Critic Reviews for The Royal Writ

The Royal Writ is a good roguelike that emphasises planning ahead, taking calculated risks, and rolling with the punches. However, at times, it can unfairly kill your run before you can even react to it.

The Royal Writ is a great deck-building strategy game with a cute medieval theme that combines managing cards and strategically placing them in a way that works really well. Each run is a gratifying strategic challenge thanks to its creative mechanics, which include balancing additive and multiplicative power growth, giving up units, and avoiding terrain hazards.
