Others - Free Cardware [v0.1.4] [LewdTheMoon]

Can't, this game is bad, and it hurts to say this because i want to like it, I REALLY WANT to like that... but it's impossible.
now lets no bash at the DEV ai Fiasco or Patreon, none of this matter, i'm here to talk about the cake not about the baker.

a game of turn, rogue-like and it doesn't focus on rpg maker style sounds promising already in comparison to the industry of h-games, the battle system sounds fine? It wants you to revolve around Lust Point, where you use it to debuff enemies and gain advantage as many cards uses LP to deal damage too, but LP can also mess up you horribly as it makes you orgasm like the enemies and you get stunned, there's a small issue though, it's unbalanced asf.
so many enemies start to have big LP requeriments to stun while they can also puke casually 10 LP into you, and stunning you into 3 turns.
Additionally, this game risk vs reward events absolutely sucks, because for example, the laundry event where you may lose your clothes are meaningless, since all what matters most is if you have panties, enemies that ignores your panties also ignores your clothes overall.
some events literally have zero risk and only reward, like the futanari woman going for the brothel, you just lose if you reject her, and lose nothing but gain money if you offer yourself for her.

The Enemy Balancing are awful. just take a look at the picture below.

so, the first enemy of the game can by RNG, deny you from shattering it disguise, and if her temptation reaches 12 (she gains multiples a turn, not only 1) she will orgasm you, you gonna get stun and receive a truck of damage just for giggles, what happened? she were at 5 HP, and i was inches of destroying her, but nah, this turn gonna give you 5 dildo rides, a card you don't have but need sex interaction somewhere amirite?, and if you are not satisfied enough, the next 3 turns gonna be either dildo ride or touch, either way you're taking the stun.
the enemies are so bizarrely placed, because it either gonna be a 20 HP no-life girl that deals 2 damage and 1 lp per turn, or someone with casually 76 damage and gonna lock sex on you magically turn one.

also if something that bothers me a lot, is how the events are just not worth it testing otherwise, i'm looking at you 'line of people', all it asks is you to wait on the line to receive something, which is okay, the problem is that for some reason this event discourages you of testing all other options, 'rub your pussy'? Lol, get a 'onahole' debuff for the whole gmae, that gonna constantly give you buckets of LP and your run are dead, whether was a dev joke or not.
or the pithole, there is no reason to leave but take a nap, none of the times i took nap anything happened, you just receive free hp, while other options for some reason either do nothing to you or forces you to take LP.
and for funny fact, this game is not hard despite my whining here, because you can also commonly receive cards like 'stun' and stunlock literally ANY ENEMY (even bosses) of the game forever.
you are not forced to take cards and can remove them, so you can just... collect 2 stun cards, remove everything else but 2 damaging moves, and the enemy can't move anymore.

"But I am here for the PORN, i don't care about the GAME!."
if you are that type of dude... i'm... sorry, not even you gonna enjoy that thing.
the tags are lying, there is no 'animated' sex as far i know, they are just 2 jpgs that cycle between one another, then your character full of cum.
see below:

AT MAXIMUM you can use the cheat mode and use the 'Cycle Sex' that gonna make the cycles automatic, still, you can obviously see there is no animation, just a flying penis entering your character, and you character don't even change expression or move at all, and for the worse, what you saw on these videos are like a third of the sex scenes, because there is no more, the sex scenes of events are only a single static image, and the ones in gameplay are reused, every single of them except the slime and the other monster girl with blue penis i forgot.
if you remove the slime one that is literally a static image, and the blue one
you have grand total of 6 "animations" that are reused for every single monster of the game that can have sex.
and sorry to disappoint, all of these 6 'animation's are the exact quality of the gifs above.

look, i would GET, the game is on 0.1.4, and balancing shouldn't be a so harshly debated issue, but the animations are... just not good, it uses AI for generative pictures, and me as someone who have experience with generative AI for pictures and videos, look, you have difficulties to make the AI consistently produce stuff and etc... i know it's not easy to develop something unique, but it's not hard either start doing so, and when you catch the first thing, the AI understands what you want and you can batch a lot of on a hour.
(don't take this Ai session as attack to the Dev, because i'm not here to specifically jab the developer, my point is that if he's using AI already, it won't hurt making extra frames to animate it instead of being a slideshow.)

TL;DR, i want to like this game, i really want to like it, it's not unique, far from being a unique game, but nothing needs to be exclusive to be fun.
consider it you found a kitchen full of food, it smells amazing, except all of them are but ingredients, you want to eat, but oyu know they're just ingredients, not the prepared food.

potential is big, but it's very pooor and lackluster, on everything.
eveyrone have excuses "If the gameplay isn't good, then animations at least makes up" or "If animations aren't good, hey at least the game is really fun"
and then there is this... unbalanced, unfun overall to explore, and not even the paint slideshow saves it.

The game offers very good gameplay and beautiful art style. Combat feels smooth and fluid, and the overall performance is solid. It still lacks a bit of content, but what's already here is really fun and promising. With future updates, it could become something truly great

It's not bad, but it's noticeably in its early stages. The cards aren't balanced at all, the events are few and repetitive, and the sex scenes are identical without much variety.

Even so, this game has potential if it continues to develop. Add bad endings for losing battles, more events that are more descriptive of sex, or consequences for using one type of card over another (teasing vs. sex, for example), but without those things and the game consisting only of card games and (some small events) It's just a game with potential but feels unfinished.

But as it stands now, at version 0.1.4, it needs a lot of work, and with effort, this could be a great game. But for now, I can only give it 3 stars and recommend you try it on itch.io online.

Completely rng based. Some enemies can end a run instantly. Most of the events are totally worthless. Or there's a small chance they win you the game. 90% of the cards are trash that only bloat your deck. Seemingly no consideration given to balancing cost or power. Spend 2 of my 3 energy to heal for 1/5 the damage an enemy can do in one attack? Great. As of 0.1.2 whether you win or lose is entirely dependent on how many of the single card "body slam" you randomly receive. The screen cuts off the text on the cards until you mouse over each one. Pathetic variety rn. Want it to be great some day but not sure whether I should have faith in the man at the helm. Oh and it's also completely unfappable. No one could cum to this.

Surprising addicted. At first, I was completely blind. What to do? How do I play? I died? Why?
But then I spent time to look up the description of effects. Learnt to make a deck that is useful and voilà, I beat the game.

It's kinda short but understandable because it's small game. The Arts is really nice but 90% of the time I was focus in playing and don't have time to look at it. Not to mention there is no CG collection so usually I'll try to avoid getting myself in a bad situation. Took down enemies so fast they can't even use special attack on my character.

Even though I give this game a high score, but there are still rooms for improvement.
First, I would like to see more playstyle. Because from what I gathered, the only effective way to beat the game is the Lewdness build. I want to see more builds that are viable.
Second, as mentioned above, CG collection to look back at all the scenes that I missed. It would be nice if the scenes are all animated but that will cost a lot to make. Hope the dev will get all the support that they need.
Third, this one is obvious. More levels, 3 are too short as I was snowballing everything on my way after level 2. Maybe also add a Story to the game, it will spice things up as in most hentai games, the most erotic thing is the context.

Short and not having much variety yet, but very colorful and with high potential roguelike. Card game with choice of path to boss and earlier met with the ability to change the characteristics of the character, and not only add items, I hope over time the game will expand significantly and these features will appear.

I never write reviews but this game is seriously great. Simple, re-playable, nice graphics etc. Looking forward to future updates. Also the fact that the changelog included the aggressive patreon button and an explanation as to why- was freaken hilarious.

If I could give it 3.5 Stars I would.
Solid in the state that it's in, but more content and some refining / balancing will be nice.

SFW Art Quality
Backgrounds / Environment, Icons, UI, Character Designs (Depends), Visual Effects, etc.
Basically anything unrelated to the actual NSFW Content

3/5
It's decent pixel art, though a bit "messy" or "crunchy" so it can be hard to distinguish some details.



NSFW Art Quality
CGs, Scenes, Sex-Appealing Character Designs, etc.
Anything designed to get the blood (and hand) pumping.

3/5
Pretty much same as above. The characters are attractive, but nothing out-of-the-ordinary.



Animation Quality
0 / 5
Unfortunately, this game has the "animated" tag while not actually having any animations.

Some of the static images representing the progression of "states" (for example, shirt down, shirt half up, shirt fully up, shirt off), and sometimes they translate (move left / right) slightly such as when playing a card, but this (in my humble opinion) does not count as being animated.

It's fine to not be animated, but it should not be advertised as such, since people use tags to search for specific things (which is how I ended up playing it in the first place).

If I notice that the animated tag has been removed, I will edit and remove this section of my review and update the score.



Audio Quality
Music, Actions, UI, Sex Sounds, etc.
Anything that comes through my headphones.

2 / 5
The sound effects are fine. Though I think there could have been more. For example, I think most events don't have any sound, just text.



Gameplay Quality
Self-explanatory.
While a truly great H-Game prioritizes the Game over the H, I am more lenient than I would be with non-H-Games since we all know what we’re here for, after all…

3 / 5
The gameplay is solid. I found myself enjoying it more than I thought I would, as I am not typically a card-game-player. While it was fun, I did find it very very difficult. But again, I could just be very bad.
Managing Lust and Health while trying to do enough damage was hard. I know you can fill the enemy's lust to stun them for 2-3 turns, but in my experience trying to do that always backfired since most of the Lust cards increase your Lust as well, and the enemy almost always has at least double the LP you do. So I always ended up orgasming first and taking a lot of damage.
Trying to focus just on attacking, though, was hard because many skills only do "some" damage. It takes quite a few rounds and at least one orgasm per fight for me to beat an enemy, and that isn't sustainable to get farther than halfway up. I did get to the boss once, but had like 3HP so died instantly.

Probably just a skill issue though. Solid gameplay, regardless. Just hard.



Writing Quality
Setting, Story, Dialogue, etc.
Pretty much any text.

3.5 / 5
Also not much to say here. The writing is competent and serves it's purpose, and was even funny in a few places ("Please panic").
The premise isn't clearly established, but easily understood through context.
There isn't really any story, but that's perfectly fine - this isn't a story game.

Game is really fun and has a lot of potential, really like the art style, but would love if there would be a progression system to get stronger between runs. Also looking forward to more events and different enemies in future updates

Excellent, especially for a 0.1 release.
If you enjoy this style of game then the fundamentals are solid.

You can easily squeeze a couple of hours out of beating the game and seeing all events, feels like a complete game as it stands.
I'm sure there will be plenty more content added.

Artwork is good, audio is good.

A fun deck builder with battlefuck mechanics but bare bones as of 0.1, lacking in card variety and the game lasting too short once you get going with nothing to do once you finish a run.
The art is good for being AI.
For an initial release it is good and I hope subsequent updates manage to deliver since it looks promising.

This is for version 0.1.1
Extremely fun Slay The Spire clone. The art/music is very good despite being AI, probably because they chose a cyberspace theme.

Right now my only complaints are the ugly UI and the lack of content. Currently there is only 1 boss despite having 3 Acts and the same 3 or 4 events get repetitive quickly.

This could get really addictive if it gets injected with more stuff to do in the future.

Shockingly good! The art is nice, the game loop is pleasant, I had alot of fun with it. The only issue is the lack of content - there is only a few kinds of enemy and 1 boss that repeats throughout the entire game, and once you beat the boss a third time (It loops each time you get to the end) it appears it loops no longer. So, given a bit more work, I can see this being a really high quality product!

Wow! Unexpectedly, a really good porn game! Very good gameplay and art! And very good emphasis on sex! Wow! If the game continues to be filled with content and diversity, it will be the best card porn rougelike that I have seen!

not a lot of content but what it has is very good
The art is good the gameplay is good but lacking balence and only having one boss sucks.
Plus After you win you should get a gallery or somthing
hope it gets updates what it has is not enough

it is really good for ai art and i love the porn aspect doesnt lock you out of combat it is alright for v0.1.1 needs a lot more events and new cards but simple nature of the game is great currently has oral and vaginal scenes but addition of anal would be good aswell

Fun minigame, let's hope dev continues working on it.

It's basically standard card rogue like game. You get some starter cards, got to choose your next path, you should plan ahead based on type of places you want to visit, some give more cards, other healing, etc...

In case you don't mind the pixelated graphics, I see no reason to not give it a try.

Has the bones of something really great, already shows off amazing art and ero combat system and good potential for encounters/artifacts/builds. Just needs more meat on its bones, but that will hopefully come with time! Would love to see this get consistent updates.

The art is great, I suspect it's AI-CG but the pixel effect creates a sort of uniformity. The gameplay is fun, it is a rogue-like with some really interesting mechanics, eg, finding software and installing it for passive bonuses/or hinderances. Deck building is fun with a battle fuck approach. Sex scenes are also quite well done.

The game is hard, I definitely needs some sort of in-between runs passive tree to make subsequent runs easier. But otherwise I look forward to further updates on this.

This definitely does not deserve 1 star.

The art is fun, the characters are cute (a little to juvenal but that is my personal taste and I'm aware it's not a shared one and could probably be passed off as the art style and the fact your character is meant to be an innocent virgin), and perhaps if you're experienced with deck builder games you might enjoy this game. I on the other hand have dabbled in those games and couldn't quite understand the importance of types of cards or what would be motivation for pushing forward to the final boss in this game. In the end I was just sorta confused playing through the game and underwhelmed because I thought it looked interesting. Obviously, I'm leaving a review on v 1.1, and it certainly comes off as an early demo version with all the lack of polish that goes for it.

I think if the game were to be improved upon in the future, it would be with the inclusion of a tutorial, a clear defined motivation for going through the game, and better scaling when introducing certain status effects so you can take better time to learn the ins and outs of why this could be fun to play.
