The Royal Writ Reviews
Quote not yet available
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.
It’s always nice to see a different take on deck-based strategy gaming, and The Royal Writ manages to have a style all its own, but even as a roguelike fan this can be a bit too aggravating at times
It’s rare to see a game in this genre – or any genre, really – that defies easy classification, so in a world where everyone wants to be the next Slay the Spire or Balatro, it’s fun to see something try (and mostly succeed) at doing its own thing.
The Royal Writ doesn't hold your hand, but its unique brand of Roguelike deck building is well worth sticking with to experience something new.
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.
