I thought that I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up my run by accidentally making all my cards negative values but this game reminded me what negative X negative = positive, and made the most broken combo ever. 10/10

Fell in love with this game last year but hit a brick wall with the near-impossible Act II boss fight. Roll on to post-1.2.0.2, which made it far more manageable while still keeping it properly challenging. I hope with the recent announcement there will be a Royal Writ 2! Coming back to it reminded me just how much personality the game has. The artwork is beautiful, the soundtrack is sublime, and the whole thing has this weird medieval charm that makes it feel completely different from most deckbuilders. It has the charm of Inkulinati. The card synergies are where it really shines though. There’s so much satisfaction in building a completely ridiculous setup out of characters. Add in all the strange transformations, events, hidden interactions and historical references and you can create some seriously fun runs. Ended up going all the way to 41/41 achievements this time around, and even the more obscure ones were fun to work out. One of the most charming, clever and unique roguelike deckbuilders I’ve played.
