Others - Hard Stuck [v0.3 EA 1] [floppystack]

Amazing, some complaints/nitpicks/wants:

- More ways to increase belly capacity; maybe bigger belly too (no such thing as too big)
- I think clothing will be adjusted in new update, I hope I will be able to wear glasses while in nude
- Calories are kinda annoying, there should be more ways to gain them besides a ring and sandwiches
- Later enemies can hit WAY TOO HARD
- Related the 4 above, I wish there was a cheat menu of some kind; also a difficulty selector
- pregnancy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Looking forward to seeing this game grow

Good progression but keep track of your map seeds for replays
Deeply appreciate the graphical optimization settings
Navigation settings could use some additional tweaking for assessability
Looking forward to additional updates
good game, an instant classic

Fun, lighthearted, and thank for fuck's sake, a rare dungeon crawler with a female protagonist where the H-scenes aren't defeat/rape.
_________________________________________________________

Summary: Although not groundbreaking for erotic games, and recycling an old concept, Hard Stuck is entertaining enough. The protagonist feels real, even with the cartoonized style, and you get to dictate the pace at which the game goes, considering it's you who manages every turn.

Review:

• Art-style: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
The art-style is welcoming and although not visually stunning, it fits the light purpose of the game. The protagonist is a stylized nerdy chubby girl, and the monsters are your go-to dungeon crawler fantasy creatures. None of which have an immensely impressive design, but that, in itself, fits the "casual" aura of the game. I like it.

• Gameplay: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
There's more complexity to the gameplay than it seems. Every click is a turn, and that might mean you don't get to just smash your keys frantically, as this may imply wrong decisions that get you cornered, slain or starving. You need to choose which monsters to flee from, which ones to fuck, and which ones to fight. Using diagonal escape routes, turning the camera and using your items is fundamental, otherwise you'll just end up frustrated. All in all, it's fun.

• Storyline: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
There's no complex storyline, but even so, the game does a good job at telling you the very basic concept it follows. You're met with a nerdy girl stumbling into the dungeon from a TV screen, stunned and dazed. She then gets up, and faces the path before her. What else do you need to know? Again, like I said about the art-style, it matches the casual vibe of the game. I'm still withdrawing a star, as I think it'd be unfair to give it 5 given how complex other games are in worldbuilding.

• Grammar: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
There isn't a lot of dialogue, so I checked the items and their descriptions for this assessment. It's fine, I don't think I spotted a single issue.

Stars: 19

Final result: 5 ☆ (19/4 = 4.75 = 5)

Have high hopes for this one

The graphics are crazy good, animation quality top notch etc

Gameplay is oddly addictive; what was an hour or two of frustration at first, quickly turned into more and more satisfaction when figuring out the mechanics of the game

10/10

It's a basic roguelike but the animation is so great. This is the kind of project that deserves to make six figures on Patreon, not all those RenPy games where every girl is a Daz Studio goblin. This girl's bodytype is choice. The jiggle physics are on point.

Played the October 2024 build. I hope future versions add the following:
1. Mouse-only control scheme, including camera control. This is a lot of work but it is worth it.
2. More environmental assets. The game needs more decoration littering the dungeon, and more tile variety.
3. Skin tone & armpit hair options. Plus a way to put your clothes back on.

There need to be more games like this where it's just straight into the gameplay without some bullshit story slowing the player down. This is a model game. It simply needs more content.

Aside from the well executed sex scenes, it's actually fun to play. Among a very select few horny games where the gameplay is not just tedium to get to the next secene. Could be expanded a lot, in both aspects. A very good game I will keep my eye on!

Dev is cooking with gas on this one!Hopefully they keep at it as good as they have, as so far it's hitting a good balance between Content and Game. If you like roguelikes/dungeon crawlers its worth a go.

Good porn scenese, fun gameplay loop like the old dungeon crawlers,
and full of potential. Love how the porn scenes are implemented in a seamless way complementary to the gameplay rather than the gameplay getting in the way of the porn.

Looking forward to seeing where this one goes!

Definitely one of the best games on this website right now.
Very few games on this website offer both good gameplay and quality
porn content. And this game nails it on both fronts. Love the premise of the game and the aesthetics, not to mention the grade A animation and character model. Good shit mate.

Hard Stuck is a refreshing turn-based dungeon crawler that offers a blend of engaging simple gameplay and appealing animations. Players navigate a procedurally generated dungeon filled with monsters and loot, with the primary objective of reaching the final floor. The character design includes a geeky, nerdy female character, adding a unique flavor to the game's aesthetic.

The game features a well-balanced difficulty curve, allowing challenges to increase progressively, which helps maintain player engagement. Each new game resets player knowledge. For example, potions and their effects are randomized, ensuring that gameplay remains dynamic with every playthrough.

While the game offers a solid experience in its current state, it could benefit from additional character options and expanded human interactions. However, it successfully provides a satisfying short-term experience, with the bonus of gallery scenes to unlock for those interested in completionism.

What makes this game truly unique is that the developer is always innovating and adding new content into the game. And not just a texture or bug fix, but costumes, scenes, a gallery once you unlock the scene, and all of these and more feel like they've been in the game since the demo. I think the only real change that would be worth discussing, in my opinion, is adding more info into the tutorial to explain the types of items you'll find and maybe the curses. But overall, very good. Please consider supporting the dev so they can continue to deliver excellent content.

I really like the concept but it just needs some serious work. Roguelikes are rare for this sort of thing so I appreciate seeing something different, and the art style is nice. However, the mechanics aren't there, at all. combat is clunky, using wands is clunkier. And monster-fucking is nice and all but what am I fucking them for exactly? It serves no gameplay purpose whatsoever, I mean there is an entire system so that you can fuck more of them without a game over but fucking them doesn't help you or hell even really harm you in any way. I guess there's the succubus rings but those are pretty rare and mostly useless. Most items are somehow both rare and completely useless... simultaneously. For example why is there a vial of cum to drink? Fairly rare drop but also does.... nothing? Most gear is ether cursed, requires too high a level to ever equip before beating the dungeon, useless, or most commonly ALL 3!?!? Just why add them at all?? In summery Just Run the game with starting equipment and call it a day.

Review for v0.2 EA 2

Roguelikes are one of my favorite genres, and I've sunk a fair amount of hours into Rogue-style games specifically as well. As far as they go in the lewd game world, I'd say this is pretty top tier for what it does and accomplishes.

If you've played any games of the genre you'd probably know they can get rather complex and have steep learning curves. With Hard Stuck though, I'd say the game would feel pretty accessible even to the more horny-brained people of the site. It plays as a relatively simple dungeon crawler with a few added mechanics to make itself stick out a bit. Mainly having hunger and cum bars to manage alongside your health. Plus, being a lewd game, sex scenes and mechanics.

Besides your typical equipment management, the other big system is being able to sex enemies that attack you. It essentially stuns them (and potentially procs equipment interactions), but also fills up your cum meter which causes a game over when full. After a couple early restarts to figure out the system, I managed to unlock 90% of the scenes in a single run and that's where I stopped playing.

I like the graphical style, the girl you play as is hot, and the sex scenes are well-animated. There's really not much to complain about. If I had any feedback it seems like the food mechanic is pretty RNG dependent and the sex noises aren't exactly erotic to me. Both pretty minor things when looking at how good this is overall. Once this fills out more via some development time I'd give it five stars.

[V0.2 EA2]

i have to say, this game has some very interesting potential. the gameplay is fun, the MC is super attractive, and the cg's are well made, and it has an appealing art style.

my only real complaint is how reliant on luck runs can feel. as an example, i had a run where i had managed to get nearly perfect gear across the first 2 floors, to the extent that i do not think i ever could have done better. as soon as i entered the lava level, the first door i opened just happened to have like two minotaurs and a handful of kobolds. despite how well i had done until that exact second, i just knew that it was over and i could do literally nothing but i fuck them until it gave me a game over.

despite that, the pros way outshine the cons in this game. i almost feel like a 4/5 rating is too low, and think it probably deserves closer to a 4.5/5 imo.

very interested to see where this one goes.

It's an old-school rogue game but with sex mechanics, great art style, and excellent h-scenes. Definitely in my top 10. It's not just a good start, it's a solid playable game that even in v0.2 is really worth playing

Came for the lewds, stayed for the gameplay. Surprisingly addictive. Animations are short and simple but effective. its also super nice to see a protag with a realistic body for a change. 5 Stars and thats high praise from me. Excited to see what the dev has in store!

Cant wait for the next update

The mechanics are VERY dependant on RNGs, so you may have a couple runs that are almost impossible, but grinding in this game just to get as far as possible and unlock every cutscene is the strong point of it. Quite addictive.

I love fat bitches.

But seriously, good gameplay, great animations (you can replay them on the first level). I really enjoyed it, although female MCs are not my piece of cake. Hopefully the next updates will be as good as what we already have.

Hard Stuck [v0.2] [floppystack]

WOW! I just wanted to check this game out based on the art style, but I ended up playing for hours trying to find all the items and monsters to fuck around with. A lot of the sex games I have played in the past, the "gameplay" part is just an obstacle slowing me down from reaching the parts I want, but I found this game to be very fun. There were interesting decisions to be made while I tried to reach the lowest levels, and the H scenes are just one click away, so you don't have to go long without.

GAMEPLAY: This game is a rogue-like turn-based top-down 3DCG dungeon crawler with a stat system like D&D with AC rating and such. You are a thick nerdy chick who gets sucked into a TV, and pops out inside the dungeon. You try to find your way to the lower levels for more loot and monsters.
Every move you make or action you perform counts as a "turn" allowing enemies to move closer to, or attack, you.
While exploring around the procedural levels you have a few resources to manage HP, Energy and Cum. If your health or calories reaches zero you will get a gameover, or if your cum meter reaches 100% full you will get a different gameover screen.
There are a lot of items to find either off monsters, behind vault doors, or in treasure chests. Weapons, scrolls, wands, elixirs, tomes and enchanted rings. These items will mostly be unidentified, and could either be normal, blessed or cursed. You can risk equipping/using the items you have found to discover what they do, and/or if they are cursed or not, or you can wait to find an identify scroll, or place the items on an alter to check for curses. Once you've learned what the item does you will retain that knowledge for the rest of the run. They are random each run, so don't try to memorize them.
The monsters you encounter can be attacked, fucked or both. Also, if you strip off some of you clothes near a monster they will be charmed for a turn and may not attack you.
If you use sex on a monster they will be incapacitated for a few turns allowing you to move away, but it will fill up your cum meter, and each monster has a different cum value.

SEXY CONTENT: There are 10 animations with all of the monsters you encounter in the dungeon that are pretty short with preset camera angles and creampies to end scene. There are 3 gameover scenes too.
I like all of the scenes a lot. They are very smooth and expressive animations.

CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION: Currently you can only be a chubby white girl with two different outfits and two hair styles. You can change her hair color to 1 of 4 presets.

FEATURES: There is a gallery system at the start of the run called "memories" used to view all of your previous encounters, this is located next to the mirror which is used to change your appearance.
Also, there is a save system.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I really like where is this game is going and I will be watching for future updates. I want to see more monsters in future updates like insect, cat, lizard, worm, dragon, octopus, zombie, slug, bear, bat, snake or frog. Alternate scenes for each monster would be really cool, like having alternate positions, or doubling up monsters. More character outfits and clothing destruction would feel very much at home with this game. Lastly, I wish the gallery system let me control the camera angles and speed of the animations.

Emphasis on hard! I just wanted to run through some dungeons and get boned by kobolds n’ shit, not carefully manage my cum and calorie count. But here we are.

Gameplay: It’s difficult. You explore a dungeon with your fat-tits e-girl character. There are monsters wandering around. You can fuck ‘em, but you also gotta kill ‘em. No fucking creatures to death in this bad boy. You’re looking for the stairs to the next level. Treasures will give you extra shields and stuff. The shields are invariably no better than the one you have. The monsters hit hard. You stun them by fucking them, but if you get too filled with cum you die. If you get killed, you die (go figure). If you run out of calories, you die. I managed to make it to the third floor and gave up. At least I got some minotaur cock before I gave up.

Creature Designs: I just love the creatures in this game! They’re so expressive. Just look at their happy little faces while they fuck the shit out of you. It’s like, man, taking that little guy to kobold pussy heaven right now.

Animations: They’re great. Sexy, well-crafted, expressive. They’re also supershort. These are like 5-second bangers with no variations or angles.

The H: As above, it’s sexy, cartoony monsters with big dicks, hot e-girl with fat ass and thighs, spunk everywhere. It’s just too short to get your groove goin’.

One More: The thing that makes the good games stand out is always, Does it surprise me? Only the visual style, otherwise it’s your usual dungeon monsters and the only real surprise was how few of them I got to fuck before getting tired of dying.

Overall, if this game were easier and let me explore being a slut a little more, it’d be awesome. As it is, it was a fun diversion for an hour.
