This game is kinda fascinating to me, but rather in the good way, not in the "car wreck in slo-motion" way. It promises in its title and byline to deliver a sexual transformation based cardgame, and it delivers on that premise without any particularly exciting flairs or overtly pretentious ornamentation.
I mean, its name is literally just "TF Card Battle", so it's clear that no hipsters from the indie game industry have even had a chance to sneer at it from over their Starbucks and working design drafts of "Her Smell As She Steps Out of the Shower and Sits on my Face: A Poem", but it's clear that a good bit of hard work went into this beast, and I think it actually benefits from the lack of excess arbitrary plot or details.
There's some shadow organization, they want to watch some dudes turn into sluts, now go suck each other's cocks until the other wants to suck cocks more than you. Great.
For the purpose of beating your meat, there are probably going to be certain cards that tickle your fancy more than others, but there's a decently large number of cards and deck themes, such that your hand will probably earn jail time for the domestic abuse of your genitals. Each round is a fight to the bottom, which is then followed by a boss who sometimes has unique dialogue for whatever cards you played, and I actually wished there were more of these unique dialogues while playing against regular goons. While I'm very glad that I'm not playing in yet another conversation heavy slogathon, there's a nice touch in the demeaning expressions that the bosses or your own avatar will lend to certain card actions.
That's a part of what makes this thing work, though, and what I find intriguing about the whole thing. What might be called "scenes" caused by the cards you've played are really just small looping clips from a large variety of porn videos. The resources of knowledge, love, and submission are just numbers used up in a resource management game; make your enemy's numbers go up faster than yours, and bam, you win. Still, all the little touches such as the card art, titles, and their effects on the game's progress allow your imagination to fill in the blanks quite nicely; you'll learn that certain cards work well together at increasing your odds of success, and you start building your deck out based on what opportunities you're given by the random drawings each turn. The result is that each round is a unique sequence of sexually flavored imagination prompts, culminating in the utter debasement of yourself and an imaginary enemy. There's something oddly cerebral going on here.
You see, playing the game as intended usually ends up occupying your higher thinking skills just enough that all those little details end up coalescing beneath the surface, giving you impressions of a dreamlike sexual escapade taking place while your vague statistical estimations keep you treading water ahead of the AI opponent. It's a testament to the designer of the game that the difficulty seems paced almost perfectly to keep you engaged through each round. You end up with just enough details to build your own depraved story in your head on what happens, without padding out your fapping session with the unnecessary, bland, boring and trite horseshit that many porn games fluff themselves up with. I honestly get tired sometimes reading shitty pickup lines or moonrune machine translated garblespeak, so it's nice to just skip that and get right to playing the "lick the tip" card.
It's been a while since a game I've played has a gameplay loop which supports the goal of the game -- or hell, a while since I've played a porn game with any gameplay at all -- which is why it's so refreshing to find one that creates unique sexual scenarios based on random chance and your imagination. The closest to this I've gotten otherwise is writing smut into AIDungeon, so it should say something that an HTML porn card game is pulling as much weight in getting my rocks off as a literal machine learning system, althought maybe I shouldn't be surprised at this rate if Google Adsense starts filling my browser with love letters or non-subtle invitations to give input prompts in a bar alleyway.
