The Royal Writ
A medieval roguelike deckbuilder where your fallen units become permanent legend entries. Permadeath has real narrative weight here.
GamerScout Verdict
Best for deckbuilder fans who want permadeath to mean something beyond a run timer.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Royal Writ
I'm intrigued by The Royal Writ's core hook: units you send into battle either return victorious or die permanently, their names etched into your kingdom's history. That's a deliberate design choice that makes deckbuilding decisions matter beyond pure statistics. You're managing both immediate tactical viability and long-term squad depth, which creates genuine tension during runs. The roguelike structure means each attempt reshapes your available roster through sacrifice and attrition. The medieval setting and trading-card integration suggest this isn't trying to out-complexity the Slay the Spire crowd. Controller support is solid for a deckbuilder, and cloud saves mean you won't lose progress across devices. With no early reviews and a sub-5 tier rating, this is still finding its audience, but the permadeath-as-storytelling angle deserves attention from players tired of consequence-free deck runs.
