Others - Hard Stuck [v0.6 EA 2] [floppystack]

Updated Review for v0.4 EA 2.0

Update: Moved the rating to 5 stars. The game has been steadily improving with meaningful updates and changes to a point where it feels like it deserves the rating. Very solid lewd game.

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.

[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.

EDIT Aug 16, 2025 (1 year later): Rating changed from 4 to 5. Everything I complained about below has been fixed and then some. I couldn't be more enchanted with how this game has progressed. Great work!

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.

Aside from being too short as in only having 10 sex scenes and 5 defeats which i have only managed to see two (this game really needs a gallery), it's pretty good looking and i would love to see more of it in the future, the art remembers me a little of hooked from blenderknight that i go bonkers for but tragically updates even slower than this one, but even though it does update faster than hooked it still take quite a while to give out new content, so aside from being short, slow updates and a lack of a gallery it's pretty good, at least in the graphic department, the gameplay is eh... better than sandbox but definitely worse as in much harder than the vn's that i love, i'm not here looking to work after all.

Promising is an overestimated and overused word. I would say that the game is already quite fun and worth playing as it is.

There is, first and foremost, real gameplay. It is a roguelike dungeon crawl with sexy sexy elements well mixed with the gameplay. You fight monsters, gather loot, grow stronger as delve deeper.

Most importantly: sex is not a punishment, it is more of a... taclical option, so to speak. I won't spoil it, just try it. It is brilliant.

Finally, a few words about the MC. She is nerdy, cute, curvy, thick. with round tits, a big ass, and extremely yummy thundertighs. There are way too few of these in games. She is also great in the sex animation. Her mix of relactance, enthusiasm, sheer enjoyment is just perfect. The action is intense and sloppy. The creampies abundant and the cumflation is juuust right

If properly finished, this game could be one of the greats.

It's a solid base to build on.
A nice consistent visual style, although with some minor bugs (weird shadow on cum). Simple but interesting and mostly intuitive gameplay, and a tutorial for the not-so-intuitive things (you should play it).

I expected some character development between rounds as roguelike is known for that, but maybe that is still coming.

I love roguelikes and this is well implemented, even if somewhat simple for the moment. The gameplay is fun and I really enjoy the art style and animations. I'm watching this one with great interest.

Solid game with good content overall. Could use a bit more clarifying on items and mechanics, but I understand that's in the spirit of the game it pays homage to. I'd also suggest maybe an easy mode since, let's be real, most people are here for the dickings you encounter.

Bonus points for having an MC that isn't your generic hentai bimbo or pornstar hot. She's a cute nerd with a little chub - superb taste, developer.

Incredibly well made game, could use some more balancing in the future with the itmes, gear and what not but the animation itself is well made and I wouldl ove to see more in the future ‎‎‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎

In a great place just needs more. Not sure if the dev is into the idea of non con or not, but having the monsters be able to initiate the sex in some way would make it a 5/5 for me.

(I know there is the horny vial, but some kind of H attack system would be great. Maybe they telegraph it and you are forced to move to avoid it or something like that, who knows)

But the gameplay is simple but solid, the animations are great, the girl is great even if I am more of a petite man myself. But most importantly to me, that I feel a lot of devs slack on, is the pacing and sound of the H content! Even if the animations are short loops, the extra bit of sound, the linger and pulsing of the climax, really make all the difference between a decent H loop and a sexy H loop.

I really love the style of the game. The dev did a good job , since I didn't play dungeon crawler type games before it's a bit hard for me but I love it far
A great game with great style and great dev

Really good so far! I'd love to see some carry-over upgrades in the rogue-lite genre to increase replayability, but great work!
The cum threshold also seems on the low side, but maybe there are equipment and upgrades later that increase it.

solid.

Hard Stuck isn't necessarily fair -- getting past the third floor's minotaurs requires a fair bit of luck -- but if you've played Rogue or another proper roguelike (shoutout Caves of Qud), you won't be put off by this. gameplay is clean, simple, and rewards players who can figure out how to bait enemies into choke points.

the art, too, is clean and simple. the no-frills 3D animation is very solid, and i especially like the detail put into the characters' expressions. i just wish there were a gallery or some kind of scene progression controls so i could enjoy it for longer. i don't love that the scenes are a little too separate from the gameplay, or that having too much sex means you die.

frankly, my biggest issue with the game is the soundscape. DOS sound effects and no music do not a sexy experience make.

Rating this 5 stars for what's available at the moment. The content isn't massive, and I would like to see an eventual remodel of the kobolds and/or goblins in the far distant future; but for what the creator has released as an early concept it's impressive to someone like me who finds a lot of 3D content to be sloppy and usually lacking in style or coherency.

The simple ascii dungeon roguelike gameplay works on a mechanical level; there's not many floors to explore so losing and restarting isn't really a problem. With the new update that adds minotaurs, there's a good reason to ignore fighting enemies and just run away to get to the next floor.

Pros -
From what I gather character models and animations are all custom, which means there isn't a hodge podge of art that takes you out of the game.

Female protagonist is niche and unique. I see a few people wanting her to be muscular or thinner but she's perfect in terms of the, "nerdy trope."

The creator seems to have a schedule of releasing updates every 2-3 months with new content.

Cons -
As said, Goblins and Kobolds could probably do with a rework to match the style of Fishmen and Minotaurs. Kobolds aren't that bad, though.

Animations are quick, and there's no gallery at the moment. My suggestion, have the animation be a clip (which I think it already is) where you can go through your usual automated sequence where it plays out, or where you select the sex scene and the speed.

Overall-
I hope to see the dev finish this project, where they don't go through the typical 4 year project that gets abandoned either because the dev finds a job in the industry or burns out/wants to work on something new.

Extremely promising! Near-perfect art style and animation for what's available so far, and enjoyable rogue-like gameplay with a variety of interesting directions for it to develop in!

Personally a fan of female protags, and the thicc nerd aesthetic of this one is a big plus. Rounded, smooth animations that *both* parties are really enjoying is also very much to my preferences!
