Features & Capabilities

Hard Time III is the third installment of the gritty prison sim, blending classic OG vibes with refined 2D combat. Survive a sprawling facility where hundreds of inmates act in real time, and shape each encounter with an advanced dialogue system, a precise dual-wield combat mechanic, and hundreds of interactive props that can be used as tools or weapons.

A fresh policing arc lets you tackle crime from both sides—inside the prison and on the streets—while an extended open world adds more vehicles and wildlife to explore. Upgrading to the unlocked experience unlocks an inbuilt editor to save character changes, a Fight Scene mode to choreograph battles, and a smoother 60fps, ad-free experience for paying players.

Hard Time III is praised for its chaotic, engaging gameplay and value, with nostalgia fueling fan support.

Pros

Fun, chaotic gameplay that easily occupies hours.
Good value for money; the full game is worth the purchase.
Nostalgia and strong support from long-time players.
Overall positive reception and appreciation for the game's concept.

Cons

Camera issues that make combat hard due to unusable angles.
Frequent ads that persist even when you have a subscription.
Subscription model doesn't consistently block ads.
Frequent interruptive prompts and unavoidable dialogue that can't be skipped.
No save progress feature and lack of native controller support.

I just want to state that I hope MDickie reads this and takes it as constructive criticism and NOT personally because he has a history of being overly sensitive especially when you consider the types of games he makes (which is ironic) but that’s neither here nor there. This game came so close to being the perfect prison sim/MDickie game but it falls short for multiple reasons that are quite hard to ignore. My number 1 issue is that I purchased the subscription thinking I unlocked perks like editor mode but whenever I max out my character’s stats it had ZERO affect on gameplay, and unlike Wrestling Empire the combat is even worse because my character’s has a 1 in 50 chance of countering an attack. Regardless of my maxed out stats. Whereas in wrestling empire you can get consistent counters. Second major complaint is the excessive dialog. This game is borderline unplayable even with dialog settings turn to minimum. So many annoying pop ups it’s ridiculous. Third major complaint is arrest frequency, I get arrested ever 2 minutes over anything including defending myself?? But the other inmates are simply free to do.what they please. I also think an inmate “combat difficulty” setting needs to be implemented asa. Some characters are just ridiculous to fight and I have no clue why. I had 1 inmate counter every single attack or grab I attempted. Extremely annoying. Overall MDickie is a legend but I find it increasingly difficult to find any enjoyment playing this game in the current state that it’s in.
