Slow, laggy, battery3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Hard Time III may contain all the themes of a prison game that virtually everyone loves, but the unreasonably slow animations, unsatisfying fighting mechanics and petty punishments contribute to a not-so great mobile…
★★★★★ To play it takes to long for current gameplay take place like fighting, it takes like over 30 seconds just to stand up & to punch someone you swing so slow makes you not want to play the game.

★★★★★ An absolute masterpiece of emergent system design.
★★★★★ been playing MDickie games since a little kid. another masterpiece.
★★★★★ Furthermore, expanding the game's visual fidelity and user interface could also bring it in line with other top-tier simulators.
Worth the money2%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Amazing game, paid a couple dollars for the full game and it's so worth it.
★★★★★ Make it free travel like you would find in GTA rather than a loading screen when changing locations.
★★★★★ 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.

I paid for full version and yet I keep getting ads

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026
Bring to consoles

I’ve been playing these games since I was a kid and always enjoyed them. But I think if you guys polished it up a bit and bring it to consoles as a 3D third person, prison simulator type of game, it would be great. That’s something games like gta have never done. You get arrested in those type of games but never experience being behind bars. Especially with all gangs and side quests, you can make it to where you earn your reputation to run the game inside and outside the walls. And obviously like in your games now, if you serve your time you get let out. If your out, you can get caught doing stuff to get sent back. And your reputation matters how they treat you, similar to how it does now, just a little more advanced. Just my opinions but i think it would do great.

★★★★★Oct 2, 2026
More than a brawler—a brilliant masterclass in emergent sociology

To anyone skimming screenshots, this looks like goofy, ragdoll anarchy. But once you look under the hood, Hard Time III is a terrifyingly accurate, deep simulation of raw human power dynamics, social friction, and deterrence economies. There are no fake, scripted Hollywood cutscenes here. Every riot, grudge, and sudden alliance is a mathematical inevitability driven by interconnected systemic rules. The AI doesn't act "randomly"—it reacts to your stats, your leverage, and your reputation. If you maintain strict boundaries, the yard respects you. If you leave half-measured loose ends, the simulation will eventually loop back and cash that debt with interest. Mat Dickie isn't just making games; he's building miniature sociology engines. An absolute masterpiece of emergent system design.

★★★★★Sep 27, 2026
BRO!!!

WHY IN TARNATION DO SOME PRISONERS TEAM UP WITH THE COPS!!😂 Bro...do you understand how annoying it is to be in the middle of brutally beating a cop and then randomly get tackled by some wanna be super hero prisoner?🙆🏾‍♂️ YOU SUPPOSED TO HATE COPS AS MUCH AS I DO!!! IT GENUINELY PISSES ME OFF!!!

★★★★★Sep 27, 2026
Some problems

When you hit a cop they will always send you to court but it supposed to get hand cuffed and then go to court and you can add more things and why is there weapons on floor can you remove it I want to be more realistic

★★★★★Sep 26, 2026
Wow!

Loved the og 2D version for mobile as well as the pc version via YouTube letsplayers. This seems like a faithful project and it just feels fun to play :) I hope as more updates roll out we can see part cyborg and part human for those with disabilities. Love tossing people from the top of North Block <3

Store description

The toughest prison sim in the yard is back to serve its 3rd consecutive sentence - combining classic moments from the OG with the best aspects of 2D, while putting out a few hits of its own! See how long you can survive in a sprawling facility, where hundreds of fellow prisoners are trying to get through each day in real-time. Develop relationships with an advanced dialogue system that allows you to start conversations before the drama comes to you. Should you choose violence, a combat system perfected by wrestling lets you express yourself with your fists! Hundreds of fully interactive props can be equipped in either hand to dual wield as tools or weapons - including mind-blowing gunplay that allows you to shoot at ANY moment. Reinforced by a creative crafting system, you've only ever run out of ammo when you've run out of ideas. Just when you think you've seen it all, a whole other police role challenges you to tackle crime from the other side of the fence - keeping existing prisoners in order while patrolling the streets for new ones! An extended outside world makes life worth living, with a wider range of vehicles and animals to explore it. All now presented with higher resolution visuals, a smoother frame rate, and a wider variety of camera angles to enjoy cinematic moments. Upon upgrading to the fully "unlocked" experience, an inbuilt editor empowers you to save your changes to each character to make the world your own. You can then blow off steam in a special "Fight Scene" mode - where you select WHO fights WHERE and with WHAT! The action can also be enjoyed at a smoother 60fps frame rate on compatible devices, with no ads for paying customers.
