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

Post-apocalyptic settings are bordering on over-done, but the Egyptian theme of this game breathes new life into the genre.

The background music helps set the pace while staying true to the scenes. While a handful of the art is too dark to appreciate or even make out details, the majority ranges from above average to exceptional.

The storyline is also above average, with many of the NPCs having more depth that other games tend to see.

Overall, the game is off to an amazing start. So long as the dev stays on course, Desert Stalker has the potential to stand out as an example of what a quality post-apocalyptic game should be.

Edit: It occurred to me after writing that the game has something else going for it that most other games fail at; a best friend which is not instantly an unlikable annoyance. As of the present update, Igor is a perfectly tolerable drinking buddy rather than an exasperating vessel for plots.

If an Apocalypse Setting feels awesome, you nailed it. And the Girls look fantastic. The Story goes unexpected Ways. Also I'm a Fan of the Depth of some Characters. I would watch the Movie if it were one

Easily the best game on this platform.
The visuals are stunning, the story is great - I really enjoyed it.

I sincerely wish for more updates, that continue this legacy, which is stunning so far!
Looking forward to...

Can't believe I only found this now, I simply love everything about this, especially the quality of the women's skin. And the way they look into your soul.. SENSATIONAL!~
Oh crap, i dont review much, so i didnt know about this minimum of two hundred characters. hah

Awesome game. The characters are lovable and well written not to mention very good looking, the story is interesting and last but not least, the degeneracy is off the charts, I love it.

Some of the old animations are really bad but reworks are in progress from what I understand. All in all it's a great game, easy 5 stars.

I love this game, one of the best Porno stories I've seen, I wish they would add an option for the main character's stepdaughters to be his real daughters and add more side events to add more immersion to the plot.

Has everything I love in this genre.
Some of my favorite parts:

Unique setting
Not the same 5 Daz3D models every dev uses
Great fetishes
Decent speed on updates
Light horror themes
The younger daughter
Solid writing

Came for the sex, stayed for the story... the animations... the quality... everything really. Honestly, this is one of the best games I've seen on this site or any site for this kind of game. Heck, I'd say its better than a lot of AAA games these days. Definitely, worth a playthrough... or ten.

Seeing how much content this game has and the quality of the renders, not top mention the original setting and story, I believe this could be on of, if not the best game on this site. Extremely good, interesting and hot game

I put off playing this game so long because I generally dislike sandboxes. Very few of the ones I have played have been enjoyable, and of those, pretty much all of them would have been better off as a regular VN.

This game is fantastic. It's probably the best executed sandbox out there. I would wager it might be the only game that I think is better as a sandbox than an avn. There is close to zero continuity issues, there is zero grind and the quest system is super clear and mostly intuitive. There are some minor quirks and bugs, but overall the sanbox element is super polished.

This brings me to my next point of praise, which is the choices. You get to make a lot of decisions in this game. Some lead to scenes/relationships, some lead to character deaths. There are multitudes of impactful and non-impactful choices.

I think where the game really shines is the wide variety of different scenes and kinks. There is a ton of content, and the majority of it is well-written and hot af. Most of it is some level of "taboo" (incest is barely taboo on this site lol), so if you don't enjoy that you prob won't enjoy the game. The content is also paced quite well. You never have far to go between sex scenes, but it also doesn't feel like a total unending fuckfest. There is always enough plot or relationship development in between to keep things fresh and exciting.

The game is by no means perfect, but as a porn game its an easy 5/5.

How can a game have a good atmosphere as this is beyond me. The era the game shows the conflict it has is what makes it a great one. But the events sometimes drags to corners I hate. I had to skip some quests or hold tab to skip some dialogues that were boring. Dev has to focus on the main quests.

Goat game.
Cool story, awesome scenes,alot of rough stuffs you can decide to do, the ladies look all incredible, i played alot of games but this one is on top of all, the only close ones are Theater of sinners but i think is dead and the other is Long story short, but this one have a little edge on them, amazing game keep up the good work my man.

Pros:
Characters are amazing
Women are stunning and interesting
the setting is unique
the world-building is well thought out
MC is a mature guy with serious fighting skills.
A power fantasy with a great story

Cons:
The game ruins my low expectations and raises my standards (how will I enjoy loser/wimpy MCs now?)
Made me donate money (who told them to make a game so good?)

It turns out Egyptian Max Mad theme works out really well.

You get a home base with your family and repeatable scenes, in a sandbox way. But the sandbox element doesn't feel as in depth as other titans in the genre. It's somewhat common to have one ping to go do, but sometimes you have 2 or 3.

At home, you simply replay scenes, but full fleshed out scenes. It also helps that the scenes fit with something you would do every day, like chill on the couch, or eat dinner. So it's more immersive and gives a reason to repeat the scenes. It's not complete but still a big chunk here. Worth a playthrough.

So good I became a Patreon last year.
The two biggest strenghs of this game are character design and character writting, and both combine perfectly.

The three main women are top characters from any AVN I've played.

I always delayed the moment I'd play this game, partly because I knew the more I waited, the better it would feel because more content.
I finally did it, and the hype on this thread isn't for nothing. In particular, I think the game gets better and better the more you advance into the story. Every member of MC family is fantastic, the other characters are as hot and have a different/particular charm (the Queen, the two "exotic" slaves, Yuna the elf, Asha, Katerina, even Kitty with the little content she has, are favorites of mine).

Shani is probably the character that grew the most on me (at first I prefered Ain, I like spoiled and slutty princesses). And honestly, from a narrative point of view, I was captivated by her adventure in the "zone". For a while you forget it's a porn game, the atmosphere was incredible, and the unnatural environment you explore was sometimes strangely poetic.

I wonder if I'm the only one that really liked Asha as a character, she woke up my hidden sadist self. Maybe I have a thing for crazy/violent girls in that kind of games. I never know what option to choose with her, because both are satisfying (either you treat like a puppy and she's happy, or you mistreat her and she loves it).

The game initially caught my eyes because of the sharing content, and it didn't disappoint. You remain in control, but you can be "courteous" to your guests, or for some girls (not your family) it's just a way of punishing her.
Sometimes, the game is quite violent, but with the setting of the story and everything, I surprised myself enjoying it a lot. Immersed in that world.

That must be one of the only 2 or 3 AVN I played in which I cared about the story outside of what is related to the erotic content. I usually don't, but here the story is more than an excuse for sex imho. I wasn't even bored when I had to read Yuna's super long diary (that part could have had a better narration though, it was heavy on text).

Well anyway great game, now I can suffer like everyone else. I wish there were more games like this, and I hope there's still a looot of content the dev is planning for this game.

5.5/5, even if I cannot do that.

Very good game and very promising.
Compared to all games I played this one is in my top 3.

Nice harem we can get )) encounters are my favorites.
Still I hope the ...
I will follow the development with great interest.

One of the best games I've ever played, very hot scenes and girls. Choices make sense and some scenes are changed because of them, harem building is very nice. Each girls is varied and has their own story. Zahra best waifu.

Normally I don't comment and just play the games, but this one hit me different. I am super hyped and hope to some day witness the completion of it. At first I ust wanted to have a good time but then with Yuna and her Backstory as well as the adventure with Shani I am just super invested into the story and where this will all go. On top of all that we all get to enjoy a nice Harem so it really is a perfect game. The only thing I would like is more consequences, but maybe that is still to come when we find out all the secrets and maybe have to choose sides.
As a side note I truly noticed how I actually cared for the characters and the story when Ain was killed in Shanis nightmare I actually was terrefied for a few seconds and felt my heart beat like crazy.

Super erotic game where you get to explore your unreasonable power fantasies, if you like that, or be a relatively nice guy if you like that. By the time I was done with him, my character was such as smug asshole that I was rolling my own eyes at him while exploring this clever roleplaying playground, woven deliciously into what's actually a Visual Novel, and not a real RPG. But it succeeds at giving you the feeling that you're really living your life as an elite super-soldier Desert Stalker who is also the patriarch of an oasis where you keep your harem/family. One of the few games I keep coming back to when updates come along, very highly recommended.
