Hard Time (Prison Sim)for Android

For such a simple-looking game, Hard Time features many customization options to create exciting, unique gameplay each time. More than a fighting experience, this game emphasizes the importance of improvement.

Simple yet exciting

Hard Time is an action-adventure single-player simulation game that takes place in an interactive prison map and holds an exciting twist.

Once you launch Hard Time,  you can choose among different characters and start your experience on an interactive map.

The character you can pick from comes with various sets of attributes. The customization options help you improve some of them, but ultimately, you'll get better through the gameplay.

You enhance strength through realistic tasks such as jogging and weightlifting, and agility through playing basketball.

However, the most important stat to better is intelligence. You'll have to read various books to enhance your intellect and get better in the fighting. It will also help you balance your mental health, so you can lengthen survival and build an even better reputation.

Although the graphics are 2D and not very well-developed, the RPG aspect of this action-adventure offers a unique experience.

Where can you run this program?

You’ll need at least Windows XP and Mac 10.7. However, for the best possible experience, you can run it on Windows 10 or Mac OS 10.10.

Is there a better alternative?

No. Most first-person games don’t focus as much on character development. However, if you liked it, try True Crime: Streets of LA, Wheelman, or Retro City Rampage.

Our take

Hard Time offers a unique take on prison RPGs. While the execution could be a bit better, this free game has a lot to unpack.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you’re into realistic simulations, Hard Time will be an enjoyable experience for you.
