Distopian Games then you will like this one. Has a real atomosphere to it that is usually not found in many other Games.

And the Wonderful Music and sound effects .. are just spot on

And the Mc is a Guy I didn`t feel embarrassed about playing as.. I went a dominant route so to speak.

The Girls are Gorgeous and the possibilities to Harem up looks very very promising.

FIve stars.. I'd give it six if I could

I like the start of this project. Sets up some interesting story lines and plot points for the future and some questions unanswered. Decent start and your character is no push over and can take care of himself in this post apocalyptic world. Renders are decent too and women nice to look at. Look forward to seeing more in the future.

Amazing, Really promising.... i hope that you can choose the queen as a slave too and have the guards for yourself etc... building the harem big enough

Cant wait for this FULL version <3
i would love to get a pm if you got further etc

Fantastic game with very atmospheric music. You can really see that dev put a lot of effort into this. The choices u make feel really important at that time. I hope development will continue for quite some time !

This game looks really promising. The characters look great, the story line is catching and i cant wait to see more of this in the future. I hoppe the dev will include animations in the near future. Keep it up!

Reviewing: 0.0.3
There is a wonderfully unique setting and the music it top notch. This is a game you'll want to leave your sound on for.

The story is interesting so far, and has some touching interactions between characters.

While there it not much story content at the moment, what IS available shows a lot of promise and is heading in some interesting directions.

I look forward to seeing where this game goes in the future.

Excellent scenery and ambiance! Very well balanced to, so far
It certainly makes a difference from the rest, and a good one. Don't yet understand fully the mechanics and the results of choices in depth, hope it gets clear soon. Thanks!

This game has smoking hot character models with a very interesting story that's different from what I've seen so far on this site. It's excellent and well worth supporting this guy on Patreon (which I do)..

This Game is like a unpolished Jewel. The setting is very good. I like this postapocalyptic/ancient Egypt atmosphere. The characters are lovely, and the Story is easy to follow and until now (0.2) quite intresting.
The Models are well picked and very beautiful, especially the eyes are something else. Great work.

Can't understand that nobody had noticed that some renders are not very good. They look very grainy, almost unfinished or like the rendering process was stopped at 75%. Therefore only 4 Stars.

Maybe it's a resolution issue on my side but I don't think so, bacause some frames later everything is fine again. It catched my eye in one, I think crucial Scene, where the elven girl is introduced. They talk about her eye color and these renders are so grainy, I was not able to see her eye color.

If the 0.3 is as good as the Prologue, I'll definitely going to support this Dev.

I can recommend this to everyone who is bored of the standard VN settings. Girls are beautiful, story is good, and the setting is awesome.

Prologue looks really promising. If you keep this up, it will be an excellent Visual Novel - with interesting and unique story and many meaningful choices. Good graphics and sex scenes. Keep up the good work!

Music is really excellent here, models seem unique and consistent with the location/time. It is great that the player can decide how violent/depraved to be, but still get access to excellent sex scenes.

Plot is thickening, seems compelling. Seems as if lots of choices will have consequences, I only hope the dev can keep up with the variety, but it seems smartly done so far.

Version [0.02]

Positive
+ Excellent Renders
+ Beautiful Women
+ Lot of Choices
+ Easy Gameplay
+ Good writing (it is not my native language but it is easy to understand)
+ Great Theme


Negative
- Nothing (Yet)


Overall
The Game has the potential to become a great apocalyptic game, the story has a Mad Max theme with Egyptian (in my opinion it’s good to be seeing something new and mixed) beautiful and attractive women, good graphics, even pretty scenery (especially the scene with Shani) little bit of nudity and sex content but when it comes to version [0.02] which is to show more about the characters and the gameplay are even good. Well, if you are looking for an RPG game with post-apocalyptic + Egyptian themes, this is your game.

Simply great for a fresh strating Game. Story seemse really interesting so far and looks like its never been done before. The images are also a bit more then just above average and seem to have have some variety in Girls and Fetishes.
