Rogue Femme

I don't normally write negative reviews but boy, does this one need it. First of all it's all trashy ai art... disgusting as it is I love rouge-likes so I gave it a try. Now, the combat is soo unbalanced it's not even enjoyable. not only are most of the cards exhaust cards, like for the strength boost sure but the rest? Why? And none of the healing cards are any good cause it gives 3-5 healing and enemies on the first level do 10-14 damage so your better off getting shields because the camps don't give much healing either. Not only do they only give 25 healing, which would be fine if it was a free option, but 75 gold?? Its such a waste, better spending 100 gold on the rare card. So if you don't have any gold the camps are useless to you, I definitely recommend making the 25 healing free and charge gold to do more healing. And don't think you wont need healing because not only do the enemies just get way stronger, you don't get all that much stronger. Heres my main recommendation for the developer, play Slay the Spire, learn how Rouge-likes work, and while there are artifacts in the game you should add more of them, give them a wide range of different effects. For example I really wanted an artifact that gives me more mana, even if the artifact has other debuffs. Sure the buttplug gives 1 mana at the start of combat but that's it. The combat in this game is designed for quick battles. All of your good cards exhaust, at a certain point you can't up your strength, and if enemies do poison damage your screwed. I can tell you've putten some good work into this game so good luck on it. And if you ever do get some real art for the game I may come back, even if its terrible art I'd still prefer it, And for anyone wanting to play it I'd suggest waiting for some more updates

just thought i'd share what i would like to see in the future (just 2 things)

1. a gallery to view all the cards, and see the possible art for the enemies too, that way, you can see the late game art if you struggle to get to them

2. would like more player transformations, and an option to have the transformation pre-selected, example; a slime transformation without slime cards

my suggestions are mainly for a way for people that aren't good at the game see all the content

also, when will the starting deck option be public?

Been playing this a bunch the last few days, and I had some thoughts and bug reports I wanted to share. Or rather, many thoughts, enough that I hope this gets collapsed. Wall of text is go.

Poison damage is unavoidable. Very uncool ever since healing became limited in my opinion.

Shield Maiden and Shoulder plates does not show correct block value when affected by shield.

Researching doesn't seem to auto-target the player.

Relics fail to display sometimes. Could be an issue with playing multiple runs in one session.

Some of the relics are barely impactful. +1 strength does very little in this balance. +1 strength per enemy would be more interesting (+1 shield also isn't much, but that one at least doesn't come with a downside).

Shop heal feels like it ought to be percentage-based.

The Fragile effect if very meaningless against enemies. Although iirc it's never applied alone so not very big deal. Could still consider letting it have some extra effect on enemies.

Hoping for some kind of "gold stolen back" system against goblins (are they meant to steal like 50-60 gold per attack?)

Currently question-mark rooms are too likely to be an ambush. I assume this will be less of an issue when more events are made though.

I'm guessing it's planned, but having the ability to see your deck at any time would be very nice.

I understand re-doing art is never good, but I feel like Basic attack ought to have art where the sword is somewhat prominent.

Saw someone else mention the idea of transforming enemies, and that the extra work isn't worth it. It's a fun idea, and unless the problem is about changing enemy art rather than the amount of art, it might be justifiable to do something like only two stages, and only for bosses.

Again, sorry for the wall of text. I'm enjoying this game and I hope to see it improved further.

What are you useing to generate the art if I may ask?

Where's the apk?

Absolutely love this game, but I would like to know
Are u planning on adding an achievement system?
There will be an end or goal to achieve at the end or just infinite combats?

Planning on more transformations?(Now that there are new enemy types)

Keep up the good work.

I really enjoy this game keep, up the good work. Also i would love to see a update where you can get like a little companion from the Relicts after the level boss ( not stackable tho ) Whatever you have planned next im looking forward to it <3

Really enjoyed the game, keep it up! Looking forward to see what you add next. 

Want to congratulate u on making a good ahh game. it's lewd enough but not too much, the perfect balance. Only gripe I have is the transformation sheeit is kinda wack for me. I'm not too weirded out by it but it would be great if there was a non-transformation playthrough where you stay as the dude, but maybe just look beat up or skinnier when u lose health. 

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED

KEEP GOING

I know it's a lot of work, but could there be fights where you transform them when you damage them like they do to you?

Please update the android version.

I am running Android 14 and the installer compains that this app is not comptabile with my device. This should be a simple fix by setting the targetSDKVersion accordingly.

Solid game, excellent work, no question about that. But if I can add one feedback - if the art is AI generated (and if not then please ignore), I think that's ok for someone starting out with no resources; but it would be fantastic if you can buy or commission assets made by an artist, once you can afford to; instead of essentially using a program that borrows art and combines it, because then it becomes impossible to credit the artists, without which games would not be possible. I can't get you there by myself but I subbed to your patreon as a small tip for a great game.

In fact, general statement, but if it's up to me, I genuinely prefer amateur art; whether drawn by you or an amateur artist you work with. To me, it's enough that art just accurately communicate the thing it's supposed to be. It doesn't need to be fancy and detailed and shaded just right or whatever, because when I see a simple, accurate drawing, my human brain fills in every single detail (even porn). It 100% honestly doesn't make me think any better of your efforts at making a great game (and it is great) to have fancy art. But if you do get an artist, I'm happy to pay a premium for their added efforts.

I really like the game so far. though I saw some of the beast enemies are fully anthro, I was kinda disappointed the player transformation from having a beast deck is basically still human, same with the other animal one. so I wanted to ask if there are any plans to add a more furry player transformation? like if you get enough of that card type or something?

This game still using AI art? Does it have any plans of getting real art? 

When will the new version drop, im already a patron.

Could you please add a border to the text that displays enemy hp,
it's almost impossible to read the hp of the middle enemy on the mountain map, because it's the same color as the background

Just wanna ask, when would 0.0.9 be public

Great game, personally I am a sucker for "Slay the Spire"-like gamers and the implementation is really good, can't wait to see how the game will develop.

Little feedback:

1. Because there are no settings, so you are always forced to play in full screen mode all the time.
2. When you come back to the map after a fight, you are always at the start and this makes it a bit annoying to scroll to the current position repeatedly (especially towards the end)
3. The support for Android is not really optimized and everything is displayed quite small (otherwise everything works quite well and I really liked that you have to click on the map before you can drag it to the target)
4. Slime is definitely the strongest build. You can kill anything with poison, and by stacking healing and max hp+ you can easily come out of a run with more hp than you go in with. (This is where a buff that does not affect the player, such as more damage to enemies, would be nice so you cannot get around it so easily.)

But overall great work and i will definitely support the game as soon as i can afford it <3

I have found a minor bug. At one iteration you nerfed the healing of "Lone Wolf" by not applying the strength multiplier to healing. Working as intended. The "human" counterpart "My heart is yours" which can be bought at inn also mechanically only boosts attack but not healing, but the card description for healing still shows scaled up values with increasing strength.

The Inn-cards seem overlocked, found another one: While the monster-healing cards have a "Depletes after play" function, the inn-cards do not.

But honestly I think the difficulty is kinda over the top now, losing 50 max HP in "new game +" and restricting the use of cards that give extra max health. I mean, I told you about this exploit in the first place, but now there is no need for those "increase max health cards" anymore since the healing is nerfed so bad you rarely reach top of your health. And blocking is outclassed so easily with poison or overpowering strength. Only viable build now are lots of free cards like ambush + lone wolf to keep at least a little repeatable healing.

But I have to say I like the new boss with that special ability.

Is there a way to determine or control what kind of transformations happen? It seems rather arbitrary. Sometimes I seem to transform based on what I was fighting previously, sometimes it's completely unrelated. I thought at first that it might have to do with the ratio of what kind of cards are in your deck but that doesn't seem to affect it.

The continue is great. It's fairly exploitable with the "raise max health" cards, 'though. But so I got the chance to deliberately tackle the oni fields, which I usually completely avoid.

Would be nice to have some rng variation in the cards you can buy in the shop.

And maybe a new card set? Maybe elemental magic? Or aquatic themed?

Keep it up, it's really fun.

Is there a cheat code for this?

The game feels a bit (very) difficult. Multiple enemies in the same encounter that scale strength whittle down all my health, only for poison enemies to kill me after. Maybe make less enemies boost strength or do it in smaller amounts or less frequently? Please?

Has anyone ever beat this since they removed the heal scaling with strength? It feels like it is impossible to gain any health anymore and the later bosses have so much health you are not going to kill them before they kill you. Farthest I have ever got was just before the final fight

I think have cards that heal and damage scale off of damage would be a good idea, because enemies can hit extremely hard and then heal 2-5x the healing/shield I have

Amazing graphic and game play design!

One detail that I think that will make the overall character much better is to make them to scale, as in height of all characters and no one's head is twice bigger then other's.

keep at it! lookin good for first steps.
