Rogue Femme

I'm on the latest public Android build, and I can't input a name for my save file... Help if possible. Specifically, the keyboard isn't being pulled up on entering the text box

Hello! Im trying to play the public version on Windows but when I press Start, its not starting :(

I checked the Unity logs and Im getting this, hoping to help to fix the bug

I started with v0.1.9 and now on v0.2.0 and really enjoying the experience! I just wanted to note here an issue I have come across a few times in both versions. 

When you visit a "?" space and you get the same event and reward a second time, the game seems to soft lock for me, with the "Continue" button becoming inactive when claiming the same reward in the 2nd instance.

I've had this happen with the demon shield, as well as the glory hole when it heals 10 HP. It seemed okay when other results happened for the same ? event (demon sword, then demon shield worked fine) but when you have an identical result a second time, this seems to happen for some event types.

All that said, I am playing the Windows build on Linux via Wine, so if this issue is not possible to reproduce normally, it may be something that only happens in my more obscure situation. Either way, I figured I should mention it just in case it is impacting others too.

Regardless, I'm really appreciating the variety and high replay value of the game so far, and I'm looking forward to future updates too.

Any way for the demon tf?

How do you type your save name on mobile, the keyboard thingie doesn't show up?

what could we expect on version 2.0?

The "art" in this game is AI generated and lacks soul, download if you're into that...

So i have put like 8hrs into this game the last couple of days and I have to say I enjoy it quite a bit. One thing I want to mention though poison decks although difficult to start with seem a bit broken to me. I basically created a deck were I continue to stack enough poison on all enemies before they can react once to defeat them all at once on their first turn. With this completed deck I ran through like 4 or 5 stages (not individual fights) without taking a single point of dmg.

*Additional note I played the current free version.

I played the barebones earlier version in the current iterration its one of the best card game/roguelikes on the site and I tried thousands over the years. The shield bash build is so far the best and furthest I got.  Love that AI art allows for such polished looking games by a single person and with extensive card collections.

i have a small  problem idk if this a bug or something but when i played and closes the game and relogin next day, i can't progress to the place where i have been before.. it shows me the first page.

It could be good that the cards in the deck was sorted, right ?

what known transformations are there? is it the only 3 beast, myistic,slime?

what does stage two mean?

Hey I was wondering if there will be any demonic transformation we could see soon?

I am OBSESSED with your art style. Absolutely loving the game. can't wait to see more from you!!

Hey dude, loving the game so far, played it for a few months and it's great. Just wondering if you could add a zoom in feature on the cards for the future.

That bug would be fixed in future (or already fixed in 1.8)? Because really frustrating when I lose only because I can't do anything to enemy beyond screen

Linux download?

I think you shouldn't be discouraged by people whining about the AI art. Less time spent on art means more time spent on mechanics, which is a win in my book.

The intro could elaborate a little more on the pc's experience with the area. It could explain why the pc is only wearing pants, and why the pc has blue hair.

Packing a big surprise is a pretty meh card IMO. Only really meaningful alongside 0-cost cards or Stardust Connection. Outside of that it's equivalent to stunning everyone for a turn.

If the player has over 100 block, the font shrinks.

Could add a card that poisons multiple enemies. Maybe steal "Bouncing flask" from StS (Poison random target 3 times).

The dark debuff is really annoying, especially when the common encounter applies it every other turn. One idea I had is to change the dark debuff into "the next x cards you draw are hidden", and have the boss succubus apply 5-6 dark, and have the common demon girl apply 2-3. It would make the effect less punishing from non-bosses, and let card-drawing be a counterplay.

One solution to the issue with enemies' poison is to remove poison from enemies entirely. If you want enemy DoT, then they could be given a variant that isn't block-piercing, maybe named Acid or Fire. (Acid could 100% be a DoT that only damages block though).

I'm torn on the post-boss transformation. On the one hand, yay boobs, and it alleviates the common "lose for smut" problem, but on the other, it kinda removes the whole TF aspect from then on. I'm guessing there will be more transformations to be afflicted with in the future, though.

Maybe it's just personal preference, but I would like it if buying cards was a bit more like StS, with individual cards with individual prices, and knowing 100% what card you're getting before you spend the money (yeah, you get to choose, but the selection is random and shown after money is spent).

I think the gamble intent has issues. I once heard a story about Slay the Spire's development, saying that the game became much more strategic when they added the enemy intents. Yes, the gamble is just one hidden intent at a time, but still. I think it should either have the same limitation as StS's "unknown" intent (not attacking) or display a number that shows their damage IF they attack. It would also be very nice to get a clear idea of what they actually do after, but that would probably come down to vfx.

I haven't had any bad experiences with it yet, but I can see Card Steal being really harsh with the wrong rng/deck, since there is no way to prevent it and no way to get the card back (unless you have Infernal Recall and get lucky). I feel that it would make the most sense if it was a weak-ish enemy that steals a single card and returns it on death, or maybe deal x damage to prevent. Enemy moves that move cards around between deck, discard and hand could potentially be quite interesting though.

This is the second wall of text I post in this feed. I'm sorry, I can't help it.

ew AI

Meh, nothing more than practice. Too simple as a decbuilder, too static as a h game. Wanna decbuilder - Slay the Spire, h game - maybe smth else, tho for smb that game's gonna be ok as h game. But don't get me in the wrong, THAT game NOW is meh, but that doesn't means that it won't give enough knowledge to make smth cool or won't be better in the future. Keep working, and wish you best.

as someone who enjoys both rogue likes and deckbuilders, this is a pretty fun game.  

however i noticed there may be a bug regarding relics/abilities.  It seems (on the browser version) that once i get an ability, it cannot be gotten again in following playthroughs.  I have had this happen with several relics, including both the "?" event ones and the boss rewards ones.  in following playthroughs when i choose the ones I chose in previous playthroughs, the icon does not show up, signifying i have it, and the abilities do not go off (off the top of my head i can think of the Hucow healing one, and the two beast ones related to gaining strength (start of battle or from damage), i know there are others, but those are the ones i could actually test if the abilities happened without the icon.

Hi, I really like the game and I’m super excited how it will develop! Are there any plans for the player to able to counter poison in the future?

It’s the only mechanic in the game I haven’t been able to plan around, so it would improve the experience a lot :)

Cheers

The error I’m getting while trying to run it on Mac is consistent with a deprecated framework that’s not supported on modern Macs. It never gets to the point of hitting the security wall.

AI art just ain't it

Hello I have idea for this game, you should add some more transformation like shark or any animal should worth at it. Also could add cock transformation like it gives strength (relic) and u also add paralyze, freeze, burn. Poison seems alone damaging without psychical damage. (sorry for english >.<)

Fun and interesting game. Only issue right now is after stage 1 every build will turn into strengh one. Maybe add function to keep card types from previous stage (beast, mythical and slime)? Because chance to choose poison cards will simply dissappear untill you fight elites. Maybe even add choice to either keep stage 1 TF or stage 2 (demon, goblin and mushroom/fairy/alrune)?

First off, its a Great game and a nice idea, so i donated to support your hard work. However if useful here's a little bit of feedback...

When finishing the first act and picking your relic it implies that you can either A stay human and get one of the Generic relics or B pick one from the 'curse' based on your deck 'corruption'. 
To me the story here is quite compelling i would i suggest that if the player picks B then they are 'Cursed' into that form and don't return to human at the start of the next act. 

Using existing assets then in act 2 you would start off as The Slime, Mythical, Beast. Using the existing relics. That way picking the relic based off shielding your character's avatar would be cursed into the female form from then on for all further battles. 

Then when completing the 2 act you could then specialize again if your corruption type is still the same. Each of the 3 would have further cursed forms to go with them. 

Mythical -> Centaur, Harpy, Mermaid

Beast -> Antro Fox, Wolf, Cat

Slime -> Lamia, Slime girl, Goblin

When picking these forms each would have a relic which changes the game to represent that style of play. For example Centaurs get bonus damage based off there current defense but take more damage to poison.

Maybe the antro fox form could give a card draw and reduce cost when hitting vulnerable targets but have to trash the card from the deck for the battle. 

Possibly the Lamia form gain life back when hitting poisoned targets but  cannot play cards with shielding?

Obviously this would take a bit more thought and a fair bit of balancing but would create a huge amount of re-playability with some something unique to this style of card game. 

good game. actual really fun mechanics.
But you can quite easily break the game.

If you gather 3-4 Raise max HP and Heal cards and Cards that deal damage based on money you are basically invinsible and can beat the game infinitely.
Stopped at round 12 with max gold.

Other than that really fun.
The HP loss after each round may be unnecessary. The game can be punishing as it is.

So I just spent a whopping seven hours in this game, all in a row, whish says a lot about its abillity to draw players in. I feel I completed all that there is there to complete, and while I enjoyed it I do feel that there is some areas for improvements.

First; the good. Core gameplay loop is outstanding, though it is headily loaned from elsewhere. I feel that if there was a little more content you could just slap a small price on it and call it a finished project, and it makes me happy this is just the start of the development. Each time I lost my brain said "no, you can do better," and if it didn't, then it said "no, try this." To me that is the mark of a good roguelike, and its only weakness is that I wanted more from it.

I really like the cards. I felt that there was a good amount of expressive gameplay in them, without it feeling too easy to cheese. I was kind of hoping for more synergy between the cards, but I do feel like that ios something you really have to look out for. Beware, with all card games and comedians, of  a reliance on cheese.

Its not all sunshine though. Towards the end of those seven hours the gameplay started to feel shallow, mean even, with the latter stages feeling a touch on the hard side. Normally you unlock things as you go on, and it might just be because I was in the free browser version but I didn't actually find anything. It meant that there was a pretty definitive ceiling to the gameplay, where I really had to cheese to get any further. I might even consider adding a difficulty, because there is times I wanted to play it more experimentally, and it just wasn't an option.

I also feel there wasn't really enpough telegraphing. There are symbols, indicating how hard the zone is, but I feel there could be more detail, maybe alluding to what types of enemy you are going to face, or at least what kinds of enemy you aren't. I really wanted to build a specific kind of deck on occasion, and I feel the game doesn't really allow for that.

The game is basically a collection of images at this point, with a narrative set up that is never really explored. I feel with the game leaning into the TG you might have explored the theme more, though I imagine that is something the dev might start to expand later. 

I will say that I feel reluctant to endorse a game with AI art. Its free, but the second the ball starts rolling I cant advise enough that the devs move away from it. A lot of the visuals really suffered from it, especially the goo-girl line of transformation. 

The gooification TF ended up in a right state. The character's trousers melt into a skirt, which was an interestin, if bizarre choice. As the TF reaches the end stage they ended up blotches of flesh on the knees even in the end stage, which made for a subtly grizzly imade. 

Meanwhile, the wolf and the centaur TFs barely seemed to TF at all. I ended up avoiding them, purely because they looked visually uninspired. 

All in all, I think the game is worth investing in, and well worth playing.

I just have downloaded the game and not tested yet but as i see with the review and the preview it's a Slay of the spire nsfw version (witch.... it something i wanted for a long time cause i love rogue-like card game and having a hentai version is rare) and even if i'm not fan of IA art (there good ia art and bad ia art and i have the feeling this game have the good ia art) i will gladly play and make a more detailled review in the future ^^

Keep working and improving that game with passion and love ^^ but don't overwork too 👀 we don't want to see a solo dev getting """fucked""" by his own game 😂😂😂 or being discouraged by the bad review or idk

Why can't i play as a female?

Firstly, I would like to mention that this is a fantastic game which I thoroughly enjoyed, and this is coming from a person who usually dislikes card based combat. 

As the saying goes, ‘I came for the fap, and stayed for the amazing gameplay’ ;)

Now, for the actual game review time!

The AI Art: I am one of those ppl who kind of gets ‘fake-ish’ vibes when looking at AI art, but in this game, those feelings are minimal. The art itself is very neat and pretty, especially since the proportions of the monster ppl look quite realistic. There is also quite a wide variety of character art and landscape art. 

All in all, great art :) a 9/10

The Combat Mechanics: I usually don’t like card-based combat games, but this game got it just right for me. As to how it managed to do so… I don’t really know, my best guess would be that every part of the entire system, from the 3 action points with a hand of five possible cards per turn at first to the different types of damage, damage negation and all the other special effects, works really well together.

Superb combat mechanics ^^ , solid 10/10

The Deck-building Mechanics:  Very good, but I feel that only ppl who play for a long time would know how to fully utilize this to get a good card deck. For example, the different types of battles you can have: Red, yellow, green and bosses. It took me about 5-7 battles to realize that the type of cards you get depends on the color of the battle you are choosing. It then took me a few replays of the whole game to realize bosses give better cards. And then I only just recently found out that there is an insanely overpowered card which you can purchase from the common cards section of the shop, which is the ‘gain an extra 5 max health’ card. In my past replays, I was always stopped from progressing cuz my max health dropped to 1, but now I can continue playing the same save for a longer time. 

Great mechanics, solid 9/10. 

Possible improvements: Mention such things in a tutorial and maybe add a card gallery so newer players know where to get what cards and it would help facilitate them in building a stronger deck.

Gameplay: A fantastic game which was a lot of fun for me to play through. Great replayability, and allows for a few different playstyles. What I really enjoy is that you can get quite a broken deck if you want to or you can have a relatively normal deck and enjoy a struggle, by choosing what kind of deck you build, you can kind of choose the difficulty of the game. However… the poison damage side of the game is kind of… useless, for lack of a better word. Right from the start you are given a physical damage deck, so to transition to a poison damage deck is very difficult cuz you need to get rid of the physical damage cards and replace them with poison damage cards before you can start improving your poison damage deck. But if you just stay on physical damage, you can focus on improving it from the get go. And the poison damage deck doesn’t seem really better than the physical damage deck. I’ve tried about 7 poison damage runs and I have only beaten the 1st boss in 1 of them. But for the physical damage runs, all of them, except my first 5 games, I have been able to make it to at least the 3rd boss. All of this could be due to my play style, but a poison deck feels really weak to me.

Superb Gameplay, 10/10

Possible solutions: You can make different starting decks and give players a choice of what kind of starting deck they want to make the poison deck more accessible. You can also buff the poison cards

Questions:

I noticed that whenever I reach the shop space, I get to see the nice little alcove where the shop is situated in first, before I have to press the shop to access it. Are you planning on adding more buildings to the alcove where the shop is?

Would you ever let your discord server go public? I feel that much of the player base aren’t subscribing on patreon, and that it would be good for the game if you let the rest of the players in so that you can properly develop a community around your game to increase popularity

Thank you for reading my review 0w0 , I hope that my critiques weren’t too abrasive and I hope that you aren’t overworking yourself coming up with the monthly updates. I truly enjoyed your game, keep up the good work!   >w<
