The Royal Writ is a strategic deck-building game where you command an army of unique animal subjects in tactical battles. Every card you play advances toward the enemy, but if they reach the opponent's base before victory, they are permanently lost. Balance risk and sacrifice to build a lasting legacy through each run.
Gameplay
In The Royal Writ, you strategically deploy cards representing battle-hardened animal warriors, each with distinct abilities. As they march toward the enemy, they deal damage—but if they reach the enemy base before winning, they are destroyed forever. The game blends roguelike progression with deep tactical choices, requiring careful planning to preserve your forces while securing victory. Special relics, challenge modes, and unique boss mechanics add layers of strategy to every run.
Story
Lead your kingdom through two gripping campaigns. The First Campaign sees you defending the throne against a growing rebellion, navigating treacherous terrain like poison swamps and deep pits. The Second Campaign introduces gunpowder warfare, forcing you to adapt to deadly new threats. Along the way, you'll encounter eccentric characters—like a mantis dentist or a goat tactician—who shape your journey. Every fallen soldier adds to your kingdom's legacy, making each decision meaningful.
