Hard Time III Reviews

controls are annoying. it seems like they have a control of their own
you cant focus on one person without someone else talking and the game changing the target.
Dialogue every second makes the game close to impossible to play.
the camera is laughably bad in the angles it gets
tried to lock on to someone only for the camera to just go into a wall.

I love mdickie games and always have since I was younger. But it’s 2024 and although I honestly like this game a lot I do have a few complaints with it. My first one is the controller compatibility. I feel like just like most other mobile games this should be compatible with controllers, just like lot of other mobile games. I see no reason as to why it isn’t as it would make it a lot better and enjoyable. Especially bc it’s a struggle in and of itself just trying to turn your screen around to face forwards sometimes. Another is the money. It’s super hard to make money as a prison, unlike in the previous game, you can’t pocket bags of money by pressing taunt, you don’t make much from sweeping if you do at all, and fixing furniture. My last complaint is the police and other prisoners. This game would be 10 times better if I can have more interaction with cops, do bribed and favors for protection and reduced sentence, call friends to do your dirty work or fight someone for you, or you could testify and tell on police or other imates just like they do to you. Another good features would be becoming a judge yourself
That being said the game is very enjoyable especially when your offline so I will continue to play I just hope it improves

Sometimes the game can be boring. You can’t really do anything because you’re constantly getting caught and constantly in court all the time so you can’t really do anything prisoner sometimes they can get boring and repetitive and same thing as a citizen. You can’t really do anything as a cop besides take people to jail? It’s OK for what it is. I just wish they were more to do and you wouldn’t get caught every single second.

The game was better back then when it had no limits and you could edit your character however you wanted to with no upgrades.

the game is cool or whatever i’m just tryna enjoy it without any ads, i tried turning off my wifi but nope every 3 locations i go to there’s a ad.
& not to mention why i get in trouble for the smallest things? the npc can hit me and not get in trouble but soon as i defend myself im in trouble, and getting jumped by everybody and there mother.
I get in trouble for the dumbest things, i get beat on my cops, i defend myself then i get arrested. just letting yall know this game is harder than the regular version

I would rather pay a bit more up front than do a yearly sub. It’s fun, but there are some things locked behind a yearly pay-wall. You don’t really own anything, you are merely renting. Guess I will play for a few hours then put a bow on it.

What is going with that? I played these games for years now, why can’t I own the game instead of trying to make me pay for a year to play. That doesn’t make no sense at all. A one time fee would be more feasible than expecting everyone to want to continue playing for a year. Change this immediately.

Buggy really needs updates like I’m still chained to a dead officer. Peoples limbs just spawning back on. And people spawning back to life that one is really annoying and needs a change. People attack you for no reason and if you fight back your wanted. There’s also some other things like it would be cool if in editor mode I could See people without limbs, or even remove limbs. There’s a few other bugs, but for the most part, it’s another decent MDickie game that could be better through updates. I think MDickie will definitely keep up with the game.

The game is very good overall but please add the stat system beside or under the health bar like the Hardtime 2d version. And please make camera movement smoother,It takes really long for the camera to focus where the character is looking. All that aside, The game is very good and i love the new chatting mechanics.

I've never not liked a Mcdickie game and this one is good but i noticed it doesn't seem to save when you go room to room like the other ones did? Unless i'm missing something. Or maybe tweaking the Favors so im not on a mission to bring a computer desk to the other side of prison😂

The game is lowkey perfect, as we know you’re going to add more with each update. My only concern is the first person camera. I feel that mobile players or the game for the matter showily have slide to move the camera as you’re moving with the virtual controller. Not just the camera following because when I can’t see who’s behind me I end up getting snuck and dying. Basically implement more camera controls.

the games ok i just wish the npcs would have improved even just a little, like you cant even serve your sentence without some random prisoner or guard pretty much forcing you to do what they want and when you try your to busy getting beaten by other random npcs for nothing usually, than you fail the other npcs mission and he now wants to beat you aswell 😂 i just cant really get into it, even when your on the run from the police some random npc will try speaking to you and get you caught by the police. i mean pretty much the same problems as the old games share

I’ve been waiting for this game to come to mobile for a long time! don’t mind paying to turn off the ads, but it would be nice if we were able to create our own characters as well! if that were the case, i would have given the game five stars.

It’s solid so far, I like the losing limbs feature but you kinda have to wait a bit for a character to offer you surgery to get your hand back. Problem is that it would be sick to add back prosthetic hands, knife hands, etc from the old 2d games into the 3d version. That’s the only thing I can think of so far besides the judge almost always taking the side of the prisoner when your a police officer. Also can you add the prosthetic hand feature to Wrestling Empire as well. Thanks!

It’s a cool game just needs work on the camera, I don’t like that the camera be going all over the place it definitely needs to feel more like a 3d game, sometimes I can’t see my character fight an npc cause the camera would be sooooo far from me and the controls are kinda wonky but I definitely see potential in this game especially after watching streamers and other ppl play it

Let us have the option of marriage in this game along with having an offspring. Give us the option of having more than one offspring ( either male or female) Let us have the option to continue to play the game as the offspring along with doing things such as growing up either in jail with our parent or in school. If our player gets into a relationship to just have to either spend time with the person or to talk to person at least once during a certain amount days. We get to play as the husband or wife of our player where we are trying to make ends meet while raising our children and waiting for our spouse to come home.

Cool game and great update from regular hard time but can we take the animals out or at least make it to where they don’t attack you for no reason? Makes it extremely hard to get around when a dog can blow your motorcycle up

It’s a 5 star game for the same reason the others are, but it is the same game as the others. Just a reskin essentially. I’ve been playing mdickie games on desktop since I was 12. Here still after a decade and I’ve grown up, things have changed. I want more for the glorious Matt dickie. I want to see you take a risk. New dialogue system, new physics system, new gameplay mechanics, new anything that is worth doing all day. Right now I can go around shooting people and blowing them up, but it’s the same every time. I know I’ll be done with it in a week and come back and play a bit for another update, but it’ll be the same still. I’ll always be a fan of this beautiful and legendary series of products. I just hope that it doesn’t die for a lack of progress. Nonetheless, I give you a most sincere thank you matt, if you never make a game again you’ll have spoiled me rotten with joy and happiness.

My only complaint so far is that the health in this game depletes to fast in the 2d hard time you could’ve gotten into a brawl and your health bar would still be full for the most part but now you can barley workout without your health depleting after a couple reps so I ask to please put the health higher or make it deplete slower thank you and I’ll go back to playing this awesome game.

If you never played hard times then you should start now!!! It’s the best prison simulator game of all time and this new hard time 3 got even better i love how you can now customize your character inside of the prison and you can now be a cop or civilian but I would love if you can add more hairstyle options to choose from but other than that I really enjoying this game so far

I really do enjoy the games you make, been playing them for a really long time. However I am not quite used to the slow, sort of 30FPS gameplay. The fast-forward or game speed setting would be phenomenal. Just like your other games. I always play your games on 250% speed or fast forward, that's really all I want for Hard Time III and I'd be on it all the time. Might even buy VIP as well. Keep it up Mat, we love ya!

Let me just start by saying I’ve never wrote a review for a video game period and the fact I’m writing a positive one for a mobile game should already speak volumes. I’ve been playing these games on my phones/tablets since I was a kid and I’ve been waiting for a new game to come out on mobile devices for years. This game did not disappoint, I understand the game just came out and there is obviously going to be some bugs and whatnot but in the grand scheme of things this game might be the best free mobile game in this genre. If you have never played I highly recommend going into a game and just testing it out, that’s what I did today and I found myself playing a mobile game for over 5 hours straight which is crazy lol. The only thing I’d like to see added in so far is more missions for the gangs and more side quests for them. I think the gangs could open up a ton in of doors for new content as well as make it feel more personal when conflicts arise between gangs in the prison. All in all these are my favorite games on mobile and have been for a long time, thank you for what y’all do I’m looking forward to the next update.

been loving the games for the past years. I hope theres a extra lives 3d coming soon, thats one of my favorite games so far out of the franchise.

It’s so fun to play, I just wish I could play with my friend (both using game pad) I feel it would be a great multiplayer game for online play (if you wanted) and I wish I could use a game pad but I love it Mcdickie keep on doing you and make us proud.

I’ve been waiting so long for this game, and it’s everything I could’ve asked for. The only thing that upsets me is it’s not controller compatible. I feel like that really holds this game back and would drastically improve gameplay. The touch controls are decent, but like i said it holds the game back. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE mdickie please add controller compatibility to your mobile games. In my opinion, it’s more important on mobile than pc because at least you have a keyboard with pc. I’ve been playing your games for over 8 years now and it’d mean a lot to me, thank you.

PLEASE ADD A ARMORY FOR THE WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION PLEASE IM TIRED OF HAVING TO LOOK AROUND FOR A WEAPON JUST TO FIND OUT EVERYONE ELSE HAS ONE but in all seriousness this game is actually amazing thank you so much for releasing it early also one more suggestion please add a way to put stuff in ur pocket or something but you don’t have to add this one as it’s not as important as the armory one please and thank you

I can’t really look around while moving, I have to stop in order to look around and the camera keeps panning into the wall and I can’t really see anything, can you fix the camera, like first person I want look around with my other thumb

This game is crazy in the best way possible! It has all the randomness of old ps2 games such as WWE SvR games, and is as fun as the previous addition.

I always have fun on MDickie’s games, but this one especially! I’ve only played it for a day, but there has been ZERO game breaking glitches, or bugs!!! Which is impossible in games that are made today!!

I wish MDickie could make PS5 games, cause the quality, and the care that are in these game is just next to none. The fact I’m playing a iPhone game in 2024 is insane to me, but MDickie is the only one that could get me to do it.

So if you can’t tell, all in all I have enjoyed this game 😂 Highly, HIGHLY recommend it! And he decides to update it, or add more stuff, it’ll be icing on the cake as all add-ons SHOULD be.

Absolutely deserves the 5/5!!!!!

Great game love the graphics, really funny game makes me laugh alot a game thay brings joy to me. The fight mechanic is getting a lot better to same with the npcs keep up the great work 👍🏻

I only just downloaded this, and it’s beautiful. I’ve loved Hard Time since it came out.

Thank MDickie, I just downloaded and am about to play. I have a 5 star because I already know it’s going to be a banger

I just love how they have types of things like old school 3d when you change and stuff, it’s really cool! And I’m glad I was able to get this.

I’ve been playing these games mobile since I was 11, I’m now 21 and I still love them till this day, I would really love if you add controller support!

This was supposed to be released on October 10, but it was released early you make the best phone games. This is a really fun game. I recommend it you get to ride horses drive cars escape prison if you have a key or do your sentence definitely great game.

Mdickie, you have always been one of my favorite game creators of all time ever since I was just 8 years old, your games always have been amazing and you killed it with this one, keep up the good work man!

I love the game and everything but I can’t even see the relationships my character has and yeah I have the free one but it’s still confusing cause you don’t know or get told who is your lover and who are your friends

Hey Matt I hope you manage to see this, you’ve been making these beautiful games for like what 20..30 years now? And you never EVER disappoint. Such a odd take and weird scenarios but it’s perfect. It’s what we need inna time where games are all the same nowadays. Keep it up Matt!

I would love if you made it to where if you are a prisoner, civilian or officer and you attack random people the police keep track of your criminal record and the second suggestion is that each crime you do stacks onto each other

I love Hard time, one of my top 3 favorite games. But instantly I found a glitch, I saw a camera on top of the lockers where the outfit maker thing is and decided to try to break it but guess what? I tripped and nocliped in to the next cell to me. Fix it pls, I’ll love you forever if you do

Almost anything I do instantly gets punished I try to defend myself that’s, assault I try to get back to my cell at night that’s insubordination kinda wish it was like the first game where you could start a fight and ya know get away with it without instantly being taken to court as also getting money was way easier too so definitely still having fun trying to get through the slog

Mr mat dickie this game is by far the best prison simulator game you have ever made and that I ever played. I have bought the full game and enjoy it very much. However I would want to see a fix on missions. For example this person gives me a mission but a other person also has me a mission but idk anything about the mission about the other person. They didn’t come to me or anything. Also I would like to see a new feature/change for judge. I think everyone would like to be given the opportunity to become the judge and rule whether someone is guilty or not. I believe this feature would be liked by a lot of people and make the game more customizable for those that have the full game such as me. Powers given to us as the judge could be find someone guilty whether there actually (NOT) guilty or are we get to choose. Along with given the authority to dismiss anyone’s sentence or reduce there sentence. Corrupt or not if we do good as judge be given a good big paycheck. Pls let this be a feature Mr dickie. Thank you for a amazing game 😎
